Why do some women want MASSIVE dresses and veils at their weddings?

Yep....disgusting

Blame Disney. They all want to be Cinderella for a day!

I wouldn't begrudge a woman her princess fairytale dress, if the marriage itself actually lasted.

I thought you were being too critical based on the photo in your post but when you go to the website you can really see how ridiculous that veil truly is.

It's called a cathedral veil, but it would only be appropriate to the scale of a cathedral.

It appears to be the length of a fucking football field, at least.

The Bidens are wealthy and can afford it. There’s something weird about the bride being dressed up so elaborately in white, as a virgin, like that.

The problem is when middle class people blow their wad, trying to have a wedding like that. They should save their money for land and a house.

Why not?

Who gives a shit? I will take her look anyway over some of the whore-like bridal garments we are seeing. She looks elegant.

First, OP why do you care? It's not your wedding, nor are you wearing the dress or veil.

Two, as someone mentioned it's a cathedral length veil which even when not marrying in such a church many brides prefer in lieu of a train.

After wedding is over and pictures taken veil can be taken off and that's that. OTOH unless you're someone like Lady Diana newly married to Prince of Wales coping with all that fabric training behind you for several hours gets tiresome.

Naomi Biden's dress had more of a full ballgown shape. Such skirts aren't conducive to long trains. For one thing the extra fabric throws weight of skirts off.

Why should any of the stuff posted on Datalounge be anyone's business, except for directly political stuff?

This is a gossip board (as you well know, and which is why you came here in the first place), and so we will all discuss whatever we like. if you don't like that, then [bold]FUCK OFF, YOU HYPOCRITICAL CUNT.[/bold]

Designers of Diana Spencer's wedding gown solved train issue with a tried and true solution; train is suspended from waist as a separate part of gown.

Actually a new category has emerged to for very long trains on wedding gowns: "royal". Presumably because nowadays no one but royalty, the aristocracy, and select others bother.

I don’t know why. Why would anyone here know or care?

She got married at the White House, which is a very large elegant mansion, and the residence of the head of state of the most powerful country in the world. She can have a football field long veil if she damn well pleases.

Good thing she didn't "do a Madonna" on those stairs. Would have killed her.

My husbear is SASA and he insisted that I wear a dress to our wedding. I am a chubby strict bottom and I didn’t mind. Even wore high heels, which excited my masc hubby to no end!

OP photo reminded me of this image.

OP just wanted to bash the Bidens.

Go back to your Marjorie Taylor Greene rally

What r4 said. I was ready to pooh-pooh the OP. Then I saw the veil.

Queen Elizabeth's wedding dress started the trend in the 1940s

I guess the long veil isn't as bad as the long train.

Am a femcel more or less, but to my hypothetical never-gonna-happen wedding I'd not be seen dead in a veil & train. There's a good chance I wouldn't even wear a dress.

Naomi's football stadium length train was almost as distracting as her 1980's style heavy eyebrows.

Except OP/R11 your post as worded isn't gossip, but ranting bordering on diatribe.

Breeder Weddings…..waste of money. Most end in divorce and some crotch droppings. Tragic for all that silliness…. Bachelorette parties, rings, tossing the bouquet, pix, gifts, the first dance…..show us the video of the wedding night and I MIGHT be interested.

I don't even notice the dress - just those huge caterpillar eyebrows.

Because it's thinning and flattering.

Very 1970s style dress.

Beautiful Naomi Biden...

I bet OP pulled a big train on his wedding day.

I can't find a single picture of Hunter- was he there?

Did the dykey cousin wear a suit?

What an ugly wedding dress.

Nervousness in the weeks before your big day leads to weight loss. Substantial weight is shed, even in the days before. How many times can you go back to have the gown refit on you? Can you do that last minute? It isn't just nerves, brides-to-be are BUSY, too busy to eat as much as usual. Some women want to and try to lose weight before the wedding, so the dress fits better, but too much comes off, unexpectedly. Time runs out to get one last fitting. So, now you know.

Her wedding and she doesn't eat, shit, or sleep on your fat, droopy face, OP. Not sure why you have to be so bitter and resentful about the veil. Some untreated childhood trauma resurfacing after life full of didappointment and failures?

At least it's not another strapless with flabby arms

She looks like Kamala Harris' step-daughter, the "model".

R30: Beautiful is not a word I would use to describe her.

Oh honey. Projection much?

I love the dress and I don’t care if her veil goes all the way to Mexico. I am always happy to see a wedding dress that’s not sleeveless or mermaid cut.

R39 - no, it's an analysis. It must have hit you too close to home.

So glad the trend of sleeveless wedding dresses are OUT. Even among the whorish types.
