She wrote in the video:

"You're right. We pay too much to wear our wedding gowns once."

@thandiwe.g.melato opened up to the public and stated:

"Mina guys, I wear my wedding dress whenever I feel overwhelmed, depressed or even having a bad day! I wear it and dance around the house and then khumula it, pack it back. I use it as my pain killer, and it works all the time."

@noklunate_grootboom came up with a great suggestion, writing:

"Why don't you guys host a bridal party or picnic? All of you who still have your wedding gowns should attend."
