    For crying out loud. Given how long most marriages last, I guess these folks have to have some permanence from them. And if these brides need a fast way to trash their gowns, why not let much-tried bridesmaids, grooms, or singles-who-shell-out-money-they'll-never-get-back do the honors? Hell, I bet that part of the ceremonies would be more popular than the wedding itself. ;)
