My future father-in-law has quite the sense of humour, which is no surprise if you know the Fiancée.

By coincidence, I recently received the enclosed photo from my old friend X. I’m sure that your readers would love to see the newest wedding dress trends in Moscow.  I’ve been told by authorities in Russia that it is an old custom for the engaged couple to share a litre of vodka before embarking on a wedding dress purchase & you can see the results in this jpg. (follow the email trail below & you can see it does originate in Moscow)

I replied:

Wow-zahs. Really too bad I already bought my dress.
