Botox. Teeth whitening. Skin peels. Boob Jobs. According to ther Herald Tribune - Bridesmaid's or attendant gifts of jewelry or knickknacks have gone by the wayside. It would seem that group manicures have gone the way of the wedding night pep talk as today’s brides are more and more often brightening their wedding party with some pretty serious and extensive work.
