My dress was plain, longsleeved but off the shoulder with no frills. I could not find one wedding dress without bows, lace, pearls, muttonchop sleeves and in one particualrly hideous case- pom poms. I got a bridesmaid's dress in white.

The NHL has decided to pine for the fjords this season.

I don't follow the NHL, but wow, that's a lot of money to throw away over how to split it up.

My mom's wedding dress was an a-line long sleeved dress that ended about 4 inches above her knees. Had a little standup mock turtleneck collar.

Hey, it was 1968 (maybe '67?) and they got married in the farmhouse livingroom. She looked 12. But then, she looked 12 until late in her 20s.

Dude, I swear half the time, LJ doesn't show me all the damn posts.

Amych, you hid it in a *sports* post!

Sneak.

Gorgeous dress, though.

Amych, your dress is fantastic (I mention this because it's like a better version of my dress without the flower my dress has).

Beverly, thank you for the link the pretty royal dress. I like the 50s styling.

I found a new breakfast place. As usual, breakfast is STILL my favorite out to eat meal.

When I was a wee little girl, and swoony over anything having to do with brides, including the infamous "bride doll", brides could wear short cap sleeves, even off-the-shoulder cap sleeves, but they wore opera gloves that left only a modest amount of upper arm showing. Brides who wore elbow-length sleeves wore wrist-length gloves, and three-quarter sleeves got the cropped above the wrist gloves. How do I know all this? Because I used to read the society pages, wherein everyone who didn't elope or get married at city hall had their wedding reported, in delirious detail. The church, the flowers, the attendants' gowns, and the wedding gown and headdress. My pre-pubescent head swam with "sweetheart neckline edged with re-embroidered Alencon lace" vs. "a boat neckline and a bodice of draped and shirred tulle coming to a point at a dropped waist, that flared into a gathered skirt of tulle with beaded pailliettes over champagne satin." "A fingertip veil caught to a Juliet cap edged with pearls" vs. "A pearl tiara held her chapel-length veil." And then there was the ongoing question of when it's my turn will I carry an extravagantly described bouquet vs. a satin-covered prayerbook?

now you people have me looking at pics of wedding dresses - BAD.

fun lovely I love tulle so much

Ooh, where? Me too, even though it doesn't work for my favorite type of food.
