Wedding gowns used to be ‘virginal’ styles. Strapless does not fit that theme. They look more night clubby or sundress style.
When that started to happen I was in a state of shock.. weddings were no longer a celebration of the wedding..but a huge party with people having a "stage" to show off on" ..planned and choreographed dances by Husband and wife or mother and son or the bridesmaids.. even dancing down the isle of a church .. its all one big show.. sometimes the kids of the couple..or kids from other relationships dance and walk down the isle too...
THEN someone pointed out that most couple getting married have been living together for years so this is really nothing more than a big party given for their friends
