Beware of Disney brides!
The Walt Disney Co. has partnered with a designer to create wedding dresses inspired by their animated princesses. No doubt bridezillas across the land rejoiced at the news that they can now don full Cinderella garb on their big day.
I'm wary (as I think most men are) of women who think of themselves as princesses to be doted upon, and this seems to be a disturbing extension of the idea. Don't get me wrong, I treat women with respect and kindness. But my philosophy about catering to someone's every whim has always been, "the day I get a dowry is the day you become a princess."
No, you marry ol' Mr. Sidor and you become an equal partner in all his future triumphs and disappointments - no less, no more. So let's just keep things real, as my homies like to say, and make the wedding about a union, and not the glorification of your pre-adolescent dreams.
After all, if you were a princess, you wouldn't be marrying Bill from accounting.
