Bessette walked down the aisle, wearing a fluid, bias-cut dress of pearl-white crepe. A panel floated from the waist in the back, in a suggestion of a train. She wore a veil of silk tulle, and her crystal-beaded satin sandals were from Manolo Blahnik, designer of pricey, fashionable shoes. In her hands, covered by long white gloves, she carried a small bouquet of lilies of the valley.

Lovett's music blared thorugh the speakers during the next set of songs, a toe-tapping and high-stepping piece called "Nine Lives." Much well-deserved applause was given to costume director Nong Tumsutipong, who clad the men deliciously in tight jeans and sweat-stained silk shirts, and the women in colorful and daring leotards pieced together in geometric shapes.
