Everybody's got their hot little hands in the wedding biz, even Costco! Searching for florists, we stumbled across the discount retail chain's wedding bouquet/arrangement selection (they're big on sunflowers though; pet peeve of mine*). You can even buy your wedding bands and book your honeymoon through them. Five-night "Body Holiday" in St. Lucia for $1,785, anyone? That's per person, of course. They do throw in a bottle of--unnamed--wine...
This made me curious. Lo and behold, Walmart also has an online wedding section, where they shill everything from "personalized wedding unity candle holders" to $1,500 engagement rings. And, on a cooler note, Target sells Isaac Mizrahi wedding gowns, with the most expensive one coming in at $79.99. Though of the cheapest one reviewer had to say:
AWFUL!

The top of this dress was contructed poorly and did not match the representation in the photo. It appeared cheap and felt flimsy. My sister told me that the top looked like my mother's tablecloth! I was terribly disappointed with the shell and skirt and returned it the same day that I received it. The only positive is that the fit was true to size.
Girl. This gown costs 50 bucks. If you do some deep soul searching: what were you expecting?
*most overrated flower. As the dolphin is the most overrated animal (apologies to everyone who thinks they're the most precious and intelligent creature in the high seas...).
your hatred of dolphins doesn't stop to delight me!
ReplyDeleteyet she loves the flip side of that same coin: she is an immense lover of unicorns.
ReplyDeletethough i think she'd love sunflowers if she was in a kansas field looking at sunflowers, taller than she, as far as the eye can see. that is beautiful, even in its lee-greenwood-america kinda way.
Unicorns rule. Let's not kid ourselves. They're not even in the same universe as dolphins. Though they sometimes appear on Trapper Keepers together.
