Her barbarian grandmother literally forged her a proper Barbarian-tribe substitute dress: traditional Valkyrie-ish armor. Just when it looked as though Brittany would actually have to wear that, her arch-mage dad conjured a magical wedding dress out of a dream: perfect in every way. She was, of course, overjoyed.

* Christine wears a gorgeously ornate wedding dress, complete with a train, floor-length veil, and lace spiralling up the skirt, in the final scene of ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]''. Unfortunately for her, though, she's only wearing it because her [[Stalker ~~With~~ a Crush]] the Phantom ''made'' her do so as part of his [[Scarpia Ultimatum]], so she has rather more pressing matters on her mind than looking like a princess.
