Take a Word Challenge #37 - Weddings

Yes, I admit I have a very jaundiced view of marriage!  My forlorn bride was originally a bathing beauty by Kubivet (free to use image).  I have altered it by overpainting the bridal wear (tulle, courtesy of Irene Alexeeva).  The stool was Googled.  The lyrics are from a very old music hall song much older than I but they somehow appeal to me in a warped sort of way.

  12. Your piece is exactly what I would have expected, Marie. It's wonderful. I have never hear that song, but it is hilarious. Your bride is perfect with her tulle and lovely dress. Your ability to repaint images never ceases to amaze me.
