Well, I Suppose It Saves on Tuxedo Rental...
A friend writes, "One perk of being Third Order Religious (Dominican, at least) is that you can be married in the habit (I think)." A T.O.P. friend of mine writes that this is no longer the case, though apparently you can still be buried in the habit. Perhaps, while a quaint enough custom, this is all for the best. While the habit and the tux are both black-and-white, I'm not quite sure what a bride would think if she went up the aisle to find some guy dressed up like Savonarola where her groom ought to be, especially if she has a history (as in common in such circles) of inadvertently facilitating ex-boyfriends' vocations...
