My ex broke my heart - but I've had 101 kinds of fun with her wedding dress

When Kevin Cotter’s wife of 12 years left him, she told him he could do whatever he liked with her wedding dress.

So with the help of his ­family, the dad of two came up with ­a series of zany uses for it, ­including a ­hammock, a boat sail and a superhero cape.

But when the couple divided their things, she didn’t take her wedding dress telling him ‘Do whatever you want with it’. Instead the boxed-up garment ­languished in Kevin’s walk-in closet, ­adding to his pain every day.

So one night, a few months after his divorce, he asked his family what he should do with it.

“The first few suggestions were ­unrepeatable,” he recalls. “But we were all ­laughing hard ­­and we began a list[.]

[His ex-wife] says: “I wish all the best for Kevin and hope he seeks counselling to deal with his anger and resentment.”

She must have bought that dress. My mother made mine, and I would never have left it with Hubby 1.0.

I love this guys attitude and sense of humor. Life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Glad to hear too he has found a new sweetie with a similar sense of humor. Life is tough enough without laughter to soften the edges and sometimes soothe the whole of it.

You’ll need you Top-Secret FR Decoder Ring to translate. If you’ve lost yours, I can sell you a replacement for a very reasonable consideration.

I like Kevin.

[Slings and Arrows]

Definitely a man not to trifle with.

Dude dodged a bullet.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Note to wives thinking of splitting: take the wedding dress with you.
