This weekend I’m going to a wedding. As those of you who know me, you will know I LOVE weddings. I guess I love weddings because it is a chance to look nice, drink champagne, dance to silly music and get teary eyed (not necessarily in that order). Also you have to remember, I can also enjoy weddings without being reminded of my own wedding planning hell. As I never have been married, I never had to deliberate on whether I wanted gerbera daisies or tulips for the centrepieces and what keep-sake would be least offensive and inexpensive.
Last year, I attended six weddings. This year i was only invited to two. Unfortunately, the first one – Martina and Steve- got married in Slovakia while J and I were visiting Canada last month. That is why when Val (yes, Vietnam Val!) told me she was getting married Idid everything to make sure I could attend.
I’m still busy trying to figure out the last few details. One of which is what to wear. It is a bit tricky as Val has been slightly vague about wedding attire. It’s up north Canada and sounds very casual. I’m tending towards wearing the green dress below with silver sandals (worn 2 years ago at Deborah and Roberto’s wedding). However, I still have the gray dress (worn to 3 weddings last year) and the blue dress worn to the Webby’s.
Any other suggestions for what I suspect is an outdoor wedding in Bala Bay Inn? (shoes need to be considered)
First of all, you are beautiful. I think the green dress is best– the Webbies one is cute, but too urban-looking. You know I adore the grey one, but I think it looks best with those shoes and they will not work as well at an outdoor wedding (despite your having worn them to G&K’s in the rain!). The green dress is perfect: dressy enough, yet also fits well with an outdoor setting and looks great with flats. Your Lilly White’s sandals or your square-toed ballet flats would be great with it.
Can’t wait to see you.
Hi YYZ, I have a little tiny treat for you/us. I hope you’re ok. I’m smiling at Luke in the pics below.
Oh, yeah– Luke! I forgot. I made a list of all kinds of things about him and I forgot to list “Luke” as one of his nicknames.
I’m not okay, really, but there’s nothing to be done about it, is there?
