Way back in August of 2007, I featured photos of Carol's flame-licked wedding dress.

…And now, I believe I have finally answered the question of where the dress came from: Mode Merr.

They have 'em in a different lengths and color combos.

If you're into that whole fiery wedding thing, go look.

I've posted shots of fiery weddings before, but Kat here adds the cherry on top (or underneath?) her red wedding dress with a pair of the most amazing gold boots you've ever seen.

I mean really: how much does this outfit kick ass? Check out the full photoset of this 2006 Brooklyn wedding here — be sure not to miss the hottie groom in his top hat. And is that a wedding dog?

If you've got a couple minutes, read through the archives of the bride's blog, nupping.com. My favorite is this post:

Objectives for wedding day:

1. Do not vomit on bridegroom.

2. Do my very very best not to use the words "fuck" or "splosh" in my wedding vows. At least not on purpose.

So, first there's this rad picture of Carol in her flaming red dress. How much do you love the dress?! Here's another shot of it.

Then there's THIS amazing picture of the tattoo her husband got after the wedding. As Carol notes in the caption of the photo, "My fan base is small, but rabid."

So we've got a tattooed bride, and then a tattoo OF a bride. Now THAT'S fucking punk rock.

You can view a few more pix over on Carol's Myspace.
