I don't remember caring about my wedding or my dress as a young girl, but from 1981 on, I was set on wearing Princess Diana's dress. Whoever I would marry didn't matter, as long as I could wear that dress!
What I failed to see, and what no one told me, was that Princess Diana was a tall, slim, and young woman on her wedding day. She could carry off that confection of a dress. By the time I got married, I was none of those things. I looked not unlike a huge pile of whipped cream. Let's just say I was way past the age where a woman might wear a huge veil, traditionally a symbol of virginity. (Getting married at all and for my reasons was probably not a good idea, but that's another story).
I donated the dress and the veil eventually got cut up for one of my daughter's art projects.
