Oh, how I wish naked grooms were an emerging wedding trend.
Instead, it's just a ridiculous trend in wedding dress catalogs, sort of the reverse of a chick in a bikini trying to sell a car. "Buy one overpriced wedding dress, get one toned naked cabana boy for free!"

Right. Somehow this doesn't make me feel any better than the Pamela Anderson types in g-strings straddling motorcycles. I know I'm supposed to feel, er, elevated or 'taken seriously' or something, but it just doesn't happen.

Ariel,
!!
I was just waiting for you to get ahold of those adds. They definitely made me go "huh?" Thanks for bringing a little bit of light hearted nakedness into my life

Oh, I don't know… I'm thinking perhaps our photographer will go for a pose like this. Now, I just have to convince the groom ;o)

I can't help it, all I can think when I look at that is – he's going to ruin the back of that dress! LOL….

Ha ha, this is hilarious!

I noticed those too … "Hey, look! This dress comes with a free gigolo!"
Shina said
Soooo…if I buy one of those dresses….I get a naked cabana boy? Hmm. I must rethink my rockabilly theme….

Do you think he's actually ATTACHED to the back of the dress? I bet it makes wearing pretty difficult. And probably pretty painful for him!

The only way my groom would be naked is if I was too. We would think it was hilarious and some of the guests would too! The other guests, screw them!! It's my wedding!
