Always a Bridesmaid
Even the most low maintenance girl can morph into an over-zealous bridezilla once she’s got her rock on.
Take the lead character in Beatrice Masini’s delightful picture book Here Comes the Bride. It tells the story of the sweet Filomena, a seamstress who spends all her time making wedding dresses for other women while dreaming of becoming a bride herself.
When Rusty the mechanic finally proposes her chance to create the most magnificent gown arrives. But between the tulle and the flowers and the sequins and bows, the lovely Filomena disappears into a giant Ile Flottante that scares even the groom away.
Of course, all ends well, and with a simple, yet meaningful moral. The perfect gift for a bride(zilla)-to-be.
