Hi.

Teppy, the perfume got here. I like it, though not so much that IO'm heart broken that it's discontinued. Thanks again.

My wedding dress cost $650, though the whole outfit was closer to $1,000. But the flower girl's dresses were one of our great bargains -- we got them at Burlington Coat Factory the week after Easter and they were something like $30 each. The girls looked cute and no one went broke.

Also, happy belated anniversary, Jessica.

A frightening number of those dresses look like Barbie cakes.

Yes? No? Too slutty cowgirl?

Really, is there such a thing as a TOO slutty cowgirl?

I've been thinking that if I ever need a wedding dress I might just go look at bridesmaids' dresses instead.

Oh, but I forgot: [link] The Caroline, for when you want your wedding to also serve as advertisement for the brothel you run.

[link] The Madison, for when gothic tragedy will immediately follow your wedding, and you want to be prepared.

Before they will sell you The Madison, you have to certify that you're actually getting married on a rocky coastline.

Although so long as you can prove that you'll be driving away from the wedding in a topless MG, they'll sell you the dress without the veil.

That's right! I liked the Arden! I liked the Brie as well, but only if they could guarantee that it wouldn't make me look like Joan Rivers.

The "Titanic II" isn't actually that bad. Except, you know, for the unfortunate imagery that comes with the name. "If you thought the first disaster was bad, wait till you get to this wedding! Life jackets optional."

The Vivian, for when you forgot to buy a skirt, but you have a handy duvet lying around.

Hee!

OMG, I think I need to to make myself a hooded cape out of black tulle. Or black silk chiffon.
