What precisely can be a better way of celebrating the Sacrament of marriage than having your to-be-wife dressed up as a crack whore, except without the dignity? Tito:

Now, come on.

Apparently designers assume that all brides want to look "sexy," which creates problems for those who want to show proper reverence in church. One way to get around this problem is to shop at a store or website that sells Quinceanera dresses (for Hispanic girls celebrating their 15th birthdays). The online stores carry all sizes (up to size 28!), most styles are available in white or off-white, and most come with matching jackets or shawls to solve the problem of dressing modestly in church. There are also stores and websites that cater to Mormon brides who need modest dresses for their temple weddings. I don't think there's any law against non-Mormons shopping there :-) Another issue I’ve seen discussed in other forums is the difficulty of finding MODEST wedding dresses that aren’t strapless or cut extremely low in front or back.

Most of the folks I know who aren't getting married near a parent's home do get married at a different place than the one they live-- so that people can actually make it to the celebration. Silly, superficial things like "airports" and "hotels" come into play, though occasionally "the church is breathtakingly gorgeous" or "my grandparents were married in that church" will influence such a desire. Oh, and when you accuse a lady of routinely sleeping with whoever they're dating, you're calling them a slut. First block-quote in, second line. I must say, I didn't know that we had so many mind readers around! To know that Mary is a shallow, materialistic person who knows nothing of her faith from <I>a single line</i>? And to know the only thing she'll respond to, from a two-line note, is to be publicly mocked and accused of multiple violations of binding Catholic teachings? So, where's the "funny" and "effective" accusation against the lady of having had a couple of abortions?
