If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?!

I love helping Beauty Store Bride-to-Be's pick out nail polish: that special color that will grace her hands as she nervously holds her bouquet down the aisle, the color that will be seen in photos as the groom vows to love her even through the not-so-colorful times. I love talking with a bride-to-be about how she feels about her upcoming wedding while searching the walls of color for the one that will capture her joy and calm her jitters.

When my sister married 4 years ago, she gave me the honor of picking out her nail polish color. Knowing she loves pink, OPI's Chapel of Love was the winning candidate. (Yes, I am a sucker for letting polish names guide me. Chapel of Love is discontinued, but Elephantistic Pink has a similar vintage quality.) This summer, my younger sister is marrying her soul mate; and I am already browsing the shelves of OPI and Essie, in search of a color that will represent her and that will be a time capsule for the many memories that will be created July 8.
