Rizzo, our bullmastiffxrotti got to me wedding dress. It was hanging in my closet and since we are still renovating we don't have doors on it...and he was bored and ripped it down and chewed it up a bit. Most of it is okay but some of the fine beadwork is ripped right out...I had hoped to pass it along to my daughter someday.

...Maybe she can still use the material and redesign it somehow. *sigh* Oh...and you can all kick my husband...he fails to see why I am so upset about something that can't be changed anyway and there really was no need for me to be swearing up the bluestreak that I was.......jerk.
 
I'm really sorry, Aislin. I can't imagine.

I hope that you can forgive your pup and maybe eventually find humour in the situation. After all, it sounds like the dress can be repaired and rebuilt, and in any case it will now probably symbolize your love of animals in your daughter's eyes :)
 
My two cents? I think it frees up your daughter a little to maybe incorporate some of your dress into hers (if she chooses to get married in a dress) but she now won't feel like she's stuck having to wear your dress to make you happy if it turns out that she wants something different from what you wore. I don't think I know any women lately who've worn their mothers' dresses. Styles change quite a bit in a generation . . . Sorry, though. It always sucks when the dog ruins something one is attached to.

and my ability to stay cool in a bad situation *snort* I taught that girl some really wonderful words ...

I can forgive the dog...its our fault anyway. He didn't get his walks today and he needs them. He usually gets a minimum of two a day and he got zero today. He was acting out and blowing energy. Hard lesson learned. Rizzo needs his walks.....
 
desertanimal.... I would never force my daughter to wear my dress. I know fashions change and would have offered it to her or offered to let her change it or just buy her brand new one. Its just that the first option is NOT ever going to happen now. Makes me a bit sad is all....
 
...and on a side note...when I was looking for a dress I really, really wanted to incorporate my mom's dress somehow, either reworked or something but she had gotten rid of it ages ago and I never had the opportunity. I would have liked to have had the choice.

I know you wouldn't. I didn't mean to imply that. But you seem to be a really good person and a great mom, and I expect she'll want to make you happy. People do all kinds of things they don't want most but think their parents want at their weddings. You're totally right that the first option is no longer an option and I can see why that might make you feel sad. I'm just saying that the bright side of that same coin is that she can't possibly feel any pressure (imagined or not) to go with that option, but can still utilize your dress, which I think is just as sweet and touching. Sorry--I meant no negative implications.
 
I wasn't offended desertanimal...I just didn't want anyone to think I would be one of those pushy moms. I hope my kids know they can alway be honest with me.

Thanks for the comments. Now I'm blushing lol.

Anyway, must be off to bed now. 5 am comes fast and I can't have my eyes drooping as I'm driving people around lol.

Have a great night everyone.
