+1

We went to a wedding yesterday. Two of Dave's coworkers, Yusuf and Colleen, were marrying. (Yes, each other.) Dave doesn't work directly with either of them, but he does play games on his lunch hour with them, so he was invited. I, of course, came along as his +1.

The pic above is part of the little favors given to guests, a small tin of m&m candies, personalized with the names of the happy couple and the date of the event. Very tasty. Just by chance, the colors of my dress, the green and purple job, turned out to be the exact color theme the bride chose for her wedding. In fact, the green of the m&m's were the same color as the trim on my dress, the same dress I decided makes me look like an eggplant. (Well, at least I tried wearing color.)

See? Here's a pic of me trying to decide which color hose to wear with the dress.



(I was wearing the light gray hose and I put the black hose over, which looks awful, but it was a fast and dirty way to make a decision about which to wear. Of course, I decided on the gray hose, then changed my mind and wore the black ones. I should've stuck with the gray, but something about the light colored hose made me think my legs looked thick as tree trunks. Blurgh. See, if I had just worn all black, it wouldn't have even been a problem.)

So, want a photo of the happy couple?

Here they are:



Sorry, it's not the best photo ever, but I don't know if they would want their faces plastered all over my blog--and also it was the one photo I have that shows the following: The groom's mother (Jamila, I think was her name) and the little teepee that the bride made as a child that was presented to her by her father during his toast. (He was a sweet guy, I think, bringing that little project with him to the wedding to present to his daughter.)

We ate well, drank well, and had fun. That's more than a +1 has a right to expect, I imagine.
