All I could think when I saw this was, them damn kids drew all over the back of her dress! When a couple that's been together so long they have six kids finally gets married, it's not exciting. In fact, none of it is exciting to me. It's just a piece of paper and a fancy party. Congrats to Angie and Brad, but, I thought they were already married. They were in my brain..I mean..six kids!

I thought this was a joke. I can't believe that dress is real. I'm happy they got married, but I was really excited to see the dress (that's the only part of awards ceremonies I like are the dresses). I was quite disappointed. I was expecting some old hollywood type of thing. This dress looks like an April fool's joke.
After all these years and children, it feels silly, to me. I think it's probably the least exciting thing to happen around that family in a long time. I didn't think they were married, prior to this, because I felt pretty strongly, that there would be some media hoopla about the non-event. I was right. Those are posed pictures, released by someone who had permission.
No-one asked me, or will care, but I think the drawings on the veil and wherever else they may be, are stupid. When you have children who can draw well enough to decorate your dress with pictures of planes, and whatever, it is time to just call it a day, and have a city hall wedding, if you want one. I realize many people are not going to see it my way, but I just don't like them. He was pretty when he was younger, and she is interesting looking, but I just don't have any interest in them at all.
I apologize for my negative outlook. I miss my husband and am cranky.

Let me just add. . . her hand clutching his side, reminds me of the old lady's hand in The Shining. When she is up, out of the bathtub, and reaching out for the little boy. Creepy.

I get the feeling that it was the kids that wanted mommy to wear a white dress- so Angie gave them that. The anti- traditional bride in her let the kids have sharpies and time alone with her ensemble. It's the "I care but I don't really care" look.
I think all the childish doodling on the dress is ridiculous. Maybe it's just me, but imo anyone past their 20's should opt for a non-white gown...it seems weird seeing more mature women dressing in lacy/frilly white gowns like little princesses. She doesn't even look like she's enjoying herself. I'm with you, Christina...and I'm not cranky or missing anyone. There's got to be limits.
Stoooopid , dumb ass thing to do. That dress and veil? The dress is bad enough, but the veil is a sign of purity. I mean. COME.ON.! I couldn't care less if they had their kids drawings sewn in to the dress. But why did she need that dress at all? You're right, 6 kids? 22 guests is a small wedding, hell half of them were the kids! But like you, who cares? He had to borrow one of their son's neckties? But she wore a cotouire'(sp) Versace? WHY? Just wear a nice cream suit like Carrie ended up with in the 1st Sex & The City movie. (The only one that matters.) And Pax baked the GD cake? The dress is all that bothers me, and the veil. There's ZERO point in any of what she's wearing. Now, let's start counting down to their divorce. "Oh the marriage ruined everything...we were so happy but went and spoiled it...Please give us our (f'g) privacy at this difficult time." All the usual BS! Have all the privacy you want! Cuz really, does anybody care about them? Now? No.

I'm sure in the minority here, but I liked the dress and the drawings on the veil. I thought it looked so much better than the great majority of dresses lately. And it had character.
I think this was all done for the kids (and by the kids). I don't think the parents cared one way or the other.
I read that the drawings were stitched into the dress and veil...not that the children drew all over it. Either way....whatever.
I love this family, I think everything they do is amazing. They are incredibly cool and intelligent. I loved the idea of the veil although I agree its a bit of a scribble, but again, it shows that the kids come first, even before vanity. They married because it was important to the kids, kids are conservative. Kim and Kanye married after having a child, Kim wore white even though it was her second marriage. It was pretty dam obvious that the Kim and Kanyes marriage was pure ego and product endorsement. But this family didn't advertise their wedding, kept it low key and I can guarantee that any money received from the magazine that bought the pictures would be donated to causes chosen by the kids. I think it was a lovely family bonding exercise. Michael and I married in an attempt to bond our families together, it was a futile exercise and being married didn't change our relationship at all, or how we felt towards each other, it was always there anyway. We also wanted to make our commitment clear to family members who wanted to bring our relationship down. Also, at my age it seemed silly to call Michael my boyfriend and I hate the word partner. To everyone who know us and care about us we are known simply as Michael and Lia. But to the outside world, before they make up their own stories about our relationship, they can call us husband and wife, the highest status can you attach to a relationship in the outside world. I can understand why gays and lesbians want marriage legalized and applied to their relationships. I'm sorry you are hurting so much Christine. Big hugs to you.
Call me old fashioned but a wedding is kind of for entering a new phase of committed living. Nothing against a couple getting married and having a wedding if they've been living together but so many wedding traditions are about starting a new life together, all the various types of showers for example. We've started making our own traditions because we don't live lives like they used to and that's fine but I didn't get excited about Brad and Angelina's wedding for this reason. What are they doing differently than they have already been doing for the last nine years?
They have six children already, why not let them participate in the 'wedding'? I thought the veil was lovely and if you're going to have a wedding dress after six children you have right to start your own tradition like that. It was cute and I bet it made the kids feel special too. So often it's about the bride, right?
Married, not married, I still see them the same way. Congrats to them if that's what they want. Does that mean marriage equality has progressed far enough for them to justify marriage?
I don't think they really doodled on the dress. The drawings were put on there by designer Donatella Versaci. So not just your ordinary doodles. But still who gives a frick and it seems to be the only news for the last 24 hours. I thought they were already married too. Least in my mind. Whooopdeedo.
I think big weddings in general are stupid & I'm ANNOYED as hell by them. When someone other than a BEST FRIEND or close relative invites me to a wedding I am instantly grossed out by that person & the disgust usually lasts for the rest of my life. LOL!!
We eloped. Vegas.
Maybe a good thing about the hideous graffiti dress is that it employed a bunch of seamstresses for the better part of a year? Other than that it was probably fun for the kids, which is pretty much what their lives are about anyway.
