The whole carting it on our honeymoon and taking some pictures on the beach is very intriguing...I also like the donation idea--I can take the tax write off, and someone else can benefit by getting a great dress cheaper, and the funds raised help those less fortunate. Even the selling idea has it's appeal... I love the heirloom container idea, but $10,000+ is way beyond insane--and I have nowhere to put it. I am not super thrilled with the sticking in a box on the top shelf of my closet for all enternity in case someone would want to wear it. Just seems like to could be put to better use. I guess I will decide after I get married....:-) That is a very good question–one I should probably have answered in the article..;-)
