It's not unusual to see folks (particularly Asians) decked in their wedding best at various spots around town -- the Eiffel Tower for example, or the Tuileries or even the Pont des Arts. But this is the first time I've seen a bride on the metro. Or was she really a bride at all? What I can tell you is that she was with a photographer and another lady (dressed in street clothes) and there was no groom in sight. Plus that cardigan was pretty ratty and she was also wearing black slacks underneath. (Stop that. I didn't have to peek to see those. When she sat down a while after I took the shot, she gathered her skirt around her so it wouldn't get dirty.) Well if she shows up in some Asian wedding magazine, you can say that you saw her here first.

When I lived in Korea, a lot of Korean brides would don a Western white wedding gowns for photos a few weeks before the wedding and get married in traditional garb. It was not uncommon for them to wear jeans and sneakers under the white gown to go to and from whatever location they had picked to have the pics taken. My guess is that is what you saw yesterday:)
It's definitely not something one sees every day.
Great detective work on that "bride" or whatever she is. I wonder if a bride-to-be would wear jeans under her gown on the Métro. Hummm.....
Here in Las Vegas I catch a bride in full bloom about every other trip to the Strip. They wander the casinos, the sidewalks, and evidently just want to show off the fact that they were just married.
I once rode the metro dressed as the virgin Mary, but it was for a costume part and I had no photographer with me, only my boyfriend who was dressed as the devil!!! Hahaha! We got some funny looks and giggles from other commuters.
