I went.

er, certain bits of me were smaller than when i tried on the dress, or so it seemed, i think the beads stretched the fabric so it wasn't *quite* as good of a fit.

Also, its FREEEEEZING here so I had to exchange my cute strappy shoes for ankle boots (which are now the most exxy shoes I've ever bought, and they are only Hush Puppies!) and add a brown velvet jacket as matching black to black was tricky!

The nicest bit was the wedding ceremony, I was the only non-native speaker there, and the guy did about 1/3rd of it in English for me I was so touched! It was lovely!

The bestest bit (quite different to the nicest bit) was all the boys in suits! My goodness it should be mandatory for men to at least wear jackets on a regular basis, they were all gorgeous!

So here are a few piccies

EDIT: attach pics is un-workies.

Amen to that sista!...amazing how they expect us to look a Billion but wont make the effort to look a thousand .

And to yourself!

you worked so hard and went through such trials and entrapment with over those shoes ! Oh well, least the toesies were warm that's important!!!

^_^

I looked a bit clodhopperish, but you gotta make sacrifices

I stood behind people in photos so you couldn't see

BTW, do you like the hair? I got it cut the day before at this place called Hardy's and they were so cool. I dozed off with a head massage and threw caution to the wind when the lady offered a blow dry I looked chic! until the wind came up, and then (in the words of Billy Connelly) I looked windswept and interesting It wasn't a haircut, it was an 'experience'!
Considering its been a long time between drinks for me, i figure I was due an experience.

Oh, and the flower was the sign for close family and friends, girls wearing it facing down, boys facing up. I tried not to think too much about it else i'd probably have found a nice vase for it somewhere

Looks like your "look" came together fantastically . Glad you had a good time!

Excellent Abbey!! Glad you're happy /:'

Hair's hot. Great pic. Jacket's a tops match (kudos from the accessory queen)

apropos jackets... I swoon for a man in a suit.

Hope for more pix soonish!

Take care.

Suits?

* Shakes head *

Now if you were to suggest as male wedding attire full mediaeval jousting armour, or the kind of flamboyant garb beloved of certain Victorian painters, I'd nod in agreement.

But the mere mention of the word 'suit' brings forth for me less than happy memories of office politics in drab surroundings with even more drab personalities. Suits are what politicians wear. Suits are the uniform of those for whom the Dilbert comic strips are a soul-sucking reality of mindless tedium punctuated by arbitrary capriciousness, Byzantine intrigues and back-stabbing. Whoever invented The Suit should, in a just universe, be spending all of eternity as a photocopier as a penance.

I can't even get excited about tuxedos. While women have the entire rainbow to choose from, and a veritable cornucopia of styles, what do we have? Overpriced monochrome 'bleh' that makes most wearers look like deformed penguins.

If I ever take the trip up the altar, I'm doing it in full jousting regalia, and turning up at the church astride a white stallion. Or dressed as D'Artagnan from the Three Musketeers. Or in a toga. ANYTHING but a suit.

when i tried on the tux for my own wedding, the girl at the shop was TOTALLY checking me out. i will have to disagree with you cali, as bad a connotation as "suit" might have, it seems that a well tailored one most definitely drives women crazy, imho

I am reminded at this point Moondog, of a somewhat tasteless joke, variants of which you have probably heard ...

Q. What do you call [insert your favourite 'love to hate' category in here] in a suit?

A.. The Accused.

I was always told to be myself. I'am the outdoors kind of guy so a suit isn't me. I don't wear suits to go camping or hiking and I don't wear jeans and t-shirts to weddings or funerals.
