Wedding Classic: Possibly Fictional Titanic Bride

[mechtilde]

Good point about the longwaisted thing- one of my friends is just like that and didn't show AT ALL. OK we never saw her in the nudd, but she went out for dinner with some friends at 38 weeks- one of whom was a MIDWIFE and even she didn't realise.

I'm slow catching up to this thread, and I'm only through page 8, but I want to say a big thank you to all of you--yes, even Liar Liar/Cinderella--for brightening up my day. I really needed a good laugh!

Well, I could take my cues from Maud Hart Lovelace's Emily of Deep Valley. But I think I'd still be unable to slip up and say, "You know, I saw that on the internet just the other day ..."

Also had to add: I love this book! I also love the high-school-and-after Betsy-Tacy ones, but something about Emily really speaks to me.

You know, in honor of the great delight this story has brought us, perhaps we should all collaborate on a special "director's cut" edition, with all the bits that poor Cinderella left out the first time around. Like when Evil Jennifer made Cindy lace her into her corset really tight so that she would have the littlest waist of any of the girls at the barbecue... Evil Jennifer making Cindy sit up all night sewing Swarovski crystals onto her dinner dress by hand, and then smacking her across the face when Cindy's tears make blotches on the fragile silk chiffon...

Oooh, that's a good detail. And what about shoes? We must include something about how poor Cindy's shoes didn't coordinate with the undertheme, and she had to walk about barefoot on the ship.

or they were grossly too big and made her walk like a clown.....

Or too small and now she's crippled for life. . .

No, no - crippled until the magical love of her prince heals her, and they dance a lovelorn waltz at the reception after Jennifer storms out.

My mother mentions a six foot woman of her acquaintance "back in the days" when a pregnant woman was expected to gain 20 to 25 pounds (1950s and 1960s) to make it easier to get back to her old weight post partum.  Apparently it took a while to realize that this was doing things to the baby's development..........but I digress.

She never showed - the doctor joked that he could tell that her husband was military, the baby was standing at attention in there!

Evil Cindy should have pulled Evil Jennifer's corset so tight she cracked a couple of ribs!

Someone else has read Maud Hart Lovelace? Yay!

There are quite a few Betsy & Tacy fans on this board.

It's a wonderful moment when the curtain goes up ...


And Flossie's Accident ... but she got her head put back on.

I thought "having the vapors" was having "intestinal difficulties" and you needed to go pass gas.....

"The vapors" is used to refer to nervousness, anxiety, or being high-strung.

oh ok -- learn somthing new everyday.....

See I always THOUGHT that is what it ment and then I read somewhere (who remembers where. grin) that it ment passing gas.

There were also the 'vapors' that wafted up from the inadequate sanitation devices of the Victorian era...

Which of course had no part in Cindy's Titanic story at all.

But a few floated off this one....

I love to read this thread.
