    Wedding-related decisions don't stop after "I Do." After the cake is cut and the guests have sobered up, there's a perhaps-sweaty, perhaps-stained wedding dress hanging in the closet, waiting to be dealt with. It's an incredible symbol of your big day that you spent months agonizing over, but you're never going to wear it again.

    What to do? Do you sell your gown or keep it as homage to your wedding day? We polled our Facebook fans on whether they'd consider selling their dresses, and the answers ranged from "Not a chance" to "I wish I had" to clever ways to get more mileage out of the gown. Check out these ideas from our readers and let us know if you'd consider letting go of your wedding dress.
