The spectacular wedding gown worn by Muriel (Toni Collette) features a low neckline, highly decorated bodice, ornate lace sleeves and a full skirt with a modest train in heavy ivory satin. The headpiece adds a touch of regal class to the traditional veil, through which we can still see Muriel’s wide grin. While the expression on the groom’s face is not what a normal bride would expect to see, by this point in the film we are in no doubt that Muriel is not a normal bride.
