My Daughter's 10 Favorite Wedding Dresses


If I were to get married again, I would be late to the ceremony, just like I am today for Monday Listicles.  

I took the weekend off from blogging every day and yesterday my kids were off from school for Rosh Hashanah, which meant no time to write. 

Well, that is not true.  I chose not to write.

Today, Tuesday, I chose to write for this week's Monday’s Listicles' theme, Weddings.

I am divorced, so I have mixed feelings about weddings.  A wedding means marriage.  Mine failed.  Therefore, other than the pretty dresses and the party, I am somewhat unenthusiastic about the notion of a ritual designed to break a big hole in the savings account with little left over to wager on whether or not it will last forever.

Antonia and I were jealous!
Notice I mentioned I like the pretty dresses.  My younger daughter, Antonia, does, too.  There was a time when we could be found cuddled next to each other on the couch watching episode after episode of SayYes to the Dress streaming from Netflix through the Wii.  We have since then watched every episode and watched with envy from afar as her older sister got to visit Kleinfeld's with her dad last year in New York City.

Because we have seen every episode of Say Yes to the Dress, Antonia and I have moved onto watching David Tutera’s, My Fair Wedding.  Our favorite part of the show is, of course, when the bride-to-be tries on fabulous dresses to replace the dress Tutera cannot possibly seem to tolerate.  We attempt to guess which dress Tutera will choose, which is not revealed until the day of the wedding (aka the end of the show), and we are usually right.

Yesterday while I was grumbling about needing to write, I asked Antonia to make a list of her 10 favorite wedding dresses.  She carefully chose the following 10 from the 45 she has proudly curated on her Pinterest board, Wedding Dresses.

It is safe to say that Antonia has exquisite taste in wedding gowns.  She also has an eye for gorgeous cakes which she is curating photos of here: Cakes!

[Thank you, Antonia, for your contribution to today's post.  I promise to adjust my attitude about marriage if you ever find yourself shopping at Kleinfeld's.]  


The best way to spend Monday in the blogosphere!
