Fall Wedding Season

Love!  I love being witness to two people committing to each other for life.  Mid-Septembers we were lucky to be invited to a family friends beautiful wedding. It was a charming ceremony in which they gave each other the promise to love, respect and fight for one another for the reminder of their lives.   I don't cry or anything at weddings, but watching two individuals choose each other is beyond beautiful to me.  Maybe it's because I still feel like I would stand up there and look at Logan like that and do the promise all over again after 19 years.  Anyway, I didn't take a lot of pictures to be honest, because I was just  in the moment, but I did snap a few here and there.   Anyway, we enjoyed reconnecting not with the groom,  his bride, and his family, but also with good friends.  Once again, this was a first for many of us to gather since before COVID and many of us are busy with our own families, work, lives, but when we gather together it's like no time has passed at all.  I love lifelong friends more than I can say.

Since it was an absolutely gorgeous day, I wore my dress that I purchased in Italy for my 40th birthday and I have to tell you, I feel like the most beautiful woman when I wear it.  It gives me confidence in myself, where I am in life and  in recently turning 40.  What more can a woman want out of a dress? Obviously, it's not the dress, it's the growth I've done over the past 25+ years, but I do love it oh so much.  And, not only did I score on the dress, but I also splurged and got these studded, high heeled sandals that I adore.  I used to wear high heels all the time and you know what, I am so glad I didn't get another pair of "sensible" shoes or pumps, although I'll tell you these babies were relatively comfortable.  I was in them from 1 p.m., through the ceremony, mingling, dinner and then I danced until the early hours of the morning.  Not a problem.   I did have a light shawl to throw over during dinner, and if I was to go in the later part of fall, I would pair it up either with a leather jacket for an edgy look or a sleek trench coat.  My jewelry was  Hillberg and Berk in their merlot color that I get a ton of wear out of, so it's totally worth the splurge for me. 

I am so happy we had a chance to attend this wedding, as we are past the time of weddings these days, but it was wonderful to get a night out to celebrate a couple we truly believe in.

Do you have many weddings in this season of life?
