...Sting, where is thy sting? For unfathomable reasons, the rock star has been cast as Dr. Frankenstein in The Bride. This is less a remake of The Bride of Frankenstein, the most joyously self-satirizing horror movie ever made, than a radical revision of it. In this version, the good doctor is no longer obsessed with challenging God for the secrets of the universe. He is now moodily in love with the mate (Jennifer Beals) he created for his original monster, who has run off with the circus. Since neither Sting nor Beals seems capable of full human animation...
Even the invitations were cryptic. Printed on shocking-pink paper, they read, "Please come to Madonna and Sean Penn's birthday party Aug. 16. Please be prompt or you'll miss the wedding." Those on the select mailing list understood the reference: the bride would turn 27 on her wedding day, and the bridegroom 25 the day after.

But to let people know she was the same old trend-setting Madonna who repopularized the crucifix and the corset, she topped her outfit with a humorous black chapeau, whose brim coyly held her long white veil...
Everything but Madonna's hat and her bridegroom's tuxedo was white--the tents, the bunting covering the tennis court, the tablecloths. At the center of each table sat a modern version of Cinderella's slipper: a gold-and-jewel-encrusted spike-heeled shoe on a brocaded cushion. The bride and bridegroom danced their wedding dance to Sarah Vaughan's I'm Crazy About the Boy, and later on, the Boy himself showed off some Saturday Night Fever steps for the enthusiastic crowd. As for the Boy Toy, she vetoed her own music, although one of the wedding's deejays...
