Over the past year I have begun to experience my first ‘bridal wave:’ a full force of female friends making their transition into matrimony and marital bliss. From what I have witnessed, the current bridal trend seems to be a romantic engagement followed by an all out stampede of wedding planning. The overwhelming amount of bridal magazines and websites can attest to the obsessive nature that wedding planning has taken on. Every bridal magazine cover shows an alluring, confident, slim and sexy bride adorned in a designer gown, flowers in hand, yet void of any spouse. The message is clear. This life-altering event isn’t about the marriage; it is about the bride, and more importantly, the dress.
