This was just devastating to read. I loflowed you through your excitement and joy in the beginning. Through your goals to lose weight and grow your business. I was amazed you shot a wedding the week before your own. I remember you asking if you thought any of us were crazy that you found the dress of your dreams 2 weeks before your wedding putting your original one aside. I loved your pictures and your photographer’s, it felt like I was there. You invited us all into your life. We celebrated your achievements, and were lucky enough to see the fun you had before, during, and after your beautiful wedding. Though the dress is destroyed no one can destroy the memories you made from the moment it became yours. The love and excitement of your wedding day will live on inside you through the many pictures and blogs you have shared. Mourning the loss of such an important piece of your wedding is to be expected. The dry cleaner should be hung out to dry. And I agree with those above, hold on to the fabric the dress may not itself be saved, but you may find another use for it. One that gives you happy memories of things to come and of what was.
