I believe they are expecting the letter U (the character from Sesame Street) to indemnify against theft.

Well you might be better off paying it instead of going to jail AND paying bail, lawyer and court fees.

That is the reason that white is now symbolic of “first wedding” instead of virginity.

Maybe this bridezilla wanted all of the attention, then again… wouldn’t you want to try on dresses with your own family and friends? This bridezilla would invite particular women with her and I am guessing the second engaged lady would choose others, even if some were the same.

Re: Special Day
So sad… the bride would be nothing without the groom to marry. It should be a special day for BOTH of them. For my wedding I put an end to it quickly out of respect for my husband.

That and the “who gives this bride away” part. I’m my own individual, I am not property.

Coming from an Asian perspective…my wedding was about running around trying to make everybody ELSE happy (successfully =) I feel like if you’re going drag a couple hundred people to your hometown and they’re going to cough up ang pau (gift money) you owe them something, at least a good show and a good dinner.

I disagree. The note is understandable if they’re afraid that 6 girls in a tiny changing room stepping on each other’s feet is going to result in soiled or damaged gowns.

The bride is still bitchy.

Actually, it’s not the white gown which connotes virginity, but the wearing of a veil. This is a common misconception. Wedding gowns have been all colours, even in times and cultures where virginity was mandatory on the wedding night. Widows who re-married never wore veils for their second wedding.

It’s so that the sales people don’t waste their time helping people who aren’t actually in the market to buy a gown. Trying on wedding dresses is like permissible dress-up for adult women, so it’s tempting. I used to work in a dancewear store where we sold pointe shoes. We had to enstate a “fitting fee”, which would be waived if the customer bought a pair of shoes. Teenaged girls kept thinking it would be fun to come downtown for a coffee and try on pointe shoes. Fitting those shoes is very time-consuming, because different makes have different sizing scales, and they are expensive (much like wedding gowns). We couldn’t afford to have these girls waste our time and specialized knowledge for their own amusement.

Does the cross-dressing groom have to pay the extra $75?

Nope. I’m too young and too much of a douchebag. But I do really enjoy reading about the douchebaggy things other people do.

Scott is right. Oh, so right.
The groom is an ornament. His biggest job is his share of paying off the debt.

You still have your fingers on the strings, even now.
