Ask Amy: Cinderella’s gown creates a friendship fracas
In a world beset by challenges, conflict, and dreams deferred, I’m actually happy to report that … this sort of “fairytale” wedding is a thing!
The Cinderella dream is alive, well, and available – for a price – in Anaheim, California (and other locations).
In terms of your question, it’s a true fact that – even though Cinderella had a fairy godmother who did her dress shopping for her – any bride or groom has the right to include anyone they want when shopping for their own wedding clothes.
Sometimes this involves friends, wedding planners, family members, or future in-laws. And yes, I give you permission to exclude this pushy friend.
(When I got married, I had only a flock of bluebirds to help me get dressed.)
Your friend is wrong, you are right, and I hope you have the fairytale wedding of your dreams.
Dear Amy: I am currently in an empty marriage. I want a divorce.
We have been a couple for 29 years, but have been married for 11 years.
We didn’t marry until we had been together for 18 years.
I was a fool but didn’t realize it until we were finally married and had our son.
