There are pictures of the 2nd dress in the People spread. It's lovely

I have looked 12 times and I cannot find it..I'm stupid.

I think in the magazine?

I couldn’t find it in the link above either.

 

[Sparks]

My mistake. It's the same dress. Sorry, my eyes are bad

I'm the stupid one

I'm the stupid one

We're tired.

Hey, it happens to all of us. I had to look a bit more closely at the wedding dance photo to make sure it was the same as the ceremony dress - the veil gives it a different look.

Oh, and that veil? Just exquisite!

Of those I've seen, this is my favorite photo from the Madi/Evan wedding:

Fun dress - shiny and drapes well. I imagine the fabric is something amazing!

Chock could wear a tablecloth from the dollar store and make it look great.

The photo of them doing (I assume) their first dance as a married couple is really beautiful too.

Yes, she could, but I have to say Evan looks very nice in his tux. He gets overshadowed by her, but he's a nice looking man. I wish them every happiness.

That veil is superb. No notes. The bouquet is also stunning.

I think the detailing on the dress is competing just slightly too much with the veil, but she of course looks beautiful. And a beautiful setting as well. Congrats to them!

I saw the photo with the veil draped over them, and was horrified because it looked to me like they both got white hand tattoos or something. Thank goodness it was only the decorations on the veil

There's a tiny part of me that wonders how on earth these folks afford such fancy weddings. . . Super gorgeous with Madison & Evan.

^ Chock/Bates should have sponsorship deals, shouldn't they?

I was surprised when Piper Gilles announced she and her hubby were having a second wedding, given how recent the first wedding was. My first thought was, why? My second was "my gawd, the expense!"

Piper really seems to be enjoying all the second wedding preparations. I'm glad. I want her to get her money's worth!

I think her first wedding was just immediate family in some sort of outdoor area, so probably pretty cheap as weddings go. This will be their 'real' wedding.

They sold their wedding photos and story to People magazine.

Ashley Wagner basically did the same thing though that was also so she could get on her husbands insurance before the baby was born. They're having the proper big wedding this summer sometime too.

There's a tiny part of me that wonders why on earth they would want to. Looks like a lot of work and stress and expense. But if they can afford it and it's what they want, more power to 'em. And the pictures and videos of everyone all dressed up and celebrating are fun.

Jinx!

 

[overedge]

I think part of it is also the wedding-industrial complex that tells every couple, it's not a REAL wedding unless it's big and elaborate.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Jinx!

Do you have the same post-lunch social media scroll tradition?

 

[Wyliefan]

More like a scrolling-whenever-I-get-a-spare-moment tradition.
