Sometimes celebrities rise to the occasion and surprise you. I should have learned that lesson in my days slaving as a publicist for famous faces like Tyra and Vanessa.  But as our wedding approached this past June, the thing that worried me most was not the weather or my mother-in-law, but the behavior of our diva bridesmaid.  Frida had acted out at her last dress fitting and seemed unhappy by the level of chaos in our home.  Come wedding day, however, she put all that behind her and put on quite the show.  With the crowd admiring her purple brocade and orange taffeta outfit (designed by KO Couture, styling by Valerie/Critter Outfitter), she truly became our own perfect Pippa.  Here then is a look at our nuptials through Frida’s eyes.
