I had a sample size of bridesmaid dress shopping this weekend and I plainly admit to be boggled.
I had it easy. I made one trip to a boutique that was near closing time and didn't have to rifle through satin, silk, and tumults of taffeta. I looked at one panel of color swatches and offered my tyronic opinions. You like navy? Yellow is good. Those seams look like Charlie Brown's shirt. Good feedback right?
It's a lot of pressure finding something beautiful and appropriate...and then you have to think about the girls who are going to be wearing the dresses. Will they like them or will they be muttering for your head behind your back, swearing revenge on your veiled soul? Then you think think about the pictures. The pictures! We still don't have a photographer...oh man.
So while the search for gowns continues, I wait with great anticipation to find out what color tie I will be wearing. Isn't a tuxedo a wonderful thing? Did you know it's spelled cummerbund? Did you know there is no chance I will be wearing one?
The girls will look beautiful. The gentlemen will be dapper. The pictures will still be expensive.
Until next time. Keep it natty.
Your Homework!
Give us any feedback you can cull on people's honeymoons. We need suggestions, reviews, ideas, and generally anything that will help us figure out where to go. If we go where you suggest I will bring you back a souvenir from there. That's what's up.
