Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Tanya.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Should we just address it now before it's too late
and we get going this morning, because once seven o'clock hits,
we're paying your bills. It's Ryan's roses Land.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
No, I wanted your input.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, that's what I mean. Let's get into it.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
I have a couple things like, now that my wedding
is over and I have this wedding dress, I have
a couple avenues that I can go down, and I
cannot decide which path to take.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
So this is what do I do with my wedding
dress after I've used it?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yes, so my first thought was to resell it? What right?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Why? I thought, No, I've never done this before.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
But I was just at yours and I thought, after
you get married, you keep the dress, and then you
get excited when you can fit back into it in
a year, two years or three years.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
So my mind was like, if I could get some
good bang for this dress, why would I like what
it's just going to sit in my closet for in.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Your closet for. Yeah, so then you can also preserve them.
I mean some good buck, not some good bang.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
That's what I meant.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Sorry, good buck, good bye. And then I thought about
maybe chopping it and making it into like a dress
that I can wear on our anniversary every year, and
then I also thought about preserving it and saving it
for future children. But that's the dog. I don't want
to put that pressure on this.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's no pressure though. This is what I did. I
preserved mine. It's in like a vacuum sealed box or
whatever he's about. Because if you don't, if you just
hang it, if you just hang it right.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It turns yellow.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Eventually, Yes, it'll start like the color will just get
a little dingy looking and just over time. But if
they vacuum seal it into this box, and if they
the dragon things I actually did it at Milton Needies,
they'll make it super pretty. So the outside of the
box is clear and you can see it.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's almost like a coffin and that.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
But now it's it is a giant box that I
have stored in like one of our closets. But here's
the thing, Tanya and I didn't know what I was
going to do with this dress. And it's been eleven
years now since I've done this. I am going to
and I have her appointment set for next month. I'm
taking it out of the box, and I'm doing a
photo shoot with Asa and Saveyah wearing my dress at

(02:08):
the ages of seven and three years old. And it's
going to be like a beautiful photo of them with
like the dress all big on them, and it's something
that I will give to them when they get married
one day.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's super cute. That is super cute.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
That is super cute.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
So I didn't know if I would have had old boys.
Who knows, but I.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Know a lot of people said, also, you can like
take it and make christening outfits or whatever from the
fabric la down there.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Also you could just put it when you have kids,
put it on a hangar, put a son on the door.
This was for you. You don't feel the pressure. You
don't have to use it. Or maybe I could purchase
it for my bride to.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Be one day. That's weird. That'd be so weird. Kanye's
wedding dress. Yeah, you wanted to get a bang for
her bock.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Rent the wedding dress. A lot of people are doing it,
like reselling their wedding dresses.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, a lot of people do resell it. I mean,
if you're not attached to it, then do its idea. Yeah,
it's cute.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Jobs were still doing that photos? Were you gonna wear
my official tucks from the officiating, Yeah, I'm in. I
still gotta trim, trim a little bit of the waistline
to get into it.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Don't be so hard on yourself. You're gonna look cute
in it.
