Would you wear this??
Black wedding dress by Vera Wang. Aside from the sad undernourished look on the model, I would absolutely have worn a black dress! Black happens to be the only colour my husband wears. Can you imagine how he would have felt watching me walk down the aisle towards him in a black wedding dress? Who cares about what your family and friends think or what the world says about it. The wedding day is about joining a man and woman together though God in unity. In the moments when you speak you vows the world disappears. The months of planning don't matter, truly, you could be wearing shorts and a t-shirt and that moment would be forever emblazoned in your memory. The way he looks into your eyes. The sound of your heartbeat as you utter the words 'I do'. The years that follow matter, putting into practice the promises made with the heart. What does 'for better or worse' mean? or 'sickness and health'? These are the years and times that bring you closer together. Closer to God, the creator of marriage, closer to one another as husband and wife. It doesn't matter what you wear or how you look. It matters who you marry and more importantly who you become after the wedding. Am I still the person he wants to marry? Would his eyes water again to see me walk towards him, now that we have disappointments and memories behind us and not just hopes and dreams ahead?

Different Options
I heard about this today... I think it is a very interesting option. I loathe the idea of my spouse sitting in an urn on my mantle, but I also dislike the idea of him being buried in a cemetary. What if I move to a different place? It can be comforting to have a place to go to remember, so this is a new and interesting way to keep the memory of those you love close to you. This company and others like it, take the ashes of your loved ones and/or pets and create diamonds which you can then have set into rings or pendants. Is it morbid or brilliant? I haven't decided. Something to ponder...
