Get hitched as a Disney Princess

If every girl dreams of being a princess, then they probably dream of being a Disney Princess. Disney put the idea into every western 5 year old's head - through the power of their cartoons and 'merchandising machine'. Their fairy tale princess is almost certainly the most pervasive; the one most girls grew up with. Their fantasy is the image inside every wannabe princess's head. Now, they've decided to close the loop.

Yes, after 50-plus years of making every girl aspire to be a princess, Disney now helps to make it a reality... of some sorts. It's called Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings. They supply the wedding gown, bridesmaids' outfits, jewellery and veils - all inspired by the Disney Princesses girls have grown up wanting to be.

They'll be at New York Bridal Fashion Week this week showcasing gowns designed by "renowned" (never heard of her) designer Kirstie Kelly.

I guessing that this won't catch on over here. Surely us brits can see when we're being exploited?!
