According to the people selling the expensive ones, sure.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

The amazing thing is that they managed to make it go up from two to three months not that long ago.
Most other countries managed to get people married just fine without the marital industrial complex.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, my gosh, good. I'm all "Really? REALLY?! Holy crap, that's a lot of money."
Beause I think that that $6oo emerald is a lot of money, yet is perfect for what I would see as what I would want to wear daily.
I have NO desire for a diamond, zero. I like green!!
I would not wear a white gown, either. Totally something colored and cocktaily.
Oh, Jesus, I'm having wedding fantasies; apparently, I have just entered puberty.
