Just another outfit plea


Dearest ESB,

I never thought I would get married - it was never important for me. Then I met X. He wanted to get married so I wanted to get married. He loves the idea I wasn't losing anything as I didn't think marriage was important but he was missing out - not that he would ever have said anything) - so many years later we are getting married!

We have planned two (TWO!) weddings. Down to a T. Both have had to be cancelled due to various things (family). So I have planned a secret wedding. For him. One that will actually happen. Just the two of us. Seriously - our photographers are acting as witnesses. X hates summer - so we are getting married half way across the world. In Scotland. Outside. In winter (Feb '12). We are talking 5 degrees celsius. On a good day. That's about 40F. I have ordered him a suit, organized venue, celebrant, photographers, flowers and everything else. Rings are done. Blah blah blah. Sorted.

The thing is after planning two weddings, and now a third I am tired and bride'd out. Plus it is going to be cold and outside and hopefully snowing - I just don't know what the f*** to wear (except for two pairs of black opaque stockings and a pair of hunter wellies). 

I am tall and broad and daring (and about a size 8-10, size 11 feet, and have a sweet rack). I just want to be a total fox.

This Vanessa Bruno would really show off that sweet rack.

But I dunno about the wellies. Aren't wellies with a wedding dress sorta 2010?

Dear ESB: Please do the icky part for me.


I'm getting married in September 2012 in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The ceremony is going to be on the beach. I am having about 100 guests (I think) and am having a lot of trouble figuring out the reception. This is a budget wedding, I want good food, laid back reception. No banquet halls, restaurants are looking expensive...any ideas? Looking forward to your guidance

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS?

I'm not a fucking wedding planner.
