 (Updated: adds link on designer.) The focus here is mainly on what Michelle's wearing.
'MK', as I vaguely recall saying at the time, left the English Desk at the Factory while this site was still but a baby and headed off for a month to California.
Where she got married in a very international way.
Now it seems that the gown, along with other wedding dresses and kimonos by Munehiro Nomura goes on show in Paris, for a week from Wednesday.
 Before she disappeared at the end of ... March, she was so full of news about her specially made wedding dress that I promised to show all on the 'blog.
Certainly she was also bubbling about Max, the French scientist feller who snagged her, but the juicier bits have evaporated from my retrievable circuits.
 When I caught up with Michelle again during my visit to AFP, my timing was so brilliant that she gave me a card to photocopy with details about the fashion designer on it. And a website.
In the turmoil of some of the rest of the week, I lost this, but Michelle has sent a rescue mail.
Nomura came to France in his early 20s in 1993 and founded Fresque Blanche almost two years ago, after working as an assistant costume designer for mainly European opera houses. The coming show, part of a Franco-Japanese programme, is at his central Paris workshop (Fr; attention, pop-ups!).
 The wedding was in San Diego and I didn't know who anybody else in the pictures was until last week, but now MK has told me where to find them on the Net and given me the key, I'm posting a selection without further ado.
 Blame the Kid for the choices here (and me for for the tweaking in a bid to bring out the details). It's either her judgement or that of the Wildcat I count on when it's matter of fashion.
"Magnificent!" Marianne said, looking at a pre-selection. "It's a wonderful dress. Who's Michelle? Who's Max?"
Well, the Kid knows who MK is, being an occasional visitor to the factory herself, but of Max I still know little, apart from the fact that he looks as happy as he does elegant.
