: About Me

I am a special education teacher who loves helping students discover their creative voice through writing or what their specific creative outlet happens to be. I love that feeling I get when I see students try and succeed or when they realized they understand something. I enjoy watching them grow and progress.
I like a good joke. I love language and how it's put on the page. I like to be fair and hear all sides of a dispute before I render my verdict. I may not like you or your opinion, but I don't think that necessitates bashing you. I try to live and let live.

Celebrations & Holidays > Wedding Budget Would you wear a pre-owned wedding gown?

37 of 43

I am a practical person. I know that the cost of a new wedding dress can eat through the biggest of wedding budgets. Therefore, I would have no problem whatsoever wearing a pre-owned wedding gown. For years I have been asking anyone who would listen, "If the groom can rent his tuxedo, why can't the bride rent her dress?" I still have not gotten a satisfactory answer to that question. I don't see the point of buying a wedding dress that you will, in all likelihood, wear only once. If you should get married again, would you really want to wear the same dress you got married in the first time...
