My mother is a calm woman. She is not your typical mother, and I love her for that. Both she and I rarely get giddy and it would not be to far off the mark to say she has a fine wit and a clever use of sarcasm. Therefore I have been surprised at her actions and reactions at the thought of her oldest child getting married. I knew she would be happy, I just didn’t realize to what extent and what change that would bring to her. Enough for me to question if she has been replaced by a pod person.
I will start to track this behavior.
Yesterday she calls me. I say good morning and she yells in the phone.
I think October is too cold for a wedding, make it September.
I indicate she is probably right and that we had picked October because another friend was getting married in September. We discovered that no they are getting married in July, therefore we would prolly pick September depending on availability. she said “good, bye” and then hung up on me.

And so it begins….
And then there’s that friend of yours, who keeps insisting the bridal party wear fairy wings http://anniescostumes.com/fantasy.htm. But, you weren’t really shocked by that, were you?
Keep joking, I will SEE YOU in fairy wings .. and I have changed my mind about the taffeta, now it will be “Satinell. Just like Satin but not!
The best thing about fairy wings (though if you insist on them, i can direct you to a really pretty/artsy supplier) is that you can get them made to slip into a corset and thus look more ‘real’, as opposed to being strapped on with webbing, which always looked rather uncomfortable to me.
a woman wore the giant blue ones on that page to our recent Fairy Tale Ball; she looked lovely, but was a pain in the ass to dance with/near, as she didn’t know how to manage them at all.
This is a wedding. Neither comfort nor fashion are a real concern in any practical way. I say Satinell taffeta fairy wings corsetted on accessorized with velvet hoods and really tiny shoes with spike heels. And sequins, millions of sequins. Billions.
You all scare me. And I can only have revenge on Julie and her bridemaid outfit. So I am scared and powerless. Damn.
Frankly, I think comfort at a wedding is very important. For example, I skipped underwear in the name of comfort.
Kim – with 500 layers of skirt & corset, yes, that or split drawers is the only option.
Umm, I am wearing underwear. I dont care how many layers there ends up being.
Um, I think my choices for bride’s maids stuff was comfortable. Kinda hot, though, if I remember right. I am sure that whatever you pick will be nice. Just don’t let whomever is making the gowns decide that one style fits all. Because, really, unless you go medieval, it really doesn’t.
*shudders and remembers horrible dresses she had to wear as a bride’s maid.*
And I love your mom.
LOL.
