Thoughts?

She looks radiant but I'm not a huge fan of the fishtail shape, plus it makes her look slightier bulkier than she is. They do make a good couple though.

Also, I have to say it . . . . . . . I love Claudia Winkelman, but why does she always wear weird coloured makeup?? I just want to wash her orange face.

She has good taste Wink!!

Furoshika · 19/11/2012 12:00

It's a lovely dress and she looks fantastic. Not everyone famous is straight up and down!

Furoshika · 19/11/2012 12:03

And she doesn't look pregnant. Sheesh, you lot. (It would be lovely if you are, Victoria.)

HellothisisJoanie · 19/11/2012 12:05

i married in 96 in a slightly full princess line - still would wear it now

GreenyEyes · 19/11/2012 12:05

I think she looks great actually AND I prefer him with the beard.

On the downside, if those really are true excerpts I won't be picking up David's autobiography any time soon

Furoshika · 19/11/2012 12:08

I read an interview with him (Grauniad? probably) where he said he had fallen for her, they'd seen each other a few times, but her dad had just died and she wasn't up for a relationship.
She does seem quite ace, why would he not be sad at that? I am fairly sure he didn't actively pursue her and grind her down Hmm

noddyholder · 19/11/2012 12:10

I love the stiff structure of the dress thats what makes it, it is not compulsory to look as thin as poss in any given outfit!

I much prefer a fuller shape

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 19/11/2012 12:46

To be honest, she looks so happy and pretty you don't really notice the dress. She looks absolutely thrilled, they both do. Nice to see.

MardyBra · 19/11/2012 12:56

I was married about the same time as you Dexter. I also had leg'o'mutton sleeves, fitted bodice and full skirt. Did you have a big bow on your bum too?

I love VC's flowers. Very elegant. Like her dress.

squoosh · 19/11/2012 13:08

Awww Dexter, you look lovely, wedding dresses from the 90s were largely fine, it's the eighties that were a bit Grin
Actually your dress looks very like Duckface's dress in Four Weddings and a Funeral!

Why did they put big bows on bums? To indicate the bum as a wifely gift?

Can anyone link to her web chat? I can't seem to find it!

FunnysInLaJardin · 19/11/2012 13:15

Dexter you look about 12 in your wedding photos Grin Plus very much like my SIL who got married in 1992, twas the fashion in them days. My BM dress was very similar, only pink floral

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 19/11/2012 13:18

It wasdn't a webchat, it was just a normal thread. Probably in chat so has disappeared.

Furoshika · 19/11/2012 13:19

Ah that explains it. Is she a MNer normally?

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 19/11/2012 13:20

No, the thread was started after she made some slightly derogatory comments about MN - she found out about it (perhaps someone tweeted her) and she came on. She was really nice. But some tosspot spoiled it by making comments about her family.

EuroShagmore · 19/11/2012 14:07

I think she looks natural and happy, but I don't like the dress, it was in no way flattering. And David looks like he had been pulled through a hedge backwards! But they look ecstatic, which is how it should be.

Pinot · 19/11/2012 14:18

It was meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that started the slagging off of Dermys wifes dress Hmm

And I stand by it. I was criticising a dress - a piece of fabric, not slagging off homeless children in Uganda FFS. And the thread, like this one, was in Style and Beauty ergo, I felt then and now that I am allowed to comment on the Style of something.

Anyway.

Vicky C looks be-yoo-ti-ful and their kiss was lovely and natural. I quiate laike a mermaid tail

Bongaloo · 19/11/2012 14:24

It wasn't a webchat. She came on to clear up any misunderstandings after she'd said something horrible about MN on HIGNFY the night before.

FellatioNelson · 19/11/2012 14:53

I got married for the first time in 1986 and I had a mahoosive great bow on my arse. Hmm

Then I got married again in 1992 and I had a mahoosive great bow at the base of my cleavage. Hmm

Some people never learn. I'm hoping to divorce my husband eventually just so I can do it again without the bow.

squoosh · 19/11/2012 14:55

When you look back at the pictures do you still like the dresses or do you find it hard to see what you loved about them originally?

MadameCastafiore · 19/11/2012 14:57

I think she is beautiful and would snark something witty about people bitching about what she looks like, her being so bloody fantabulously intelligent.

David was my secret geeky crush, him and Giles Coren - could have dirty if familial sandwich with them now!

schnauzerfan · 19/11/2012 14:58

Gorgeous dress and couple.

diddl · 19/11/2012 15:02

I think she looks lovely-she looks so happy.
