High-Maintenance Brides Go Hollywood on Everyone


The average woman may not want an abbreviated Hollywood marriage, but she wants to look as flawless as a celebrity bride. “Movie-star syndrome” has hit brides-to-be, says the Minneapolis Post, and to pull it off, these wedding-bound women are engaging in extra, costly measures that go beyond the standard hair test run. Now it’s all about Botox (on the face to iron out wrinkles, plus under the arms to prevent sweating). One woman opted to get 10 porcelain veneers — at $900 a pop! Steep diets have always been part of the wedding prescription, but one local seamstress said that right before a bride’s big day, it is common for her to cinch the bride’s dress by two sizes — which amounts to a 40-lb weight-loss! Photos last forever, but is a high dose of Hollywood to blame for these lofty expectations — or would you do the same if you were getting hitched?
