Viveca's wedding dress has a name: Gaia.  It's lovely.  Layers of sea green silk chiffon, cap sleeves, an empire waist, an asymetrical A-line skirt with the suggestion of a train.  I forget the designer's name; Ianni something.  He's someone Viveca knows from the Hellenic Fashion Designers Association.  It arrived at the apartment from Athens yesterday, and Minnie has pressed it and hung it on the door of Viveca's closet.
