And Still, I Waited Bridal Gown

Some promises are kept long after the heart has ceased to beat. Through the passing of years, through the slow extinguishing of candlelight, through the terrible silence that follows when all hope ought to have been surrendered, she waits. And Still, I Waited Bridal Gown is an exquisite vision of love suspended beyond the boundaries of life itself, its magnificent ivory skirts cascading like the pale remnants of a dream, its ethereal finery recalling a bridal apparition who has lingered so long that time has forgotten to claim her. There is something devastatingly romantic in its splendour, a beauty untouched by the ordinary cruelties of passing years, yet steeped in the melancholy of a promise that was never fulfilled. As though the very last moment before a wedding that never came has been preserved for all eternity.

Perhaps she no longer remembers how long she has waited. Only the faint impression of a hand once held, the echo of a voice that promised forever, the rustle of her bridal skirts in rooms where no living footsteps have sounded for a hundred years. Still, she gathers her veil, still she turns towards the slightest movement in the darkness, still she believes that somewhere beyond the silence, her beloved is coming. A gown for the most beautiful and sorrowful kind of haunting, where love has outlived everything but longing, and even death has not persuaded the bride to abandon her vigil.
