What is it about girls in wedding dresses and lots of black eyeliner that's so interesting? It's like watching a snake- you want to pull your eyes away, but you're fascinated anyway. Y'know that Volvo (I think) commercial with the guy in the car driving and the wedding and the very very green scenery and the sheep- he bursts into the chapel looking breathless, the bride and groom just look at him, and that transcendental high octave music plays in the background- you know the commercial I'm talking about. I love that commercial. It tells you only part of the story, only the immediate now and gives you none of the details...and that's what's brilliant about it. You get a thirty second window, a minute picture frame of the story and that's it. You can't help but wonder what went on- or shake your head knowingly and say to yourself "God, it must suck to be him." Wedding dresses, I tell ya...
