Brazilian Official Wants To Regulate Underwear and Necklines On Wedding Dresses
In the Brazilian town of Vila Velha, apparently the latest superstition among brides is that their marriage will last longer if they wear no panties under their wedding dress during the wedding ceremony. The London Mail reported Tuesday that Vila Velha council member Ozias Zizi wants to protect clergy from embarrassment and protect the dignity of churches by barring the practice, as well as by regulating the lower limit of necklines on wedding dresses. Zizi admitted his proposed law would be difficult to enforce.
