As I have said, I absolutely loved the taffeta material. This photo shows the train to advantage! A Girl's Best Friend

It is the wedding of Norman Jeane and James (Jim) Dougherty in 1942. Norma Jeane was 16. I was drawn to her widow's peak; I had never known she had one! A Girl's Best Friend

She wore white, whereas royalty had previously usually worn silver when they married.  She carried orange blossoms and wore them in her hair.  And she had a large (300 pound) wedding cake.  Her marriage to Prince Albert was happy and they had nine children together.  She ruled until her death in 1901. This is WAAAAYYYY off topic of wedding dresses, but i was watching a show that was talking about Christmas traditions on TV last night and they credited the wide-spread tradition of the Christmas Tree to Queen Victoria mixing Prince Alberts German background with hers. Guess we have a lot of traditions to thank her for!

HollyGo-Lightly Rough Rock Total Posts: 76 Last Post: 1/24/2005 Member Since: 3/9/2004	What a fabulous thread!!! I bet Maria Schriver is cringing as we speak that she is posted here in that sad frock....but hey, it was the 80's and that explains Princess Di's hideous thing as well... I have to say i would lean toward the gowns of Grace Kelly, Courtney Cox, Letizia Ortiz, and Mary Donaldson. Even Jackie O has a classic gown that could honestly be fashionably worn today....bless her, she's such an icon! Anyone have pictures (or can find pictures) of Audrey hepburn's wedding? Obviously majorly interested... "Moon River, wider than a mile: I'm crossin' you in style someday. Oh dreammaker, you heartbreaker, Wherever you're goin', I'm goin'your way."

pearcrazy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,438 Last Post: 11/27/2008 Member Since: 5/16/2004	I loved Celine's dress but that headpiece completely overpowered it to the point that nobody was looking at the dress!! I read somewhere that her headpiece weighed in at almost 12 pounds!! Whoa, that's like trying to balance a bowling ball on your head.

MelissaSue Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,006 Last Post: 10/30/2006 Member Since: 7/12/2004	Does anyone else think that the MSN piece on wedding gowns was overly critical? For example.. they put Kevin Costner's wife as a "Low" and she AND her dress are GORGEOUS.. and the dress that Adam Sandler's wife was wearing is beautiful too.. and they are trying to claim it doesn't FIT her? I just don't understand. The celine dionne one I understand though. :)

honeynut Cut Rock Total Posts: 105 Last Post: 4/2/2005 Member Since: 10/21/2003	I checked out the MSN article and I am dying to see whta the author wore to their wedding, if they even had one. I do think Celine looked ridiculous in that hat thingy, and the dress is overdone but she is the queen of over-the-top. I DO believe that she truly loves her husband. There are no pics of her in the arabic wedding attire she wore for the 2nd ceremony. That is actually quite lovely, if equally lavish and flashy. Gwen Stefani was one of the most gorgeous brides I have ever seen, I LOVE her dress, I think it suits her perfectly. Adam Sandler and Kevin Costner's wives are both stunning. Jessica's dress is also very 'her'. People should learn to be happy that others, especially in Hollywood, are willing to take the plunge. Maybe I am just too happy in my own relationship to be bitter SPARKLY
