Wedding Dress Woes

This is my second engagement and I still have my wedding dress from my previous engagement.  It was an $1800 dress and I never brought myself to sell it.

Question is, do I use the dress for my wedding or is it distasteful to use it since it was from a previous engagement?  It is a beautiful dress and I love it... and most of my family says it isn't a big deal - to use it, but some of my friends say to get rid of it. 

I could always get a cheaper dress and spend the money elsewhere, but I love the dress.  I'm torn!

    If you already have it and you still love it, I don't see anything wrong with wearing it again.  One less thing to do, too.

    Wear the dress. I don't believe in bad luck. Plus, you've said more than once that you love the dress.

    If you love it, wear it. 

    Side note: I'm amazed at how often this question comes up. Maybe because everyone I know had few, if any, major relationships before meeting their husbands, but I'm shocked at how many people are engaged multiple times. I can't decide if I'm envious or not.

    Well, the break-up was pretty bad and the guy was a real jerk.  He told me that  I would be thinking of him if I kept that dress and if I wore it - I would be thinking of him at the altar whether I wanted to or not.

    bacon, don't be envious.  as someone who was enaged to someone else before mr. kat, there is a reason why those previous engagements failed.  typically a very good reason.

    OP: wear the dress.  if you love it, wear it.  who cares.

    What?  Why would you wear a dress that you bought to marry another guy, especially when you're pretty sure you'd be thinking of that other guy while wearing it?  That's a real d*ck thing to do to your husband-to-be.  Sell the damn dress already.

    save yourself $1,800 and just wear something you already love rather than waste time and money trying to find something that will measure up.  (this applies to fiances, too.)

    bmom, don't be jealous.  being engaged multiple times is not all it's cracked up to be.  okay, it's good for a few laughs, but only after some time.

    I would personally sell the dress, but that's just me. If you love it, why not wear it though?

    It's really not something to be envious of...

    ReturnOfKuus , seriously - don't be a douche.  I never said I would be thinking of him - HE did.  I was just giving an example of how retarded this guy was.

    nowherefast, don't listen to kuus.  she's a robot and has difficulty processing feelings.

    you get to decide what you are thinking about on the day of your wedding, and i'm guessing you're going to be pretty happy rather than thinking about your outfit or some douche from a few years back.  i know i was primarily thinking about cake and for the minister to end the ceremony quickly so i could have some cake.

    hahah thanks :)  If anything, I'll be thinking about how happy I finally am.  If i Keep the dress, I'll think about how happy I am that I'm wearing it in front of a real man - one whom I adore.
