Our wedding clothes arrived today!

[bertha katzenengel]

For me, a suit of royal blue "peachskin" (that's the fabric): a very simple, long-sleeved top, with a v-neck and a little embroidery, and pants of the same color

For Mrs. V., a stunning black tunic, beaded in black, with purple and blue sequins, with which she will wear a flowing black skirt.

Now all we need are shoes and undermentionables. I asked a dear friend, who gave me invaluable advice about where to find good wedding clothes, if I should buy a girdle. After she stopped laughing she said, "shaper. They're "shapers" now." :shrug: I wear jeans and t-shirts! Who knew?

Can't wait! Shelby & Tom's wedding is on Feb. 18 -- IN CALIFORNIA!

:bounce:

BTW - I haven't unwrapped my suit yet -- what is "peachskin"?

1. I have no idea what peachskin is, but in my mind's eye...

I pictured a brushed silk texture.

In my opinion, a girdle is still a girdle no matter what you call it. ;)

2. Your clothes sound wonderful!

I have NO idea what "peachskin" is!

*sigh* When do you plan to be back? Meeting you is high on my list of priorities!

3. July 29 - August 4

Maybe longer if Mrs. V. can get two weeks off. I plan to take in several Angels' games - that is the purpose of the trip. So we will have the opportunity in just a few months!

4. Maybe I will be out there by then too!

I would love to go to an Angel game with you and Mrs V!

7. DIG IT!

I was actually thinking of finding out if a collection of DUers would like to take in a game. I'm sure we could get our name up in lights. Wouldn't THAT be fun, in the center of Orange County? :evilgrin:

9. That would so totally rock!

:woohoo:

:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. OH GOOD!

I'm sure we can put something together then! I CANNOT fucking wait!

*pardon me....*

[bertha katzenengel]

10. At least you didn't say "pardon my French."

My manager at work is French-Canadian and has quite a pronounced accent. If she utters the mildest profanity, she says "pardon my French" and I miss a beat every time. It cracks me up coming from her.

I can't wait too, Peggy dear. ;)

8. Angels' schedule

Three with Oakland July 31-Aug. 2 (the last one's a day game; 12:35 p.m.) then four with Texas (day games Saturday and Sunday). Then they go on the road.

But you prolly already checked, huh?

[bertha katzenengel]

11. LOL Yep, I did.

That's why I chose that week -- A's and Rangers. :hi:

13. I woulda picked Seattle

so I could saunter down to the visitors' bullpen and say hello to Jeff Nelson. Haven't seen him since the last day of the 1987 season, when I shot he and Collette's wedding.

5. Peachskin, from what I've noticed,

is usually a soft brushed material(like the way a peach feels).
And you should buy a shaper/girdle. They can make all the difference in the way a outfit fits and looks on you. Go for one in a fleshtone-it's your best bet. Make sure you handwash it and it will last you for years to come.

[bertha katzenengel]

12. I will, I will, I will.

Thank you for the advice. I was going to buy a black one but can see how fleshtone would be best.

Thanks! :hi:

[xmas74]

14. You're welcome.

Fleshtone is the best since you will be able to wear it w/ anything. And it will make your figure look fabulous-perfect Coke bottle, if done properly.
An additional word of advice-go to a fitter. Don't pick it up off the rack somewhere. They will make sure that it fits perfectly in all the right places on you.

[Dangerously Amused]

15. Your outfits sound divine.

Be sure to post a pic from when you wear them!

16. Damn - I thought you meant YOUR wedding.

Some friends of mine went to Toronto last year and made their 25+year relationship official. Then they posted their photo in the local paper (deep in the red-part of WI). :thumbsup:
