My daughter's wedding dress was priceless...
Her sister hand made it, even down to sewing on the tiny seed pearls on the bodice. She also designed and sewed her own maid of honor dress and the dresses of the two other bridesmaids.
Melania will never know such happiness as I had on the day my daughter married 28 years ago. It was a garden wedding and the men wore summer dinner jackets. I hired a string quartet and helped my daughter chose pieces of music which included Bach's "Sheep may Safely Graze."
My guess is that Melania's wedding did not include such real human emotions.

(24,259 posts)That over priced scrunch-a-bunch of a dress and veil were not at all the sophisticated sleek and sparkly creation that I envisioned her wearing. I wonder if tacky Trump chose it for her?

(30,540 posts)it wasn't rhinestones but real diamonds. I've heard Trump has real diamonds imbedded in some of his doors in Trump Tower, I'm sure he would do the same for Melania's dress.

I went to a nice ladies' store with my mother and she bought me a fashionable cocktail length dress of lace over top of satin. My mom was a widow on a fixed income when I got married, and my husband had been divorced, and I was 30 years old, plus my family is very small. I didn't want big and fancy. I hate being the center of attention. I told my sister, who was my maid of honor, to just pick out a nice dress to her liking. After our small wedding, we went out to dinner at a country club restaurant with our entire group in attendance - 12 people. For me, it was perfect.
I have a feeling there was plenty of lawyer meetings between Mel and Donnie before they tied the knot.

(no, not really!)
*on edit--since my brother and I had a double wedding, and his bride wanted to wear a fancy white bridal gown, my wife, ever the cost-conscious farm girl, chose a simple brown dress she saw somewhere and liked. Of course, she looked so spectacular all by herself that she could have worn used brown tennis shorts and a potato sack over it and still stolen the show:
