Marriage can be the greatest bond – which can be taken in either good or bad way.
Marriage or wedding – and everything that goes with it – is treated special in every way and has a corner in everyone’s treasure box.
No groom is equally delighted and happy than a bride in a wedding. So, the woman must have a very great (and good, maybe) reason to let go of the marriage – and everything that goes with it.
Just like Samantha Wragg of Chesterfield who offers her wedding dress on eBay and says she will use the cash to fund her divorce after her husband left her for another woman.
“(I am ) mainly selling as I need to pay for my divorce which my ex-husband has left me to foot the bill for”, said Samantha.
To advertise her “product”, Samantha even added her story with her estrange husband on the online auction site to spice up and receive bids.
Not only Filipinos have “hugot” because Samantha has also some pints of it.
She describes it on the listing as being in “great condition but needs dry cleaning before wearing to get rid of the stench of betrayal”, adding that she did not have time to have it cleaned before her husband “decided to call an end to our marriage”.
She added: “I’ll also throw in my veil (yes, that’s right – I went all out princess on the day!).”
She goes on to apologise for only posting two photographs of the dress on the advert, but says that “when I found out my husband was living with another woman, I pretty much burned/permanently deleted everything with his disgusting face on it!”
She added: “If you want a dress that is full of bad memories and shattered hopes and dreams then this is the one for you! Hope this dress brings you a lot more happiness than it brought me in the end and if not…well you can always sell it on here!”
The 28-year-old, Ms Wragg, says her parents bought her the size six dress for “around £2,000” in 2014. She first put it up on eBay for £500 on 11 August. The Art Couture dress has now attracted bids in excess of £13,000.
And despite the tone of her online advertisement, Ms. Wragg says she does not bear her ex any ill will. And actually, she wishes him and his woman happiness.
“I wish my ex-husband all the best with everything. Yes, he made a terrible and really hurtful mistake but he’s got to live with that (and without me!) for the rest of his life.
“I forgive him and I’m very happy now so I hope he is too”.
Samantha is now dating a guy whom she thinks is not deserving to sell another wedding dress for.
