Is this odd behaviour for a bride?

Yes I think it's odd. She hasn't grasped how your son might feel about her wearing the same dress she wore for marrying another man, yet in her defence, maybe she's recreating aspects of her first wedding that she really loved.

Odd?
Perhaps she likes it better than anything else she has seen.

How nice that she can still fit into the dress, six months after my wedding I could not get into the dress.
Perhaps she is a serial monogamist and the dress is a ritual.

Very weird . I’ve been married 3 times (skint each time) and would have never worn the same dress/outfit/jeans for any of them .

My son is getting married in the summer. This will be my new daughter in law's second marriage - the first ended in a rather messy divorce so I'm told. She's been really enthusiastic about the wedding - who would't be? - and thrown herself wholeheartedly into a big white wedding. But what I'm finding really strange is that there are certain things she is doing that are exactly the same as her first wedding. The most odd (to me) is that she is planning on wearing the same dress. Wouldn't that taint the day for you somewhat? Money is not an issue - I know my son has offered a few times to buy her a new dress and her parents are very well off too plus they both have good jobs.
