I originally found a cute wedding dress for $30 on Craigslist sold by this equally cute hipster chick.  She told me, “I bought this and then I found a dress that suited me better.”  There’s something about the human spirit that can’t turn down a $30 wedding dress that fits you, so I bought it.  I tried it on without a mirror in their bedroom.  Her cats judging me as they lounged on the bed.  Me, struggling by myself to zip the dress on my own.  The hipster couple waiting for me to exit their house as they were packing for their move the following week.  I’m sure that’s what ever girl dreams of when she tries on her wedding dress, right?  It did fit, and it was a completely acceptable wedding dress, but it was just a little… er…a little too wedding-y.  Models make dresses look so much better.  Also, this whole wedding planning experience and lack of emotional response to anything traditional convinces me I might just be a robot.

So I found a cocktail dress that’s more my style and decided to do the same favor by selling the dress for cheaps on the same site.  I received a response a day later.

“Hi.  Is the dress still available?”
“Yes!  I’m only home a bit over the weekend, but you’re welcome to come over and try it on.”

That was easy.  This dress has found a home, or at least another another indecisive bride with a nonexistent budget.

Then I received the next response:

Dang it…

“Sorry, cash and local pick ups only.  Good luck,” I tell my new best friend on Craigslist.

It’s a pity.  I’m sure Ade’s daughter would have loved that dress until she found another one that was more her style.
