[Quiet Man Cometh]

I learned the bulk of my fashion terminology from those shows, if not Project Runway, but that doesn't seem to be around anymore! Maybe Tim Gunn needs to start a wedding show...

My current wedding dream (yes, I have one!) is forgoing and elaborate dress and getting a big white fur coat instead (winter wedding ideally) and something like a relatively simple empire waist dress for underneath, for dancing and dinner after whatever ceremony happens.

Having accompanied two sisters so far on bridal dress excursions, I'm getting a fair idea of what's important to keep in mind when it comes to looking at dresses. Things like being able to sit down, eat, move, and be comfortable in according to the weather. Apparently anything one has to wear spanks in is not ideal for a summer wedding.
