Would you give me your opinion on wether or not you would consider wearing the
wedding dress of someone whose marriage ended in divorce? I just read something
about a man who was trying to sell his wife’s wedding gown to pay the divorce
bills and it triggered my thoughts as far as, "Who might want to buy it?!"

I don't think it would bother me.
I think you'd have to think that divorce had given the dress bad mojo or something, but I think I'd just think of it as buying a dress. If you bought it in a secondhand shop you'd never even know.
Divorce does a lot of things, but I don't think it inherently ruins a wedding dress. :)

I wouldn't have a problem
I wouldn't have a problem wearing a dress that someone else had been married in, not even if they were divorced. The divorce rate is so high in this country that it would be ridiculous to worry about such a thing, because let's face it, if you are buying a previously worn wedding dress, chances are the former owner is divorced or dead. I do know a girl who still has her dress from a broken engagement and plans to just wear it at her future wedding. THAT I have a problem with!
