Wedding News

Looks like there will be a wedding.  Very small, very paired down, open air with masks.  Kids are thinking it over before a final decision, but looks like BRUNCH WEDDING for the win.

This is a good idea.  Fits a more casual theme -- no dancing, little drinking.  The venue can be have an entire wall opened and with a huge covered porch.  The venue seats 200 and they are thinking less than 40 people.  About half the people are healthcare workers and will be vaccinated by then. 

Such a HUGE decision.  It still makes me a little sad for them.  So much planning and fun ideas down the drain.

Now back to ME ...

This solidifies my dress decision.  The dress I'm waiting to email a consultation about sizing would be PERFECT for an outdoor garden brunch.  It's a navy blue midi length floral with a sheer overlay.  What a different event -- different dress, doing my own hair, nails and makeup.  Wow. 

I need to figure out what to do with the original dress.  I plan to keep it and I definitely need it altered to cut off the train.  Not sure if I should do it there once the pandemic is under control or pick it up as is and worry about an alternation later.  If I did decide to sell it, it's best unaltered.  I don't see being able to recoup enough to make that worth while though.

The backup dress will be fine to attend a wedding so that's not an issue.  I want to get a rhinestone belt from Etsy to complete the look.  I might get that now just in case I need the backup dress.  Being prepared is my super power.

I'll post pictures and such since this will be the wedding channel starting soon.  Hair trials, makeup trials, dress try-ons.  Stay tuned ... 

All this wedding stuff has me NERVOUS.  That's a new emotion lately.  Not exactly worry, but sort of worry-excitement.  Like a "fun" anticipation.  This is a Mt. Everest of looking-like-a-lady ... if I can pull this off, a miracle will be to thank.  It'll go down as one of my top accomplishments ... right there with packing ONLY a carry-on for 2 weeks in Europe.

Such a cliff hanger -- can you feel the suspense?  It's all about the ending.  Stick the landing :)

Stay well.  Later gators.
