How did the newspaper find out how much a woman paid for her dress? Are they spying on people?
LOL consider the source.
My wife’s Mother and Grandmother made her wedding dress. My Daughter got married by a justice of the peace, nearly 20 years ago in street clothes.
My Granddaughter now has Her Grandmother’s wedding dress.
Old joke:
Q: Why should you never marry a woman you meet at a laundromat?
A: Because any woman who can't afford a washing machine can't afford to support you either.
The dress is nice, but the bride appears to have a black eye in several photos.
So what? My wife bought her dress second hand 33 years ago. Just went to a wedding the other day where the bride wore a second hand dress.
Neither felt compelled to contact the media.
May just be the smoky eye. The dress is hideous and looks like something that may have bedbugs.

If you can't be happy with inexpensive things you'll never be happy with all the expensive stuff.

So then, two brides, total dress cost £70? Could get expensive in the long run.
She has a nice figure. That makes all the difference the world!
That's the first thing that crossed my mind. The guy marrying her is lucky.
Sweet story.
My mother and father met outside the train station in DC in 1944. She arrived that day for a job in DC, he arrived that day also, waiting for his convoy to Europe to be assembled. Love at first sight. They saw each other every day until his convoy left. He told her before he left that he would return and marry her, she went back to her dormatory and snickered with her girl friends about it. But they wrote often during the war. (we still have all the letters he sent her, I’ve never read them. Dad is 93, but out of respect I would never pry into that.)
On his way home from the War (Belgium, Germany and CZ) he had my grandfather send her money for the train trip to Texas. Late in the evening she arrived in Texas (train was late) they were married (pastor had been waiting for them.) in my grandparents home, on what is now referred to as the “home place” (one of a number of farms). They were married 66 years (she died 7 years ago). Have no idea what mom’s dress looked like. It was not important. She was a beautiful person (in all aspects).
My wife and I were married 47 years, she died in my arms last year. Heart failure.
I’m engaged to be married again. We are planning the wedding on the farm that my parents were married on. I’ve owned the house there for a number of years, am doing some necessary updates on it now. Will sell the home in town (4 miles from the 70 year old farm house). My family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889.
My fiancee has not picked out her dress yet, but she said it would be blue. And that we would both be wearing matching boots. Smile.
Looks fine to me! Not everyone is wealthy and can afford what someone else here called “slut dresses”. When I see people have these weddings based on “the party”, I know it is not going to end well.
Hope they’re married for life!

The invitation included a picture of their original wedding photo. The wife was gorgeous and my buddy was a handsome looking stud....back then. Now, not so much.....LOL!
Oh, I forgot important part.
The wedding will be outdoors and the bar-b-que will be served afterwards. She and I share the kitchen and the grill. smile.
We have what is call the “meat house” on the farm. We make smoked link beef sausage and smoked brisket. The meat house has commercial Hobart butcher equipment and a walk-in box. Many of our fiends have used it to process wild game. (we don’t do it commercially)
Basically, a pound is about a $1.25, so without doing all the math, think around 35 bucks.
