we're putting together our annual "age" issue -- and we'd like you to do forty.
no. you. you are forty. i want you to be featured in the magazine as the forty year old -- and here's the brilliant twist -- bride.
in bridal couture. it's a once in a lifetime opportunity - so spare me a week of faux soul-searching and just say yes.
carrie. vogue designers, vogue photographers, vogue airbrushing. nod your head: yes.
thank-you. it will be a sensation. we're calling it: "the last single girl."
no, but forty is the last age you can see a woman photographed in a wedding gown without the unintended diane arbus subtext.
style yes.  bride no.
briefly. in 1975. i wore halston. creme. one shoulder grecian with a low-cut bodice to the waistline for a dramatic flair. the fabric in the sleeves formed oval draping on the sides. stunning. my future husband and i saw it on a trip to paris and he fell in love with it.
insisted i be married in it. so i was. we had quite a beautiful party.
did you not hear me say my husband fell in love with my gown? has your fiance expressed any interest in what you'll be wearing?
then you may have a shot.
