A Wedding Disaster of Titanic Proportions

So you’re planning your wedding day, dreaming up themes of romance and eternal love, and suddenly you have a brilliant notion: to dress your bridesmaids in one of the most romantic dresses from one of the most gaggingly romantic films ever.  In short, you decide to dress your bridesmaids in Rose’s famous evening gown from the movie Titanic.

You know, Titanic. The movie where the two main characters fall in love, hit an iceberg, sink an entire cruise ship, and oh yeah - the guy dies.

OK, sure. Anyway, moving right along, since this dress does not exist outside the 20th Century Fox studios, you decide to ask your future mother in law to sew the dresses for you. She declines help, she declines a pattern, and on the day of your wedding, she reveals the dresses she has spent six months making (or not):

I’m not particularly superstitious, but I’m pretty sure the bride jinxed this one right from the start, what with the “1,500 dead people and a broken heart” theme. If you didn’t catch this true story when it made the rounds 10 years ago, you can still read the whole story of this epic wedding diaster at Etiquette Hell.
