My daughter finds the best home-made wedding dress
Long ago, I made my own wedding dress and I think it was beautiful and it was very inexpensive. I never wore it again so, since I’m a frugal person, I’m glad the wedding material was not too expensive and the labor costs were nil. However, others have more luxurious notions. This one, too, was sent to me by my daughter the bride-to-be. Her IM discussion about it with a long-time friend is below.

| Daughter: | “This is my new concept for wedding dress:” | Friend: | “Honestly, I don’t hate it, aside from the weird loin cloth/ exposed leg thing. which i guess is more than half of the dress…
“What if you just bought lace and satin in bulk, and wait til day of to wrap it around yourself? It’s like a surprise! and everyone loves surprises at weddings.” |
| Daughter: | “Sounds great. “Gladiator mummy” is a very original wedding theme. What kind of centerpieces would go with it, do you think?” |
| Friend: | “The heads of slaves who died in battle. Or, would that be too red… ?” |
| Daughter: | “No, I think that’s good. We could also get a really big cake and have mummies jump out of it and engage the guests in battle. Seems like a good way to keep people awake and alert during the reception, since those can otherwise get tedious.” |
I honestly didn’t think I’d be writing about things like this, but my daughter is funny and I thought her happy viewpoint might entertain some other marrying couples. Back to the regular broadcast soon!
