Well, here I am eating lunch and starting to read the Wall Stree
Journal and what do I see on Page 1?? An article entitled, "Brief
Skirmish, Or How the Thong is Making its Mark." Apparently thong
underwear is one of the fast growing areas of the intimate apparel
market. I'm sure that the Monica revelation has something to do with
this. Victoria's Secret sold 14 million thongs last year, 40% of panty
sales.

Now I'm sure most of you (but then again maybe not) are interested in
whether I wear thongs to work. The answer is no, the days I do wear
underwear it's usually a cotton bikini by Jockey.

ciao,

Allison (who is glad that June has come and casual dress season at work
is finally here)

I only wear thongs with a particular cotton t-shirt dress, so that it
doesn't inch up from the friction with a brief. I usually wear hi-cut
briefs. white cotton.

Oh yeah! Wedding update. I got the fabric swatches for the silk for my
wedding dress. It looks like it's going to be white Chinese dupioni
19mm (that's its weight). It's not stark white, it's more like a
`candlelight' or whatever they call it. I also bought the blue velvet
for the bridesmaids dresses.

Take Care, Lucinda

I've seen this color, it's a real real pale ecru. It should look quite
lovely. The brocade bodice on my dress has a hint of yellow in it.

I left all that up to the bridesmaides. I gave them the choice of
patterns and colors, as long as they all wore the same type and color
of dress <g>; though it might be interesting to let each one make her
own decision and see how things turned out. Their dresses are all made
and look wonderful. They opted for a light blue, I forget the name of
the color but it is a little darker than sky blue.

My veil is finished and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. RSVPs are
coming back. Just over six weeks to go!!!!!

Exactly, it seems to be the natural color of the silk. I can't go with
too much yellow or I'll look sickly. I have the corset kit and I need
to find time to sew it together. Ack.

I got their input, but none of them are particularly fashion conscious.
They like the style I picked out, and it'll really help that we're
getting them made. I'm really pleased with the velvet, it's somewhere
between royal and navy. I'll be wearing a platinuum and sapphire
bracelet that should match well.

That should be lovely.

I ordered my veil from Belgium over the internet and it's beautiful.
It's oval shaped and looks like a small, sparsely decorated lace
tablecloth. *grin* I'm thinking of getting a tiara to go with it. I
was think of those Spanish combs that go with mantillas, but my family
thought that was too exotic. I don't want to overwhelm my guests with
my weirdness.

Invitations... I need to look into that...*grin*

Take Care, Lucinda

In the spirit of the NG, I got my nighties for the honeymoon at... of
all places, the softer side of Sears. It's the only place I found
flattering things for my less than ideal figure. go figure.

Wow, that would look really neat. I never thought about the Internet
for wedding veils. There is a seamstress in this area that also is a
lacemaker. She's the one that did my veil.

Yeah, I live nowhere. I feel like Laura Ingles(sp?) from the Little
House books, getting everything mailorder. I got the velvet when I
visited my dad in Chicago. I can't get anything worthwhile here. Hey,
I found my man over the internet, I might as well do it all the way.

Oh definitely. Something partially revealed is a lot more intriguing to
men. You don't want to wear out their miniscule attention span. *grin*
So what if it only stays on a few minutes? At least do the long white
gown (not the wedding gown!) the first night to make it special.
Something in silk charmeuse.

Hmmm, I think I'll log into the Victoria's Secret web site and see what's
available. How about a long gown with lots of cleavage on night one
followed by a pastel peignoir set for night two?? Sounds good to me.

Heh.
Every time I pass "Victoria's Secret" I keep thinking of Jeff
Foxworthy, and his comment about what he thought after seeing the VS
catalog ... "It looks to me, like Victoria doesn't HAVE many secrets
any more."

I agree with Michael. And considering that the overwhelming majority of the
posts on the NG are way off topic anyway, it's certainly a much better subject
than debating the existence of God, or whether or not we should have stricter
gun control. Plus with the segue into wedding night nighties, it fits in much
better than most threads.

Remember, a scantily clad woman is much more alluring than a totally naked

Guess what Lucinda, the Wall Stree Journal reports today that a wedding
registry web site will be opening up for business this week. Della and
James (two women Stanford B-School grads) will open for business with
the following companies: Neiman-Marcus, Crate & Barrell, Williams-
Sonoma, and some other regional stores. The site will be della-
james.com

CEO Rebecca Patton says: "This creates one place where the modern
couple can communicate everthing about their wedding."

Do you think if we register the other NG readers will buy us presents??

Thongs one day, bridal registries the next.

Hmmm... perhaps this is one reason for that old
no-sex-before-marriage rule. There's nothing quite
like a long drawn-out build-up of anticipation.
(I sense a story idea in that ...)

You may be able to simulate "virginal bride syndrome"
by imposing a moratorium on sex for a month or so
before the wedding ... *if* the two of you can DO it. <g>

With only 6 weeks to go, perhaps you should start
the deprivation period tonight. :o

- Wijit. (just a suggestion - what do you think?)

Actually on my wedding night, my wife was so tired from the reception
and the two hour drive (in the poring rain) to Mount Airy Lodge in the
Poconos, that she fell asleep on the couch in our room.

She made up for it the next morning, though. ;-)

Mother nature has taken care of this for the next three days. After
that I don't know. Since we live in the same house, it might call for
separate bedrooms.

As for the bells and whistles, I suppose you and your fiance will have to
decide what kinds of toys and other aparatus you're going to bring with you.

As a man, my advice would be to go with this. Another option
would be to set it up so that you got into bed unobserved and
wrapped yourself in the top sheet.

Women are _much_ sexier revealed than they are already bare. Why
do you think that strip shows don't start their women off totally
nude? And the man's doing the unwrapping is sexier than having
it done for him. If you've read "For Him" you might remember
Jeanette's wearing a ribbon with a bow strategically placed. Try
that inside a peignoir the third night. (Or the first
"luniversary.")

(BTW, from the perspective of a man, albeit a crass one,
wrappings to remove are much more important than _different_ ones
from one night to the next.)


However, I deny that I have a minuscule attention span regarding
naked women.

Just what Lucinda and I have been telling Allison. Not so much coverage
as to create doubts as to what's there; enough coverage to make him want
to remove it to see.

Or, in the words of the newspaper business, back when there was a
newspaper business, "Always save an imporant fact in your right-hand
story for below the fold."

I read once that for some very large percentage of marriages, no sex occurs
on the wedding night whatsoever. I thought that was funny and did an
informal poll of my married friends, and was shocked to discover that *none*
of them had sex on their wedding nights. Unless you consider passing out
from exhaustion a form of sex.

I've been out of pocket, so I almost missed this, but I
just have to comment.

If the bells ring at all, Allison, you're statistically
unusual.

I can't find the source at the moment, but I read
somewhere reasonably trustworthy that a large majority
of brides do *not* have sex on their wedding
nights--maybe seventy percent. That's because
everybody concerned is too tired.

You'll hear some strange little tinkles, though, as time
goes on. I strongly recommend that you read a book called
"Marriage Shock," by Dalma Heyn (NY: Delta, 1997). It's
addressed largely to women, but it's not in the least a
male-bashing tract. I'd recommend it to anyone getting
married, male or female; anyone who is married, and anyone
who cares about anybody who is married. I don't agree with
her on every point by any means, but I think her main
thrust--that something happens to women when they get
married *other* than having all the sex they want laid
on--is right on the mark.

Hmm ... I remember when I was watching a special where the
clothing-designer for "Star Trek" was explaining how he designed the
women's clothes, about how to design a dress.

It was something to the idea that: "A really SEXY dress, should cover
what is necessary, while giving the impression of viewing everything.
It should also LOOK like it will fall off at the slightest uncareful
movement of the wearer, while being well-enough designed to remain in
place during vigorous exercise."

I'm certain that I got the words all wrong ... while fairly carefully
retaining the basic idea. I kept those two ideas FIRMLY in mind, back
when I was designing dresses for my then girlfriend (now my wife).
Sadly, I never COULD match the designers of Star Trek ... but I did
come up with a couple of VERY sexy outfits for her. (Sadly, she can't
wear any of them any more ... not for over 15 years now.)

You don't mean to suggest they're going to have <Gasp!> SEX, do you?

Some people have dirty minds. ;-}

Hate to say this, brides-to-be, but the best bit of advice I got as a
bride was "Forget sex."

I thought that was a daft thing to say until my own wedding day. On
the day itself, after one of the most eventful and exciting days of
our lives so far - and a long day too - up early, full of excitement
then the ceremony, the reception and the evening party - well by the
time we hit our hotel room we were more interested in telling each
other how happy we were and falling fast asleep in a romantic sorta
heap. I think the marriage was consummated about day 3, when we'd got
our breath back. It's big stress, a day like that, even though it's
lovely stress.

I suppose the sense that your wedding night was the time to make the
most beautiful sexual music ever comes from the time when most couples
didn't get the chance to rehearse much beforehand! <grin>

These days it's not usually the first time. And of course one of the
nicest things about being married is that you have all the time in the
world. Don't bust a gut.

Oh and now I've written this I see some more posts. People who are
saying exactly the same thing. Perhaps wedding parties should press
for cheaper hotel bills. "We're on our wedding night. So you *know*
there won't be any stains *or* noise."

Thanks to you and the others for all the statistics and advice. I'll
be sure to let everyone know whether we do it or not <g>. Given that
we've been together for some time know the wedding night consumation is
not as big an issue than if we were both chaste virgins!

As I got to thinking about my wedding night those many years ago, I recalled
that we didn't have sex that night either. We got married on a Friday night and
after the reception we got to the hotel at the airport by about one or
one-thirty in the morning (with a 7 o'clock flight the next morning). We were
too exhausted to do anything but kiss good night. It wasn't until the next
night on our honeymoon that we consummated the marriage.

Since others are doing it, I guess I ought to tell everybody
about my own wedding night.

Well, the wedding was at 4 p.m. at the Cathedral, the
reception at six in a hotel ballroom. After stuffing
ourselves--getting married made me hungry--my husband
and I got in a car and went around the block, then came
back to the same hotel and went up to our suite via the
service entrance (previously arranged). Meanwhile, the
bridesmaids and groomsmen sneaked away from the
reception and came up to their own rooms--we had four
adjoining suites, paid for gladly by the groom's parents,
who had almost lost hope that he would ever get married.
All of us then had four or five glasses of whatever was
going, which was everything, and during the imbibing
period the whole scene turned into a jolly orgy. This
would have been fine except that the matron of honor
went back down and offered to do the priest and the
organist, which was embarrassing. Both declined. (The
first and second readers, both women, already were
engaged with her husband, who was a linebacker on the
local professional football team.) Anyhow, she came back
pouting and threw a folding chair out the sixth floor
window, but then two violinists who had been part of the
quartet that played for the reception comforted her. About
then my memory gets vague.

This was all a great deal of fun, and we treasure our
wedding video. The only real trouble was that neither I
nor my husband can remember whether we actually had
sex with each other that night. Fortunately, the kids don't
mind, since we remedied that possible deficiency about
twelve times in the next three days. (He was younger
then.) Homer will be glad to know that I got pregnant
sometime during that week. My oldest, Alan, whom we
both love dearly, is growing fast, and he does look like a
pretty good candidate for the Dallas Cowboys in a few
years, except that he is very smart. My daughter Judy
looks like her father.

I do hope that both Alison's and Lucinda's weddings will
be as much fun as ours was.

Maybe she should become a writer... Janey has a flair for telling a
story! *grin*

The Morning after was great for me and my bride. We blew our scheduled departure
but hey it was our day or rather our week. It might be wise to have a loose
schedule rather than adding to the pressure. But I guess that depends on the
personalities of the parties involved. Some would be stressed with out a tight
schedule.

Um ... do you count at 12:34 in the morning, as "on the wedding
night?" How about first thing before getting up the next day, when
it's already daylight? (Tried and failed ... just barely.)

Bridal Thongs?

The image that comes to mind is a little ceremony performed at
receptions. The bride sits on a chair in the middle of the
room and the groom hikes up her dress to slip an elastic
suspender off her stockinged leg and then he tosses it to a
waiting crowd of eligible bachelors.

Is someone thinking of substituting a thong for the garter?

That should make for an interesting reception.
