A jilted bride has put her unworn wedding dress up for sale on eBay with a tongue-in-cheek listing, injecting a bit of humour into an otherwise heartbreaking situation.
She created an eye-catching name for the item, ‘Rejected wedding dress seeks lasting love and holy matrimony,’ and the description reads:
‘I was supposed to be worn at City Hall in New York. I was going to be the main attraction of a 60s wedding theme… Then they split up.’
‘And [the bride] kept me in the box. Because she couldn’t bear to look at me.
‘I am a constant reminder to her of what could have been. So she wants to sell me.’
: ‘I’m not over the top, nor am I too dressed down, and [my owner] thought she could perhaps wear me to other occasions in the future.
‘She thought I was a dress she could look back on and smile, not cringe at fashion faux pas (she was right).’
