Snow Bride

By Ellen Lewis

Once,  when I was quite young, I attended a winter wedding of friends whose financial situation allowed for an extravaganza that was way over the top.  Actually, my parents attended too and though I was floored by the obvious expense and what appeared to be waste, my dad explained to me that these events created many jobs and I should just have fun.  Nonetheless, I thought to myself that if I were married in a northern winter, I would do it quite differently.  Somehow, the relentless snowstorms that have besieged the northeast this season, got me remembering.  I love simplicity, but quality must always reign supreme. So here is my winter nuptial fantasy including the exquisite French Lou Lingerie which somehow reminds me of the erotic  beauty of a snow when it is still falling.
