Jilli, if a close friend was having a very traditional wedding and asked you to be in it and wear a very traditional dress, would you accept?
Yes, absolutely. I just can't think of any of my friends who *would* have a very traditional wedding.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Susan, if you haven't already done so, you must see that xkcd in the original context: the hover text makes it even better (as it does most days) [link]

Oh, the hover text is brilliant!

Randall Munroe is the first great hover-text artist.

shrift, does it have to be from David's?
I love this dress from J. Crew (in fact, I love J. Crew's special occasion collections!) But it doesn't come in Marine. Still v. v. pretty.

If I ever have a wedding I think I'd like all groomsmen and maids to wear matching zoot suits.
Also, possibly to ride in on unicorns given the likelihood of it actually happening.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ooh, that is a very pretty dress, Kat, and entirely shrift-worthy. And wow, almost the whole collection is rather nifty.
This one, though? Nice enough, but it doesn't look like it'd be terribly flattering on anyone over an A cup and it definitely doesn't look like $2000 worth of dress.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what I want in wedding-wear? Sleeves. WTF, fashion trends? Isn't it time for sleeves to come back in??

I miss sleeves in formal wear.
JZ, I totally agree. NOT a $2000 dress!
This dress, on sale, is fabulous and would be perfectly sloungey as well as dressy. Very va-va-voom!

Not necessarily, but for the purpose of color-matching, it probably would be best. Also, bride informs me that she has a coupon for 20% off.
