weddings
 

uuuugh
i hate them.
my dad's getting married in april...he and i are on better terms now but not the greatest terms. i'm not looking forward to this however. the only reason i ever turn up at weddings is for the free booze. i always end up changing clothes 3 times beforehand as well.

your opinions on weddings and or stories.

i enjoy the reception, but not the ceremony

I never been to one, I am finally going to one at the end of December. My brother is getting married.

the reception is usually okay, because you can gather with people you like at one corner of the room...the ceremony is undoubtedly agonizing.
i do have an idea of what i'll wear, though. either:
white gauze babydoll dress (spaghetti strap)
wood soled platform shoes
a daisy in my hair
OR
long red velvet slip from france
god knows what shoes, i'm sure i'll end up taking them off anyway.

i forgot to mention i'll also be gaining step siblings who i've learned to get along with better but at least i don't have to live with them.

weddings usually suck.

go with the red velvet. unless you plan on changing your hair color again before the wedding...if so, then post pics and consult with me.

weddings are fun if you like your family...or the crowd youre with...ive only been to family weddings...

unless i plan on changing my hair color? i'll probably go with the white one. my hair will be long again by then and wavy and i'll feel like a sprite. and hell no am i getting rid of the blonde.

Maybe I'm just gaytarded, but I thought you weren't supposed to wear white to someone else's wedding.

alex has a point

i suppose you're right, but it would look so pretty. and i'm not sure my soon to be step mother's dress is going to be white.

You're not supposed to wear white?

i think your skin tone would be better with color

my mom always tells me i look washed out in white. my skin is as white as skin can get.

most people do

But you don't want to be an anorexic snowman, do you?

[in my best Tim Gun voice]

I think the contrast of a red dress with your skin would look just stunning.

tan girls look really pretty in white.

i personally think this would look good, i look good in magenta and it's a bit less obvious than blood red.

That is a nice dress.

i'm scanning through all the files of shit i've bought on ebay now to see if i can avoid buying another dress i don't need.

wouldn't it be hilarious if i showed up in some old ratty t shirt and a pair of jeans?

a slightly tanned Liz Hurley looks good in white...

You always look good, so if I were you I'd just not wear white. I'm not sure of the wedding etiquette. If it isn't the first wedding for either of them, the bride might not wear white, but who really pays attention to that shit anyway. Just be safe and don't go with white. Because it seems tacky to wear it to someone else's wedding regardless of what wedding it is, who's wearing what, etc...

yeah i suppose you're right about the white

how's this one? i look good in purple.

get that magenta dress. or sew something yourself. i've been sewing a lot of my old long skirts into cool thigh length dresses.

man that's no dress, that's some hot nightgown shit or something

I would go for the other dress.

yeah it is. it's from bebe.




i would wear these with either dress. unless i find something else in my wardrobe (and yes, it is a fucking wardrobe) somewhere, i'll probably wear the purple one because it's velvet and i look prettier in purple and it laces up the back.

sexy shoes tank girl

yeah i know, they remind me of disco.

I like it, but it does seem like something that you'd wear to bed. The back is pretty enough though to redeem it, maybe?

Maybe if you had a matching jacket thing with it? Nah.

I don't know. My fashion knowledge is callow and limited.

it looks better on. it's not as short as you might think.

how tall are you cantanka

5'7"

it's your dad's wedding
the dress doesn't seem appropriate

but then again, what do I know?

that's the perfect heel wearing height. i'm 5'10'' and will never be able to wear heels without looking like a crazy person and looking down on everybody. i wish i could though, cause somehow i keep buying more and more of them

i don't think anyone would mind. or expect anything less from me.

i wish i was like 5'3". i'll be like 5'11 in those heels

this is so gorgeous and would probably be slightly more "appropriate" for my daddy's wedding...the purple one, not the green one. same shoes.

did you see the 2nd purple velvet one?

then it's settled!
oooh it will look so pretty with my amethyst ring.
anyway this thread wasn't supposed to be "shit, what am i gonna wear?" until someone mentioned that thing about wearing white. who has horror stories?

edit
i just ordered all the shit. final.

i know what you mean by all that. i wonder if this means my dad is finally growing up, because he and my mom never married and he wasn't the one who took care of me or raised me. i still saw him but i never had the same kind of relationship with him and his side of the family as i do with my mom and her side of the family.

at this point if my boyfriend asked me to marry him i would probably agree to it but i'm not ever going to push it on him because i don't care if i ever get married.

hahha
