The Bride Revealed illuminates and celebrates all these aspects of the bridal mystique in striking black-and-white photographs and quotes from contemporary brides.
"With both a push-up bra and a body shaper, I was wrapped up tighter than a bull"s ass at fly time," is one woman"s irreverent observation. Another remembers her brother"s poignant advice to take it slow. "Make sure you look at everybody. And let them look at you. When will you ever gather so many people who love you so much? It can go by so fast."
