Yesterday my Aunt asked me to give my cousin my wedding dress for her wedding. My cousin is getting married August of next year. She is getting married in Vieques or rather, she is hosting a ceremony in August as she is already married. I don't know how I feel about this. Lets just say that I wasn't jumping up and down for joy to give it to her.
I have only been married for a little over three years and to give her my wedding dress and have her alterate it and wear it as her own bothers me, a little. I realize that this is quite selfish of me as I have paid no attention to the dress since the day of the wedding. I don't even think I hung the dress up. If I remember correctly I tossed it on the bed and had my mother in law pack it away for me. I was in a rush to get to Maui--you do understand, I hope.
It's just a dress, a piece of fabric, a thousand-dollar Demetrios fabric and the most expensive item, after my engagement ring that I have ever owned...it's not a big deal. Just give my cousin the dress and be happy about it, I tell myself, but in reality, I'm hoping that everyone forgets about the dress. I'm hoping that my cousin gets her own dress and I'm hoping that maybe one day I can fit into that dress again.
So there you have it. I am selfish, I am bitter and I am overweight...ok, I'm off to munch on something fattening...
