Shrug it off....

I am being married by my uncles, both of whom are Catholic priests. Though it's not a general requirement of the church where we're being married, they have insisted since early on that my shoulders be covered. They can be covered with something, and I quote, "as thin as a spaghetti strap, just as long as they are covered." Well, since I haven't worn spaghetti straps since 1995, I decided this was not the time to bring them back. I am still on the hunt for the perfect little bridal shrug.

Could this be it?From englishdept on Etsy.

Love it! Such a cute idea...and way to deflect from the spaghetti-strap idea!

religion is crazy ...would god be offended by shoulders? lol

That shrug is adorable though. Maybe you should get it regardless :)

You find the most interesting wedding and non-wedding goods.

I like. It would even be good with a few less ruffles, for just a simple sheer effect.

funny, i'm also getting married by my two uncles who are priests! thought it was a unique situation until now.

they don't have a problem with the shoulders, my sister went strapless.

Good luck with the wedding planning! that shrug is gorgeous.
