DressGetting married after 2000, western-style wedding dresses

were trendy until now. Most young people chose to wear

western suits and gowns at weddings, at any cost. My sister

choose Chinese traditional customs clothes and western

wedding dress combination. Moreover, she think the more

expensive the dress has, the more popular the style is. She

was very focused on choosing a western dress.
