Today I said goodbye to my wedding dress. I'm a little bit sad and have shed a few tears, but I am also excited about the dress's next adventure in a different part of the world. My church is involved in mission work in Zimbabwe, particularly with refugees there, and they have helped in the set up of a wedding hire business that the women run. The idea is that the women become self-sufficient by running thier own business, and it has been so successful that they are also able to support a local group of orphans with the funds.
So my dress is now on it's way to Zimbabwe, where a disadvantaged woman will have the opportunity to wear a beautiful dress on her special day. That makes me feel pretty darn happy.
What a beautiful gift!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletewow, how timely. I've just gone back on i-do and was reading through old threads etc and seeing what everyone is up to now (we were wedding twins) and when i follow the link in your profile it's a wedding-related post!
Well, that should make you proud too...I know it would be sad but how awesome.
