Midler told the outlet that she didn’t fall in love with her wedding dress as she simply chose “the first thing on the rack” to walk down the aisle in.
“I think I wore a very slim silhouette for my own wedding – it was pale gray and it had beads on it. It was not my favorite,” she said. “I was married in haste, and I just grabbed the first thing on the rack and I went.”
