Oh, Young Love...

Ummm, I'm not quite sure what to say about the wedding I'm going to show you today. All over the internet, you can find elegant, beautiful, inspiring weddings. This is not one of them. I figured other blogs have the market cornered on those. Let's spice things up a little.

Meet 16-year-old Missy Quinn and her husband, 17 year old Thomas Moghon, both from the UK. Click here to read an article about them from Closer.





Her dress weighed 336 pounds!!!! This completely blows my mind. I assume it's due to the glacier attached to her rear end. Missy accessorized her dress with a £500 crystal bouquet, sparkling choker, tiara, belly-button jewel, hair clips and garter, plus fake tan, false eyelashes and body glitter. Whew, I'm a little impressed.

Oh, but it gets better my friends. Meet her bridesmaids:



This gives me all sorts of ideas... *evil smile*

Want to meet some guests?





Yes those are fur coats, Chris Hansen would be alllll over this.

Maybe you're wondering how these kids came to have this particular sense of style? Meet the parents:



I might have to copy that little boy's suit for Matt.

Want another example of why people should not get married at such a young age? Here is a quote from Missy, “Thomas might expect me to cook and clean, but I’m not going to. He can look after me as far as I’m concerned!”

The Dress (Options)

I've been asked by more than a few people if I have gotten my wedding dress yet. The answer is no. Procrastination is a beautiful thing people!

But of course I have been looking into what styles I like. I refuse to spend a ton of money on a wedding dress (if you've gotten married recently you can stop laughing now). There are actually lots of options available.

I'll start with the ubiquitous David's Bridal. I won't lie, I went there with my Mom a while back and it creeped me out. It was crammed with cranky brides and their crankier families. Girls in wedding gowns stood on carpet covered platforms that marched in rows down a hallway that reminded me of a back storage room in a warehouse. It must be what Wedding Barbie feels like at the Mattel factory.

But whatever, a dress is a dress right? Here are some I liked:


Very pretty. I think it's one of those dresses you have to try on to see how you really feel about it. It's style ST9505 - no name, they're sentimental like that.


This dress appeals to me much more. I'm into the Grecian, flowy look since I'll be outside all day. I'm really digging the back. Style is SRL9499.

Moving along now, lets look at Alfred Angelo. There were a lot of his dresses I thought I liked, but getting ready to post them here I realized that they didn't do anything for me. Only one dress really did it for me:


This dress makes me swoon (do people still do that?) I might have issues with the neckline, but we'll see. This is style 755.

Now lets play the alternate universe game where if money was no object, what dress would I wear? The answer is almost anything from Manuel Mota Pronovias.


If I could design the perfect dress for me, this would be it. This is called Salem, and it gives me the angels singing and heavens opening moment. It's also around $3000.


This dress is called Selene.


This is the Silueta.


And finally, this is Sadur. *Sigh* Now I need to find a rag to wipe the drool off my keyboard...

Spring/Summer 09 Wedding Fashion

Just for kicks (I could never afford this stuff) here are some wedding looks from the Paris fashion week shows that just wrapped up. Most of these designers have their own wedding lines already, but these are from their traditional runway shows.



Gorgeous dress from Badgley Mischka. I think you'd have to have some kind of figure to pull this off without looking like a marshmallow or Big Bird's albino cousin though.



I like the idea of a non-traditional wedding dress color and Monique Lhuillier made a fantastic one. This would be great outdoors, especially on the beach.



This is another great beach look from Blumarine. It looks super comfy.



*Yawn* I'm sure someone would like this dress from Carolina Herrera but it makes me want to take a nap. Too WASPy for me.



Oh dear. This dress from Dolce & Gabbana is unfortunate, no two ways about it.



I loooove Jenny Packham. Another cool twist on the wedding dress.



This is too hipster for me to pull off, but on the right woman these Joanna Mastroianni dresses would rock.



Yes, Roberto Cavalli was purposely going for the sea anemone look here. Interesting, and surprisingly retro.



Hmm... I guess you need toned knees for this Temperley London look.



I saved my favorite dress for last. This is Zac Posen. It's perfection and I would sell a kidney to have it. Well... not really I'm just feeling dramatic today.



Ok I lied, this is the best dress from Maison Martin Margiela. My search is over!
