When my Hime-chan got married, she decided on having a steampunk-themed wedding, and I was determined to do my best, though I didn't know much about steampunk. She sent me an e-mail with a list of links to websites where I could buy pre-made dresses. I fell in love with one on Iris Noir Boutique, Step In Time. Once I received it, I was pleased and surprised to realize I had everything I wanted to accessorize it: a miniature top-hat with a veil I had bought on a whim from Hot Topic years before and had never had the excuse to wear, a pair of silver key earrings I had since I was a pre-teen at least, the black gloves I had worn for my Sweet Sixteen, and finally a black parasol that had belonged to my great-grandmother.
