What A Difference A Day Makes...

When we were in Seattle a few weeks ago, we were getting ready to board the bus which was to bring us to the cruise ship when I saw an adorable young couple leave our hotel and sit down outside. I said to my friend Julie "this is a blog opportunity if I ever saw one!"



Yep, that would be her crinkled up wedding dress in her lap, not hanging up nicely in a bag or anything, nope, just walked out of the hotel lugging it under her arm. See it spilling over onto the street!

What a difference a day makes. I bet just 24 hours earlier she would have thrown herself in front of a bus to protect that dress!

Oh you are so right! She would have been crying if there was one drop of dust on the thing.
Looks a little exhausted don't ya think?

What a sweet post! You are right, she would have risked life and limb to protect that dress just a day earlier. I hear it's becoming a fad to ruin the wedding dress after the wedding. Many brides who get married near the ocean jump in and splash around on purpose. Mine is still stored lovingly in my closet. Blessings

Hi Linda!
Been awhile, hasn't it? Hope you haven't forgotten about me! What you wrote about that young woman and her dress is so very true. Of course, I still cherish my wedding dress and have it boxed up like a piece of priceless treasure.
