We'll talk more about vendors next week, but in the meantime — yay, CNN! The article, titled “Brides buck tradition and ditch the white dress” won't be breaking news for most Offbeat Bride readers … but it's still nice to see the mainstream media take notice of nontraditional wedding trends.
So go read the article, but promise me you won't bother with the comments. Never, ever read with the comments on mainstream media articles about weird weddings. They always suck. That said, it's funny to see commenters talking about how, based on Ariel's wedding dress, her marriage is doomed. The article never mentions the fact that Ariel's wedding was way back in 2004, so commenters don't know that she celebrated her sixth anniversary this summer. HA!

Oh don’t torture yourself! Comments on alt wedding articles in mainstream publications are always agonizing.
comments on alt ANYTHING in mainstream publications are always agnozing!
Amen to that. 🙂
Comments on ANYTHING in mainstream websites are always agonizing!
NEVER READ THE COMMENTS.
That was so exciting to be doing my normal morning news reading, and then suddenly “OMG OMG OMG It’s Ariel!”
I can’t believe the comments on that article… some people are just lost causes
I love that photo and congrats on 6 years of marriage! And congrats on CNN!
The comments are more flabbergasting than rage inducing for me; I just wonder if those people have taken the time to actually *think* about what they just wrote. A dress, no matter how amazing or expensive or alternative, is still just an article of clothing!
