When you're too poor to afford a whole wedding dress

Everyone attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice will receive a Amazon grab bag.

She will not age well with all those chemicals in her body. Talk about a plastic fake woman!

The picture of her I saw yesterday with the clinched waist dress was freaky!

her boobs will still look like they do now. No sagging, no decomposition.

...I told them that if they saw a woman lying down doing bench presses and her nipples were still pointing right at the ceiling, she probably had fake boobs, because the real ones slide to the side when you lie down.

I thought it was important that they be able to tell the difference -

Every person invited to the wedding is undoubtedly wealthy. A $25 grab bag seems really, really cheap. What could be in it?

How tacky; how cheap-looking; how gauche. Does anyone on this earth think that is classy?

Why would anyone in the world want their bride to look so cheap? And plastic?

What passes for beautiful these days totally bewilders me. Look at the Trump women. What happened to men's love of "natural beauty"? Why so artificial and fake everything?

I assume they didn't get married in church. You can't even wear shorts in the Vatican; I can't see any Italian church being okay with that dress with everything hanging out.

June is truly busting out all over.

I can only hope it's not that tacky, but these days, who knows?

You know, back in the day, people did not have the huge wedding celebrations for the second, third, fourth and fifth times. The brides certainly didn't wear the white wedding gown on their fourth trip down the aisle (yes, I'm referring to you, JLo). They would wear a nice suit and have a small gathering of family and close friends. In other words, tasteful and classy. Lauren Bacall wore a simple suit to her wedding to Bogey; even though it was her first marriage, it was his fourth. Now it's the whole shebang, costing millions of dollars and for what? An ostentatious show of how much money you have and to show off how many famous people you know.

who are starting out in life with an empty apartment. When people get married later on in life it still has social importance but I think smaller and tasteful are the right idea.

They just released a photo tonight and she had a very modest dress. But she does show off her figure so its not out of character.
