In Vogue: Wedding Gown with Detachable Wedding Train

The image of a bride walking down the aisle is somehow not complete without a long wedding gown train trailing behind her.

However, a long wedding train may not really be appropriate if you will have an outdoor wedding reception where your pristine wedding gown will be susceptible to grass and even mud stains. A long wedding train also limits the bride's movement to freely mingle with her wedding guests and may look out of place in an informal wedding program.

How to have the best of both worlds? Popular bridal gown designer Edward Teng suggests a wedding gown with a detachable wedding train.

Wedding couturier Edward Teng shares, "very much in vogue, this fashionable yet sensible wedding gown idea allows brides to have the romance of formal wedding gowns and the practicality and modernity once the wedding train is detached."

You may put the wedding train for your walk down the aisle or for your wedding photo shoots, then remove it for an outdoor wedding reception or when the party starts.

Best of all, without the wedding train, you can actually reuse your wedding gown for other formal functions or engagements. Just add embellishments or accessories and you can transform your wedding gown into another fashionable formal attire.

Wedding Bells for Vicki Belo

The would-be bride was just as surprised as all of us when news came out that Hayden proposed last December in the Downtown Aquarium in Texas.

Shown in an episode of “Rated K” in ABS-CBN, Hayden Kho proposed to Vicki Belo by asking two divers in the large aquarium to hold cards that said, “Hayden loves Vicki.”

“May nagdive sa aquarium na malaki. Sabi naman nito (Hayden), silipin natin kung sino yung nag-dive. Tapos, tumingin ako, ang sabi ‘Welcome to Downtown Aquarium.’ Ang cute. Tapos, next tile, ‘Hayden loves Vicki,’” Vicki said. 

Though the proposal was done months ago, it was only announced in July because of the many controversies and issues that have come their way throughout their relationship. The public has also been scrutinizing the couple because of their age gap, the opposition of Vicki’s children, and the video scandal involving Hayden and other female celebrities.

“Kase gusto namin to enjoy it privately kase alam namin na ganito nga ang mangyayari pag sinabi namin, ang daming batikos. Daming nagsasabi na hindi magwu-work,’ Vicki said in the “Rated K” interview.

Being truthful about the topic, Hayden said that there are people who are for and against the engagement. Their friends, on the other hand, showed support by sharing how Vicki and Hayden loved each other.

The exact date of their wedding is yet to be announced. They already have a wedding month in mind but they do not want to mention it to the public yet.
She shared though that it is possible that she will choose Monique Lhuiller to make her wedding dress.

To remove the risk of looking like being after Vicki’s money, Hayden asked for a pre-nuptial agreement to separate their own properties.

With everything that has happened in their relationship, Vicki said that the changed Hayden has made it worth enduring. “Sabi ko nga sa kanya, if I have to go through all that para lang maging ganito ka na, medyo worth it na rin, di ba? Kase nga sobrang naging mature, sobrang nagchange,” Vicki said.

Serendipitous Wedding Date

Ericka Randall and Patrick Evans officially began dating on 06-07-08. This year they are getting married on 09-10-11.

In New Jersey on the day of her birthday, massage therapist Ericka Randall was in a bad mood. She was turning 30 and her friends forgot her birthday. In a music social networking site, she met Patrick Evans. Without a photo posted and with no information about Patrick, she started ranting to him about her disappointment. The kind stranger volunteered to make it up to her by throwing her a birthday party. The day of her birthday party was the day they officially started dating.

One year later, Evans surprised Randall with a wedding proposal on New Year’s Eve in the year 2009. Randall said yes, wedding plans followed, and the serendipitous wedding date they got was 09-10-11.

Playing with the numbers again, Randall thinks of surprising her husband on their wedding day - she plans to send him a gift at exactly 12:13 pm.  Will it add magic to their union? Well, it's the number, er the thought, that counts :)
