Viva la Vera (and happy couples)
I have to say...I went to a fantastic wedding last night. I wasn't exactly looking forward to it, for a multitude of reasons...social anxiety with old classmates, making sure the bf felt at ease amongst the upper crust, not to mention my first wedding since I called mine off. The ceremony was pleasant and inspired...I loved the mix of Western and Hindi traditions...it seemed to fit.
But lord, the reception was fabulous...I can honestly say it was everything that I dreamed for my own reception. Lovely buffet and lighting and dancing. Really fantastic and really classy. Really everything I want some day. Admittedly. Except with gardenias...and a fancier cake. (What? I'm a girl who loves a good cake.)
Words cannot even describe how I felt about the dress. It took my breath away. I am very very picky when it comes to wedding attire, but Mimi's Vera Wang was like nothing I've ever seen. I wish my phone didn't crap because I really wanted to take some pictures.
I'd say I wasn't in my element. But I was. I actually had a really good time, though I got a little drunk and emotional afterwards. I think I used to be such a loser back in high school because I was so shy and nerdy and antisocial, but over the years I've loosened up and I've found I really enjoy those kind of gatherings. Funny how after high school ends, 5 years later, everyone is kind of on the same page. I guess being of age to drink at those kind of parties helps loosen everyone up. So that's that.
So B and I...I got very nervous last night...reluctant to invite him to the wedding, but happy to show him off once he got there. It's always weird bringing a guy into a situation he's not used to. I'm sure I'll be the same way when he meets the rest of my family. So the guy doesn't own a blazer...if that's the biggest problem, I think we're gonna be okay. When the money comes back...I'll class up his wardrobe. There will always be more weddings and the occasional country club function to go to. What loving girlfriend wouldn't want her man to look dressed up and stunning? ;)
We're both scared about moving in together. The honeymoon glimmer is wearing off and I know my cracks are starting to show. But he assured me that he wasn't going anywhere and neither am I.
And now...some designer lust. i would love to get this to wear at my soon-to-have office job. On sale at Nordie's right now. Of course, the 6s and 8s disappeared immediately. Wish I could afford it...I haven't bought a new dress in over a year.
