The Grace Kelly Dress
Brenda Janowitz
Top 10 Best Quotes

“We need to remember the past so that we can more clearly see where we are going.”
“PICK YOUR FABRIC “The importance of this step cannot be understated. If you pick the wrong fabric, your dress is doomed from the start. Pick a fabric that has the right weight, that will flatter the design. And the figure of the bride who will wear it. Once you pick your fabric, the die is cast. There is no going back.”
“These things we hold on to, they are more than just things. They prove our history, who we are, where we came from.”

“MAKE THE FIRST CUT “This step is not for the faint of heart. There is no going back. It is time to make the first cut. Are you sure you have made all the right choices? Are you pleased with your plan? Do not make your first cut until you are absolutely, positively sure.” —Excerpted from Creating the Illusion by Madame Michel, Paris, 1954”
“You can be whoever you want to be. You belong to me and I belong to you, no matter what. And I will love you no matter what.”
“This overly accepting display of mixed message blessing-giving was making her feel ill. Therapist or not, having a child tell you that they want to set off and find their birth mother could not be easy. And then the added bonus that said child also wanted to invite said birth mother to his wedding? Impossible. And Drew’s mother had to pretend that everything was okay, that this decision was fine with her, even though it had to be difficult. When Rocky and Drew left, what would his parents say about it? Would Drew’s mother discuss it with her own therapist?”
“This is the kind of person you marry—someone who loves the worst parts of you, someone who knows how to make you laugh even when you’re mad as hell.”
“There’s no such thing as the biggest mistake,” her mother said. “There’s only what you do and what you don’t do.”
