Metro US reported Kristy as saying: “I wanted to burn the dress, because I couldn’t burn the marriage. It definitely helped me get through everything.

“The day I was divorced I decided to burn the wedding dress. It was hung up in my closet.

“I got the idea because we were packing stuff up in the house, because I’m getting rid of the house.I threw everything, I pulled it out.

“It was a symbol of something i thought was good that turned bad.Nobody talked me out of it, everyone was very supportive and there for me. It was great.

“That was my original wedding bouquet too. It was burnt. I threw it in the fire. The dress burnt to nothing. I felt lighter after that.

Kristy is now in a new relationship and says: “I’m doing great. I’m in a relationship now. He’s definitely different to my ex-husband, in a good way.

“I definitely would love to get married again, and I would definitely wear a white dress, but it would be so different to that dress.”
