I assure that these gowns suffer NO resemblance to the dress you will witness on September 22, 2002. However, I was ever so curious about what a traditional gown would feel like.

So, we travelled to our nearest discount bridal store and had ever so much fun with our fashion shoot.

The experience was one I will not soon forget. It was ever so hot and uncomfortable in the tiny dressing room. The sales representative gave me a dingy old bra/corset whose boning kept popping out and poking me in the armpit.

We don't really have any good pictures of my current engagement ring, we decided that we found a most . . . Luscious setting in which to finally capture the radiance of the ring.

The best part of the whole experience was the fabulous male mannequin with the ill fitting toupee. He was truly the most exquisite element of our expedition to traditional bridal land.
