>Getting married Oct. 6th. It's a morning wedding, informal, guys and women in suits. Well, I took a big step this morning and ordered my wedding suit! And I ordered it in a 22- a year ago I would have been looking at a 30! I just into 22's now; I have a terrific seamstress on standby to make alterations in September, because I'm still losing, of course. I have been haunting the website,
www.womensuits.com for over a year. I was afraid if I didn't order now, the good ones would be gone. The off-white and ivory ones always go fastest. I ordered the matching hat too. Yup, bald may be beautiful, but not for a bride on her wedding day! Look for the off-white one with the diagonal rows of flowers/trim on the skirt...I think it looks very bridal!
> BTW, it is the first time for both of us. We're a couple of late bloomers, I guess!
>For us, the ceremony itself is the focal point. The entire choir is singing, we're having a small orchestra, strings and brass, with 2 organists. Why 2? That's how many it takes to replace my talented organist fiance'! (He's going to be a bit busy, you see.) Actually, one of his favorite composers is Flor Peeters; he was was also 51 when he got married, and had his 2 best students play. My processional is an arrangement of
Old One Hundredth. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow, indeed!
>Sorry, but you're going to get ALL the details! Cake is going to be yellow with an orange filling and a white Italian cream icing done in a basket weave pattern, 4 layers, decorated with Fall flowers- no corny topper! I'll only be able to eat one bite, but Henri will love it!
>I keep telling people it will be PB&J, family-style, at the reception, just going to put smooth and chunky, grape and strawberry on a lazy susan with some white and wheat. I think it sounds pretty good, but I guess we're going to settle for family-style Italian.
>Oh, no garter and no tossing the bouquet! I'm much too old for that stuff, and far too dignified!
>We weren't going to have a guest book, but then decided we better. At our age it won't be too long before we start having trouble matching faces and names!
At least I was able to order a 22!
