Wedding dresses--and weddings for that matter--have always baffled me. It seems the entire affair is put on to impress friends and family rather than please yourself and your husband to be. Why women put themselves through the torturous task of rifling through racks and racks of similar-looking white fabric, speaking to obnoxious sales ladies, making arrangements for hundreds of people they barely know... <br /><br />Please understand, I get that her wedding is one of a woman's most important days, but ask 85% of them and they barely remember it. Moreover, the year or two of planning is always a maddening, convoluted time they prefer not to remember. To add to all that, the expense of the affair itself is compounded by the purchase of a garment equivalent in price to a compact or midsized car!<br /><br />I did not pay for my dress, instead opting to use that as the "something borrowed" part. Our wedding was a small affair which I enjoyed (for the most part) putting together, attended by 30 people, enjoyed and remembered by both C and I.<br /><br />Bottom line: I completely agree with you :)V!http://vaodiva.com/iblognoreply@blogger.com
