While on the train somewhere between Paris and Provence I shifted gears and went from bittersweetness mood to full wedding list-making mode. Though instead of tackling the list of do's to do before July sixth, the minute I came home we went for an impromptu dinner in our friend's backyard. Cool summer evenings where the light is perfection until 10:30ish.
I am still undecided about a dress, even though my friend Francoise made one for me that I love, my nieces said it looks like a potato sack… sorry Francoise, it has nothing to do with you or your impeccable sewing, it has everything to do about my style choice of wear baggy clothing.
While in Paris this weekend I must have walked in and out of fifty or so dress shops. I saw plenty of beautiful dresses but either they were the wrong color, didn't fit the occasion, to long, too short, to low cut, to frilly, to this, to that… I might be wearing a black dress.
My Mom and older niece Patti arrive the 28th, HOW EXCITING!!
I have a few things to do yet my panic level is at the brim.
…
At the pizza truck the other evening Yann met our neighbor who happened to say his son was getting married, Yann chimed in that our daughter was marrying too. When Yann asked him when and where the wedding was taking place he found out that they are marrying at the same church on the same day an hour before Chelsea and Martin.
What are the odds of that happening?
And an hour before?
How does one set up a wedding five minutes before the guests arrive?
Maybe we can use the same decor?
Spontaneous, last minute, in a pinch strike my creativity this is the ultimate challenge.
Chelsea and Martin want only candles and olive branches.
Sounds easy enough.
