A divorced husband turned into his now ex-wife’s bridal gowns and bridal lignerie for revenge over their failed marriage. According to reports, Kevin Cotter was devastated when her wife of 12 years decided to move out of their home in Tucson, Arizona to live elsewhere. She took all of her belongings except the white wedding dress.

In spite, she told her husband that he can do anything he liked with the dress.

Cotter took the instruction by heart and went on to create a blog where he’s sharing to others the ways of destroying the dress. So far he has suggested 23 steps, starting from turning the bridal gown into a pasta strainer to yoga mat.

He’s thinking of making a book about this experience should he get an offer from a publishing company. He admitted that he was deeply hurt when his wife decided to leave him last year.

A dissolvable wedding dress may answer a woman’s desire to save up thousands of dollars on something that can be only once in her lifetime.

A group of students in Sheffield Hallam University in United Kingdom came up with this idea. This coincided with the current perception in the society where most things come now in disposable packages.

A recent research revealed that an average woman spends more than a thousand dollars on a wedding dress not to mention  bridal lingerie– a very expensive one that can be worn for just a day.

The disposable wedding dress is reportedly made of polyvinyl alcohol which is a biodegradable substance mostly used in washing detergents.

The wearer can come up with five different outfits out of the dress. The knitted dress allows it to dissolve in water easily thus leaving no serious impact in the environment.

The created designs are currently on display at the university’s Furnival Gallery with the theme “A Sustainable Marriage.”

Singer Katy Perry could not hide her excitement about her upcoming wedding to fiancé Russell Brand. She said she wants her designer wedding dress to be created by none other than John Galliano.

The couple announced their relationship when they attended Galliano’s event at the Paris Fashion Week in October last year.

The 25-year old artist said that she already talked with the designer about this plan because he had in some way contributed to their relationship. She added that it would look like they made it full circle in the process.

The couple plans to have a small wedding attended by only their loved ones.

Perry and Brand got engaged in India on New Year’s Eve last year. She made it to the top of men’s magazine Maxim’s Hot 100 Women’s list. She beat other popular celebrities such as Zoe Saldana, Brooklyn Decker and Kim Kardashian.

The city of Accra, the capital of African country of Ghana, will witness a festival wedding fair which featured bridal accessories, gowns and many more.
