Think very Marcia Brady. But it was 1970, after all. That dress is still good for a laugh to this day. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I'm not a fan of the parasols, but I think that's because I live in Seattle and I get quite enough of real umbrellas so that I don't wantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107146.post-56541694136188660442007-09-26T17:04:00.000-04:002007-09-26T17:04:00.000-04:00Yes, sad to say, I think we will all look back on ...Yes, sad to say, I think we will all look back on our wedding albums 30 years from now and think "oh, dear god, did we really wear that?!?" But let's hope that doesn't happen.<BR/><BR/>You know what's worse? We're going to look back at these photos 30 years from now and say "I looked so young/thin/unwrinkled/beautiful/etc back then." That, I think, is worse.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935909911303807021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107146.post-69146800336190249992007-09-26T09:51:00.000-04:002007-09-26T09:51:00.000-04:00My sister is right, that first picture is exactly ...My sister is right, that first picture is exactly like my mom's wedding. <BR/><BR/>I think that no matter what you do, you will think it was "silly" or "scary" or "tacky" or "weird" or "hideous" or something not favorable in 30 years. My mom looks at her wedding album and thinks it is pretty damn entertaining. The trick is to marry the right person (as my mom did) and have a wonderful life Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107146.post-1874497100395363122007-09-26T09:01:00.000-04:002007-09-26T09:01:00.000-04:00I was driving through Old Town Alexandria a few we...I was driving through Old Town Alexandria a few weeks ago and saw a wedding party with parasols. Only it was the guys holding the parasols, and all I could think about was how stupid they must be feeling. They were lavendar, too, I think.<BR/><BR/>I think if your BRIDESMAIDS were carrying parasols, it would be different and lovely, since you are having an outdoor wedding in a garden.

I think anything else might end up being the thing you cringe at.<BR/><BR/>You know what though? I say it's your day and do whatever the heck makes you smile at the moment. And if that's a paper parasol, you go girl!

If not it is seriously scary how similar they are. Did Michelle send you this picture? I'm not even kidding; that is EXACTLY what my Mom's bridesmaids wore.
