Divorced man finds 101 uses for wife's wedding gown

A jilted husband has exacted revenge on the wife who dumped him by becoming an internet sensation with a blog on unconventional ways of putting her wedding dress to use. Kevin Cotter was crushed when his high school sweetheart walked out after 12 years of marriage. When she moved out of their home in Tuscon, Arizona, she took all of her possessions except for her lace- and pearl-embellished white wedding dress. She told her soon-to-be ex-husband that he could do with it what he liked.



Mr Cotter decided to write a blog chronicling the 101 uses for the rejected dress. So far, he has listed 23 uses, from a yoga mat to a pasta strainer, on "My Ex-Wife's Wedding Dress". He has used the dress as an ice pack, a skipping rope and even a sports banner. Mr Cotter aims to reach 101 uses and possibly publish a book about his experience in trying to find uses for a garment that usually only gets one outing.



He admitted he was distraught when his wife announced that she was leaving him last July. "She had all of her stuff loaded and I couldn't help but notice because this bridal keepsake box was dead centre on the main shelf in the walk-in closet," he said. "She said 'I'm not taking it,' and when I asked what I should do with it her reply was do whatever I wanted."

maybe if he would have been as inventive & cheerful during his married years, she wouldn't have run of ????

Its a shame :( , an ending of the marriage is never a easy thing and from his response it must of been sudden or to a degree unexpected for him. I dont agree with the guys with the guys blog, it doesnt seem to be the best way to get over the break up and will most likely just make him more bitter,

When you hear what some guys resort to when their wives leave them, this guy looks like freakin' Pollyanna.  At least he's taking out any emotions he might have on the wedding dress... and not on the woman.

He should have sold it and then spent the money on strippers.
