When you cast it all aside, the Big Day is only big because of the people who made it so. The dress is rife with importance because of what it speaks to, the ring a symbol of what you have. It trickles down, in that manner. Which is why we're speaking to matters of great and perhaps, dare we say primal importance. The final layer or article of clothing is a dance in the same vein. When we undress down to our very innermost layer, it is the last barrier between our skin and theirs. Lingerie is an artform, and an aspect of womanhood lies in knowing how to apply it to every occasion, for our pleasure.
I remembered the first time I watched an episode of Desperate Housewives when I was 12, and buttoned-up Bree Vanderpump had ripped off her blouse, exposing a three-piece bra and garter set as flaming red as her locks (and my cheeks). Make no mistake, I was not mortified, cringing in shame, or even agape in my Christian shock. I was in awe of the power she held. I could not believe the transformation before me, how the softness of her body curved in awareness of the lines of boning that held her in place. She was a married woman, but she was also a beacon of feminine power.
To that regard, I cannot place more importance when matters of intimate wear and the bridal occasion collide. There are so many ways to go about the rite: Do you fancy a lace silk teddy in ivory, for the traditional minded? Is your mind on comfort, at the deluge-end of a likely exhausting day? Or are you an unconventional bride - after sculpture and form?
