The DVD is well worth getting, especially since it maintains much of the qualities of the stage production, while including the benefits of perspectives and close-ups of film. The special features alone made the cost of the disks worth it for me.
Ah, Victoria… Named for the English Queen who (in 1840) was the first to wear a white wedding dress (to show off her wealth, in an era when white fabric was nearly impossible to clean, a dress clearly meant to be worn only once was the height of extravagance!) starting a trend among wealthy aristocrat brides, that wedding magazines would eventually force-feed into the trusting minds of non-1%er young ladies everywhere, somehow convincing us all that a $5000 dress you’ll only wear once is “tradition” rather than financial insanity, and the newly made-up suggestion that if you didn’t buy an absurdly overprice white dress like a princess, it was a signal to everyone else that you weren’t a virgin (gasp)! Most of these young women had moved to the big cities from the countryside, out of reach of their families, and vulnerable to “guidance” from popular magazines without Mom around to grab them by the ear and scream “that’s NOT a fucking real tradition, you ditz!”
Well… thanks to the duplicity of the Wedding Industry… I’m afraid it’s a tradition now (self-destructive or not).
Meh, not just the dress, the whole wedding is financial insanity to me.
Only seen two sensible actions on the subject. A work colleague told both his daughters that he would not pay one penny towards a wedding if they married their boyfriends. Instead they could have a five figure contribution towards a house deposit. Seems a far more sensible investment.
The other was my mum’s wedding. I’m guessing it was to make the wills simpler, as she had been living with her husband for thirty years at that point, and the registrar said it was the highest combined age for a bride and groom she had officiated at, 150 years. I was one witness, a friend that they had both taught at school was the other, the four of us went to a nice pub for lunch afterwards. Nothing more needed.
