I love the movie Amélie.

This wedding was on Offbeat Bride today, and I absolutely loved it.

They got married in an old theatre, with their Amélie-themed wedding video serving as the intro. How awesome is that?!

So, after spending weeks looking at The Dress every fifteen minutes, I finally called up some bridal salons and, through some effort, found one within a 50-mile-radius who carried it.
