I am determined to finish this and I promise I will never put you through this again.
The Dress, that month of work-on top of all the other work.
Putting together a wedding on your own...a whole other part of you just rises to the surface. It's kind of like that movie "Basket Case". When else do I go to Macy's... to shop???? ( I can't stand Macy's) and buy 5 pairs of shoes just to try? Then buy 2 more on 34th street in a fit of panic. (6 hours of returns) When else does my better-half get even more involved than me in planning a party menu & insisting on the (amazing) chef & trekking over to Chinatown on the subway to buy, lord knows, how many pounds of shrimp, so the menu is absolutely perfect?
Not a lot of places in life where collaboration is quite like this, this is theater. Starting at the top...
Invite:
Cake:
Ring- for the groom...
Shoes:
 |
| ....the heels risk getting stuck in between roof tiles |
 |
| ... another shape, but not what I am going for |
 |
perfect style tor my Titania like dress... but do they have the color???
Aldo Shoes, which amazingly makes shoes in my size. |
Hair:

| a pouf to match my dress...by Kelly at Santanica |
And of course the chef, the wonderful John Berninzoni, formerly of Chanterelle.
