Reflection:

    Vera Wang is the most famous and the only brand who makes bridal wear that I ever know. I once saw a Vera Wang bridal gown when at Breeze Shinyi. It was really glamorous. I think that many girls dream of wearing a Vera Wang wedding dress at their wedding. The price of a Vera Wang wedding dress is really high that normal people are unable to afford it. Regardless of the price, where to put the wedding dress after the wedding is another important problem.
