Vanessa Minnillo: ‘Wedding dress shopping was sad without mother’
Vanessa Minnillo has admitted that shopping for her wedding dress was a ‘sad’ experience because she had to do it without her mother. The 30-year-old newlywed, who married Nick Lachey in a private island ceremony earlier this month, has not had any contact with her birth mum for the last 20 years. She said that it really hit her when she was looking for her bridal dress. “Normally this is something you do with your mother, and my birth mother hasn’t been in my life since I was nine,” she told People magazine. “I have been okay with that up until now but for some unexplained reason, it really overtook me. I felt lost, confused and sad. It was very emotional. “This was the hardest decision in the whole wedding planning… probably because I didn’t have the support of Nick. We decided everything together, even his tux. For the first time, I felt a little bit alone.” But with help from her matron of honour, friend Jennifer Birmingham-Lee, and a few suggestions from Nick, she worked with Monique Lhuillier to find her dream dress.
