Okay, so I had been engaged for 2 years and was supposed to be married on September 18, 2010, I realized in July that the guy wasn't making me happy, wasn't right for me, so in august 2010 I called off my wedding. He was a nice guy, but i loved his family more than I loved him. We never had sex cause i wasnt attracted enough to him, he was lazy, boring, a push over, and i had to be the man of the relationship when it came to keeping us safe, changing oil, tires, assembling things etc. I realized I deserved better.
But I still have my dress. My beautiful dress that I never got to wear. My beautiful empire waist, a line, cathedral train with embrodery and beading all the way down dress. Nobody except my mom and my sister saw it.
Well, in December of 2010 I met the man of my dreams. We took it slow because I was afraid of moving too fast in to a new relationship. But I know he's right for me. I feel everything for him that I should have felt before. He's smart, sexy, great in bed, our personalities align perfectly, I moved him in with me and I've never been happier. He's strong, works with his hands, knows how to fix everything and I never need to ask for anything, because he's already taken care of it. He knows my whole past and looks past it, sees me as a strong person for doing what made me happy.
We've begun looking at rings so he could see what I like and talking about wedding bells. That alone will be hard for my mother to overcome because she still wishes I'd gotten married, despite seeing how happy I am now.
My question is, should I sell my old dress and buy a new one? Or since nobody saw it can I still wear it? Part of me feels it's tacky to wear it, since when I bought it it was for a different wedding...
Advice?
