My cousin (the stink) has a MUCH larger wedding budget than my own. I was showing her my pics of the Victoriana and she agreed that the white beading was blech....three days later she calls me to announce that she bought the black Victoriana (yes, I am a little annoyed that she went with a black gown - petty, I know) BUT she's having it custom beaded with Black and Pewter crystals. I love her, but she sucks.
