Knocked Up and Gettin Hitched

This one comes courtesy of Broadsheet. Apparently, maternity clothing designers are getting hip to the fact that there are (ahem) pregnant brides. I'm not sure if this is another way to glamorize the baby bump in our newly MILF-focused culture, or a long overdue acknowledgment of the fact that weddings and babies don't always happen in that order. Regardless, as an aspirational late-mom who also plans on tying the knot one of these days soon, I'm kind of into it, even though I'd more likely wear a red dress and cowboy boots when the blessed event occurs (the wedding, not the labor).

Anyway, I'm not sure I believe Maternity Bride's survey, which claims that 1 in 6 brides are preggers. Still, nice to know there are options for those who are screwing with the traditional order of things and still want to wear the traditional big white dress.
