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. Now Gingy looks at one of life’s happiest (and most stressful) events: the planning of a daughter’s wedding.
