Suzi, he'll be fine. Not a big deal at his age, and given the kind of kid he is.
I would love to do my wedding over just so we could all look a little spiffier. Me, especially. I look at my gown now and recoil in horror.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I still love my wedding gown. I would kind of like to rework it into a cocktail dress, but I never wear cocktail dresses, either, so I'm not sure that would be a useful transformation.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
These were the dresses for my wedding: [link]
I knew my girls would never wear them again, which is why I bought them at JC Penny's instead of David's AND used a 30% off coupon to buy all of them - they came to $80/each.

Mine was the first dress I tried on, it was cheap, and it was very 1988. Think vaguely GunneSax with lace in white, and you're there. So not me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I did end up with a bereavement fare, or a "compassion" fare from United, which was 10% off their published fare. Good enough.

That's not too bad, Dana.
Aims, those dresses are pretty! And I LOVE your dress. That's the sort of thing I'd pick for me if I were doing it now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I support that! They are lovely. Plus cheap! Perfect combination.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Erin!
I've been a bridesmaid twice. First time was my brother's wedding. All the bridesmaids wore a black, sleeveless, floor-length dress. Not too bad, even if I was a bit shorter and heavier than the other bridesmaids. The dress was cut down to cocktail length, and the excess fabric became a shawl. Second time my friend assigned colors to each of the bridesmaids(mine was green) and suggested something historical and dressy. I had bought, on a whim, an early Victorian-style ballgown, so I wore that.(I borrowed a set of hoops from another friend).
I didn't have bridesmaids at my wedding.

Matilda and I are back from Japantown where we snacked on Poky and I bought her a tiny novelty glass and some little rubber dogs (sixty cents each) and she climbed all the banisters and hand rails all while wearing her Little Batman costume, accessorized with sparkly pink shoes. It was a good look for those sorts of activities in Japantown.
