Mother of the Bride: The Dream, the Reality, the Search for a Perfect Dress . When Ilene Beckerman told us the story of her clothes in Love, Loss, and What I Wore, she captivated women of all ages. Her story moved people to tears and made us laugh out loud, too. Ilene–”Gingy,” as she’s known–showed us ourselves.
