Your prince has come in: Disney offers Princess gowns for big-girl weddings

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/31/57458426_aa3928f464.jpg?v=0For years, the Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) properties have hosted weddings, developing a healthy business in putting the fairy tale touches on the magical day. Now, it has partnered with fashion designer Kirstie Kelly to offer a line of wedding gowns patterned after those of their most popular characters.

Among the icons featured in this line are Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine from Aladdin and the little mermaid Ariel. Disney plans to offer 34 designs in total for the introductory year. The line will be unveiled during Bridal Week in New York in April.

Disney has already struck gold with its line of character-inspired clothing and accessories for children, now selling close to $3.5 billion a year.

No mention was made of any garb for the groom, however. Why are we denied the chance to be wed wearing Prince Charming's natty sash, or that long, sleek sword of Sleeping Beauty's beau, or anyone's crown, even. Can't we at least get a frickin' crown?
