One writer shares the story behind the unconventional sartorial choice she made—for a wedding that was less than conventional, to begin with.
would go something like this: I would walk into a dress shop, armed with respectable undergarments, and know exactly what I was looking for. I would emerge from the dressing room wearing something that appeared tailor-made for my body; no need for those clamps that dangle off me like I’m the world’s most expensive bag of half-eaten potato chips. I would stand on my little stage, and soak in the single biggest life event on my horizon.
Weddings seem to have a way of financially pitting our present against our future. With two big life events packed so close together, “now” and “later” felt even more at odds. Whatever I bought today was immediately headed for a cardboard box I was paying for tomorrow. I wanted whatever I bought for this wedding to be a carry-on item. But none of the packable dresses I ordered online felt quite right.
I asked my sister to run back to the house to grab the pajama shirt I left crumpled up on my bed. It was my grandfather’s XXL undershirt that I rescued before my step-grandma turned it into rags a few years back. She handed over the shirt, and I tied a droopy knot the way I do with all my t-shirts, for they are all grandpa rags with a dream.
