NUPTIALSVILLE — Ah, weddings. The cake, the dancing, the vows. The cake. Did I say cake twice? Sorry — it's almost lunchtime.

No small part of the marriage checklist is finding the perfect wedding dress. When I got married, I must've tried on a dozen or so dresses varying from ball gown style to mermaid fit, lace and chiffon, ivory and pearl until it was all one big, off-white blur.

This big, fancy dress you only wear once has to stay pristine through photos and meals. Wearing it makes one hyper aware of any stray dirt on a church sidewalk or lettuce just waiting to drip vinaigrette onto easily stained lace.

In a video posted to YouTube yesterday, a lovely bride is shown walking down the aisle on what may have been the biggest day of her life. There are yards of fabric trailing her, and apparently that was all too much for a young usher or ring bearer to handle, and he literally jumped on the opportunity to experience the feeling of bundles of ruffling taffeta under his shoes. He basically treated the bride like a pile of autumn leaves. Well, we hope this didn't ruin Mark and Tanya's big day. I think we can agree that it's OK for something to happen to the dress as long as the cake is unharmed.
