Power Vows


In the current issue of Vogue is a 10 page (TEN PAGE!) spread featuring the wedding of Lauren Davis and Andres Santo Domingo---- i.e. the jet set baby! The article begins with their first kiss atop the Eiffel Tower and to the wedding at the Casa Conde de Pestagua---- Cartagena. The bride wore Ricci and her mother wore Herrera--- a horse drawn carriage took Lauren and her father to the church for their vows. What follows in the shiny pages of Vogue is a beautiful bride and a handsome groom and a wedding that encompasses T.H.E. destination wedding. The quote that ends the article is "I don't know what anyone could do to top Lauren and Andres's wedding-- except get married on the moon". Sigh. 500 guests folks, half a thousand and they start with cocktails under trees, mango trees to be precise.

Your father might not have helped build the Poland Springs water brand and your education might not have been quite so private shishi----- and perhaps your dress does not look like the estimated $200,000 gown of 120 meters of gauze and another 120 meters of silk tulle----- but the wedding is lots of fun to read about.

From there to guilty pleasure I ask-------------------- so have you SEEN "My Big Fat Redneck Wedding??????????" Oh my. No Baru Beach luncheons there.
