A First-Run Gown

Anna Maria Horsford, who plays Thelma Frye on NBC's "Amen," will approach the TV altar in her third attempt to wed fiance Reuben Gregory, played by Clifton Davis, on Feb. 3. But don't expect to see the same wedding dress twice. Nothing about this episode is a rerun, not even the gown. This time it's a pale pink, beaded, cathedral-length, $3,000 gown by Demetrios from Renee Strauss's Beverly Hills bridal salon. Would a repeat gown be considered a breach of etiquette? Strauss insists it wouldn't. "I was engaged to be married a few years ago, and canceled the wedding three days before it was to occur. A year later, I met a wonderful man and we became engaged. I couldn't afford to buy another dress. There's nothing tacky about that. It's just a fashion garment."
