A few days ago, I heard of something called "dress" cafes, the most popular being a chain of its kind called "Princess Diary Cafe." At these cafes, you have to pay for a drink (usually a coffee that is about $6) and a wedding dress rental ($5-$20). There are really girlie couches, divans, tables, and seats, plus professional lighting and props (veils, flowers, stuffed animals, hats, fans, crowns, etc). You get an hour in the dresses and you just take pictures of each other. This seemed so ridiculous and amusing that Dean, Andrea, and I checked it out last night. And...WOW. It was so much fun! We got our coffee and watched some other ladies posing and taking pictures with the giant teddy bears and pink bouquets. Then, we were taken behind the curtain and shown the dresses. There was a fairly large selection. The ladies then help you change and then fasten the dress really tightly to your body with pins in the back, since they get larger dresses to ensure that everyone will be able to wear them. We were given enormous platform shoes to wear, and I was also give a big hoop skirt for under my dress. The final touches were little tiaras, and then we were camera ready.
Needless to say, Dean found the whole thing extremely amusing and we saw him shaking his head with a small smile multiple times. But we had such a good time that we're planning on bringing the rest of the CUA girls plus our friend, Aerim, back soon.
