I just started to go to this dry cleaner right near my house and I told the guy my name and he asks me if I know this girl, naming my ex-wife. I've been divorced for almost 14 months now. So I say yes and tell him she is my ex-wife and he points to dry cleaning bill right behind me that is hanging there all by itself and begins to explain that he has been trying to get a hold of her for alittle over two years now because apparently she brought in her wedding dress to be restored and never picked it up. My ex moved away and I bought her out of the house. The phone number he tried to call was disconnected. So, he asks me if she would still want it and I tell him I don't know but I can remind her that's it's still here. He tells me that he would have to try and recoup the money by trying to sell it if she doesn't want it. I start to feel sad and thnk that mabe I should buy it but I left her a message and I'm going to pick up my clothes next week and see what happens. The most emotional thing for me was when I asked him why he's had it so long and he says he never lost hope that someone would claim it. It reminded me of how I used to feel.

Oh, that is sad, and I'm sorry.
But, my opinion, don't pick it up. I don't see any good that can come out of you picking up her wedding gown.
