Another One Bites the Dust....

Sigh. It's happened. Yet another one in my group (one of my groups) is getting married. Danna MacEachern is about to become Danna.....um...whatever Andrew's last name is (mental note: add that to the list of things I must learn before the wedding). Well, the really good news is that I will be well versed in buying wedding gifts by the time Danna's wedding rolls around, what with Lori's wedding next month.

As Danna was recounting her proposal, the only thing I could think of was that she should wear a red wedding dress. I remember watching General Hospital as a child and Lucy Coe married Alan Quartermaine in flaming red dress with a big red hat (it was an accidental purchase but the image stayed with me). I love this idea and I suggested it to Danna. Needless to say she didn't think this was such a hot idea (pardon the pun). But I am not one to give up. I just did a search on Google for red wedding dresses and...they are actually quite common in Europe and starting to become popular in North America. There are actually some nice ones as well...




I'm kind of partial to the 4th one and this is just a sampling of what I found. There are some nice red and white ones as well since Danna wants to go traditional with a white wedding dress (so daring since she's LIVING with her fiancee). Although the white wedding dress has only been common for the past 100 years or so and that's when Queen Victoria wore a white dress for her wedding to Prince Albert. Before that, women wore whatever colour suited them. So I say wear RED!
