Rental madness

There was an ad on TV for a bridal fair just a moment ago. It occurred to me that the bride spends thousands of dollars on a dress she’ll never wear again but the groom rents his tuxedo, which is something he’ll have many chances to wear again. That seems backward to me.

A bride can also rent a dress, although it is not common in the U.S., it is very common in south american countries. I think I will rent when the time comes, there’s no need to keep a white dress around, taking space, just to get yellow and old.
