Someone once inquired about her identity through the “Ask Katy” feature on Duran Duran’s official website and received this verbatim reply: “ THE BAND SAYS THEY ONLY REMEMBER THAT SHE WAS AN LOS ANGELES BASED MODEL AND THEY COULDN’T RECALL HER NAME. Vague internet chatter gives her name as Virginia Anne Douglas, though I’ve found no reliable source to corroborate that. The identity of the model playing the bride remains a mystery. Juliette of the Spirits features a wide variety of striking hats, all of which could easily double as lampshades. Director Nick Egan claims he was inspired by a bow-laden Armani dress, adding, “The stylist who made the wedding dress has had more requests to re-create that dress than anything else she has ever done.”Įgan goes on to say he took inspiration for the bride’s strange headwear from Fellini’s Juliette of the Spirits, “…and not, as some surmised, from a lampshade.” Per Egan, the whole look of the video was inspired by Fellini, which makes sense most of the time, the Durans seem to be living inside their own dazzlingly surreal Fellini film. Of the dress, no less reputable a source than Paris Vogue once boldly proclaimed that “the bride embodies elegant Nineties bridal fashion.” I’ll take your word for it, Paris Vogue. The bride is wearing a strapless white satin gown, gathered in front with a preposterous meter-wide bow across the bosom, paired with an extraordinarily odd chapeau with doodads dangling from the brim. If I were at this wedding reception, I’d gravitate toward him. The bride is stunning the groom is splendidly lanky and geeky, flashing a thoroughly charming braces-laden smile. Let’s see what I can do with it:Ī bride and groom pose for photos in Pasadena’s Huntington Gardens, while the band members mill about the grounds. That doesn’t give me all that much to Duranalyze, compared to, say, John is set upon by Caribbean zombies, who start tearing his clothes off, or Post-apocalyptic mutants capture the band members and force them to submit to various homoerotic bondage scenarios, or Simon blows stuff up while Andy flat-out murders Nick on the Eiffel Tower. Nevertheless, it’s an awfully nice video. Here’s the storyline: A bride wanders around a sun-drenched garden while the band members look moody and beautiful in elegant suits. The video, which was nominated for an MTV VMA in 1993 for Best Cinematography, was directed by artist Nick Egan, who also collaborated with the band on the videos for “White Lines”, “Perfect Day”, “All You Need Is Now”, and the recent “ Pressure Off.” It’s a lovely video, filled with beautifully composed visuals the only reason it’s taken me five years to get around to this Duranalysis is because it has only the barest bones of a narrative driving it. Nick often speaks in Zen kōans peppered with bon mots, like a Vivienne Westwood-garbed Buddhist monk after a few glasses of champagne.

Thank you, Nick, that cleared the matter right up. Here’s a splendid quote from Nick on the subject: “You know, it is NOT really called The Wedding Album, even though it is called The Wedding Album”.

One self-titled album per band is plenty, even for Duran Duran. “Ordinary World” was the first single released off of Duran Duran’s 1992 self-titled album, which, because Duran Duran already had a self-titled album, is more often known as The Wedding Album.
