I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.
My wedding was at home so I didn't really want to wear a veil in my house....
Those are the men who will dance at your wedding.
It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.
