In the book Owlsight, Mercedes Lackey includes a Bonding ceremony (marriage) in which both bride and groom wear elaborate embroyered robes over simpler dress and these robes, it says, are displayed on walls as art and worn on anniversaries.
What do you think of this as an alternative to only dressing nicely (my choice) or to a hugely expensive white dress that is never worn again ("my daughter will wear it" she says, having refused to wear her mother's or grandmothers' dress.)?
A robe, cape, or shawl which might show family history, crests, living locations, interests of the person (or couple) or art based on their aspirations?
