It's that time of year. The society pages in the paper are covered with photos of groups of beautiful young women in white gowns, looking like a large groomless group wedding.
Debutante balls and coming out parties are still alive and well in the South. Born and raised in Michigan, I have never experienced this tradition.
Is it only in the South? I don't ever remember seeing signs of it until I moved to SC in 1985, and now in Savannah. What do you think of them? Are they silly ancient class dividers? Or charming traditions steeped in history? Did you come out? (no, not the kind of coming out my DBIL did!
)
I don't really care either way, but I always wondered if those were actual bridal gowns or special ones that look just like them.
