Ok another symbol posted by Lovely is the one where Liz is kneeling down on her weeding dress, that scene actually looked as if she was kneeling right next to a tomb and as if she was mourning the death of a love one. Then it cuts to Jack coming out of a coffin.
Those scenes were mirroring Jack's death at the end of DMC, and Liz mourning his death.

i always thought it was just cuz it was a beautful dress! but its much more than thatdoes it annoy anyone else that her dresses are always getting ruined?!
Well not actually, apparently the dresses are a hassle to her. For example the corsets. The dresses symbolize her restrained life. Hence, COTB she was having a hard time with the dress. That corset would barely let her breath, basically it was uncomfortable, she didn't feel right in it. So uncomfortable and perhaps hazardous because it made her fall in to the water and almost got her killed. If it wasn't for Jack she would have drowned.
And Jack taking the corset off from her is also a symbol, this has been already discussed, meaning that Jack frees her from her restrained life. Jack basically changed her life when he saved her and removed that annoying corset from her.
