It's been a couple of years since I've been invited to a wedding that I was able to attend. This past weekend I had the pleasure of going to the wedding of one of my former students with whom I've since become friendly through a book club. Mark and I took the opportunity to get a little bit gussied up for the occasion.

After a mostly grey and rainy week, Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding -- sunny and warm (80 degrees). I felt like I had fully restocked my body's supply of Vitamin D after my long run that morning and the wedding that afternoon. Elise was a radiantly happy bride.
Since Elise requested guests not take photos during the ceremony, I put my phone away and don't have a lot of shots. It was a sweet wedding with some cute Star Wars themed and other charming details, including a tree planting. They had set up a large Chewy cutout with which guests could take pictures before and after the ceremony. The processional was the Star Wars theme song. Their officiant made several references to the force.
Have you attended any weddings recently? Do you enjoy "dressing up"?
It's nice to see the full dress after the preview on Instagram! That is such a cool and unique dress! Love it, and the accessories you picked go so well with it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any weddings to go to in a couple of years (except my own), but I'm a huge fan of dressing up for them.
I always really enjoy attending weddings. Aside from my opera season tickets they are really the only "events" that I ever go to --- and I love a chance to dress up (sadly no really dresses up for the opera (I mean a few do but mostly it's just business attire) so I like to go all out for weddings).

That dress is so cute! You guys look great! The last wedding we attended was in June. It was an outdoor wedding on a hot and humid day so Phil went fairly casual and wore bermuda khaki shorts and a button down and I wore a pink dress. It was at a lake resort in Wisconsin so he did not look out of place dressed down. :) Our next wedding is Labor Day weekend and I am hoping to wear a salmon colored dress that I recently got on sale at Banana Republic. It's kind of form fitting, though, so I need to try it on closer to the event to make sure it still looks ok. Managing my weight on reduced activity has been HARD!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking that dress!! Looks like a beautiful wedding!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous! What a great dress -- is it going to Madrid with you?
