I add my voice to those of others. Sadly, one of the worst dressed persons at the wedding was the bride herself. The top part of the gown resembles an everyday blouse (with a collar and impossibly wide lapels) that one might wear informally with pants on the street. The skirt is reminiscent of late 19th-century gowns - a bit too full at the hips to be flattering for the bride, but, most of all, completely incongruous with the style of the top. This is not one of those gowns that successfully adds a modern twist to an old classic. It is a sad mess.
If this wedding were taking place in the olden days of monarchic rule, the designer of this dress should have been hanged for treason. But just one look at how Wolfgang Joop chose to present himself for this wedding, and we can see what sort of person he is... more interested in calling attention to himself than in highlighting the bride. Ugh. There is poetic justice, however, in the fact that Joop, himself, looked ridiculous. Not a shred of elegance... more like a clown.
Nevertheless, the bride managed to look beautiful in spite of the disastrous gown. Her makeup and hair were lovely, and the veil was also beautiful. Most of all, the sheer joy of the newlyweds and the fact that they so evidently have a meaningful relationship made this a wonderful event to witness. In the end, nothing else matters! A toast to the bride and groom... may they have a long and happy life together.
