The wedding was lovely - the vows they wrote themselves had geek references and made this old romantic's heart go awwww. The venue was outside an friend's 1850's house way out on the outer edge of Sydney. Probably not quite in it to be accurate. (from LtoR: groomsman, groom, bride, photographer and bridesmaid)
Here's the lovely couple
With their cake (I got to eat the silvery bits)
and 3 of us a the other end of the marquee
It's been a long wait for their wedding - so it must seem even longer for them. Getting the visa approved (he's a canuck) took quite some time. Wishing them all the very best things for their life together.
I have to admit I didn't even try to get the Lekala bolero sewn. I no longer want the stress of such a tight deadline sewing, so I'm going to have to learn some new time management for projects. I ended up going for more glamour - fur stole & hat - and cleavage to distract from my newer body shape (PCOS belly).
Sewing with a deadline is definitely stressful. I was asked recently if I would sew for someone for pay. I politely declined because I know I would not be happy doing it because of the deadlines.
ReplyDeletePCOS - ugh! Your outfit is very pretty and flattering.
It's like I developed a sudden constant not quite early preggers shape and I haven't figured out how to dress in a way that I like myself looking. :( Girl parts are stupid!
DeleteI'm used to sewing with a deadline, but I no longer like the adrenaline stress rush. It makes me feel sick not motivation-on-fire that it used to. Ah well, I'll still make the pattern up.
Ms Wendy - you look divine.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you. The one thing I have going is curves,so play to strengths as a distraction
