Lovely thought - lovely man

A man took his wife's wedding dress to a charity shop, he had pinned a note to the dress which read
Whoever wears this dress, may you have the 56 years of happy marriage my wife and I shared after she wore this dress ........ (not word for word - but near enough)
What a guy - 'sigh'
Apparently the dress had been well looked after and cherished - it was beautiful

Lovely story Patsy, I do hope whoever wears the dress is as lucky as that man was.
I was thinking about how fussy women are about wedding dresses that it might be too old fashioned for any bride to wear it nowadays?

Re: Lovely thought - lovely man

I like those dresses Jem
I think whoever buys it will have good luck in the marriage - I believe that as he wished it for them ...................

Its a lovely story. In a small place next to Leeds.
I last heard it was on e bay and gaining hundreds of pounds
for the hospice who put it on.
Sounds like his wife must have passed away. Bless him.

Re: Lovely thought - lovely man

Thanks for the info Sandy, yes she has passed on
Heard the 'snippet' on the radio this morning ..............

Re: Lovely thought - lovely man

This is the dress, sad there was no one in the family to whom it could be passed on.

Re: Lovely thought - lovely man

Oh ! So pretty, thanks Meg
and to see the actual note - so lovely ..................

Re: Lovely thought - lovely man

Re: Lovely thought - lovely man
