Here Come the Brides

Everybody loves weddings — or they should! For the typical woman, her wedding dress will probably be the only couture gown that she ever owns. And don’t be fooled by his practicality and cynicism toward fluffy wedding acoutrements. Guys really do love to see their only honey walk toward them in that dress! And think of the music, the dancing, the food — the chance to express your personality in a day of romance and fun!

Have you gotten married recently? Silk City wants to hear from you. Celebrating an anniversary? Same thing. Show us the dress, show us the cake, show us the matching tatoos that you got from that night of boilermakers on your honeymoon. Whatever. Let’s see it.

You can email pictures of your big day to: retailreits@yahoo.com

Cascya Charlot and Thomas Ludwig recently got married on a former plantation in the Virgin Islands. Way to reclaim the soil, sister girl!

Cassandra and Garrick

Her dad is a retired mechanic and her mom is a retired nurse. I could plunder the many metaphors that apply here, such as keeping a marriage healthy and making sure things run smoothly. But I won’t get corny. Have a happily ever after guys!

Margaret & Christopher

Let me just say that anyone who tries to bad-mouth the love connection between these two had better be prepared to tangle with the NYPD! And what they do with those cuffs in their cherished time together in the privacy of their home is their own bid-ness. Best wishes, Maggie & Chris.

Sabrina & Jamie

Overachieving couples like this sometimes make me want to take a refresher course in something. The trouble is I can never decide what to study! I’ll say this about Sabrina, she’s one smart cookie: she married a writer who happens to have a lucrative day job as a safety net. Have a wonderful life, guys!

Tracey & Christopher

When I sat down with the Style section of The New York Times on Sunday morning, I read part of this announcement out loud over a breakfast bagel with Hubby and my father-in-law sitting nearby. (The in-laws were in town for Baby’s christening. Wait until you see the dress!) These two are practically New York City nobility, for goodness sake. How much more connected can you get, being the daughter of a man who runs a development corporation and former commissioner for the mayor? With connections like those, they are sure to crop up in other parts of the newspaper down the line. At any rate, bon chance, dears!

Lisa & Roger

Lisa & RogerI love outdoor weddings. That’s how I got married. In this couple’s case, they did their nuptials on a farm. He’s a doctor, specializing in medical research and she is an artist. It almost seems like a very ying-yang, left-brain right-brain pairing to me, so that should make life interesting. If they ever come to an impasse arguing over this or that, I say they should call a time out and review photos from their wedding on a farm, which I’m sure was beautiful. That should set things right again. Congratulations Lisa and Roger!

Danielle & Parminder

While scanning the nuptials pages this morning, I almost blew past Danielle and Parminder, because they looked like a wholly Indian couple, at first glance. But I took a second look at Danielle’s pretty smile and distinctive nose and read further. With a surname like Jackson, and credentials from Spelman and Morehouse colleges, she had to be black, right? This is cool, as it gives a much broader meaning to the term ’sister’. With her smile, and their combined credentials, these two are sure to give the world beautiful kids, and a few scientific breakthroughs on the side! Have a beautiful and happy life, guys. Danielle & Parminder
