On the Almost Bride


The Eventually-Ending Story.

It's the relationship that nearly resulted in a proposal with champagne and  wildflowers, and eventually a Vera Wang wedding gown with sequence-laced rose petals to match the bright red Manolo Blahniks you've been eying since the early 90s.  The house, the children, the fantasies of growing old together laid out on the table for friends and family, and maybe even the neighbors to see, all of whom disguised their relentless concern with moderate delight as each milestone - anniversaries, eclipses, Presidents' birthdays - signified yet another 365 (+) days of a relationship doomed to fail.  As the Almost Bride, you wait until the perfect moment to confront your eventually-ending story of a life that could have been in exchange for the one that will actually be...someday.  Enjoy!
