A friend of mine owns a wedding gown shop, and I assist brides trying on gowns during the busy time of year. The designers of current wedding gown styles do not offer many options in gowns other than strapless, halter which is backless or spaghetti straps which are also backless. I find it sad that the choices are so limited. I have scoured catalogs searching for other options and they are few and far between. To me it appears that it is about the cost and how much revenue they can generate from a gown for the least amount of labor and fabric cost. As well as keeping the cost of tailoring a gown to a minimum by how it is designed.
Erm, I think those are the bridesmaids. Bridesmaids typically wear the dress that the bride picks out… so if the bride picked out a strapless, all the maids would wear the same thing.
Most of them are wearing strapless, 1 had a one shoulder strap that is being concealed by another girl’s shoulder and 1 had a neck strap that is being concealed by another girl’s head.
The receiving line will be…interesting. BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, MAID OF HONOR, BRIDE…cold shower………………………………mom & dad……
You know that old hint about talking or reading in front of a group….well…that lector has got one heck of an imagination! Personally, I’d have trouble concentrating on Scripture.

Not only is it affordable, but it’s something they’ll be able to wear again!
I sing at weddings and sadly call them the “Swimsuit Masees” as the bridal party and many of the guests look like they are ready for the beach.
What are the odds that they ALL wore the same thing?
Erm, I think those are the bridesmaids. Bridesmaids typically wear the dress that the bride picks out… so if the bride picked out a strapless, all the maids would wear the same thing.
For some reason, the altar boys refused to stand for the entire Mass.
FYI, in case you were wondering, this is St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, Bensalem, PA.
Your comment is funnier than the picture itself!! LOL!
PS… the picture is funny too; but it looked too staged for me to say “awkward”.
Who said catholics aren’t progressive?
OK… not only is the photo one of the best, but it really inspires the best comments ever!!! Really funny!!
My wife has the same outfit.
Now, if only the bride’s name just happened to be Eve, this would be truly perfect.
“OK,thanks for waiting. Those holding tickets for sauna number 7,it is now available,please make your way there now.”
The groom’s side was likewise revealing. He wanted everyone to know who the man really was.
Don’t you mean the BEST man?
So were the bridesmaids’ dresses flesh coloured?
This is probably the one time bridesmaids didn’t object to paying for their own dresses.
They just want to make sure they all get extra baptized by skinny dipping in the Baptismal Pool.
In these tough economic times, people are continually looking for new ways to cut costs on their weddings.
Come in for Salvation…Stay for the floor show!
LMAO….my thoughts exactly
“We’re here for the bridal shower.”
WIN!!!!!
*snicker*
Thank you Valerie, your humor made me LOL for the first time today
*ZING!!*
Since no one else has stated the obvious, help me here. I hate to kill the mood, but these gals are simply wearing strapless gowns. Right?
Not to worry, Pastor! They are all just in strapless gowns and the pews come higher than the dresses! (Whew! That’s a relief, eh?)
Most of them are wearing strapless, 1 had a one shoulder strap that is being concealed by another girl’s shoulder and 1 had a neck strap that is being concealed by another girl’s head.
Hence, the title of the picture.
Either that or it will be a very chilly reception.
I dunno. The groomsmen might be warming up to that….
Don’t you mean “nippy”? Or, to quote Clark Griswold, “nipply.”
The receiving line will be…interesting. BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, BRIDESMAID, MAID OF HONOR, BRIDE…cold shower………………………………mom & dad……
Tattoos are clearly an optional accessory!
All rise, and turn around……….
Hahaha!

Topless church… That’s one way to bring in the sinners.
or create them…nudge, nudge, wink, wink…
WIN!
The wedding looks like it’s taking place at Our Lady of St. Nudist.
Bahahahaha!
I was thinking “Our Lady of Godiva”
