Um, am I a bad and shallow person if I find this image kinda hot? [link]
Wow. He really does have Rock Star going on, doesn't he? (I'm still pissed at him for the "periodically when she's feeling down" potshot at Clinton, though.)
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those long dresses look so weird. They are appropriate for prom and black-tie only. You should be allowed a short dress!
Seriously -- are all the men wearing tuxes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
FWIW my putative MOH can wear whatever she wants.
Good to know.
Maybe I am a cowgirl after all.
Post marked.
I wish I had time to go through the dress pics, but instead I have to go to the meeting from hell which is every day. EVERY DAY. Wait, or do I have to go to the meeting which is cut off by the meeting from hell which is every day?
Either way, I'm about to be late.

Um, I don't know, but probably.
This is a Midwestern wedding, you guys. The bridal party is formal! I can't be the only one with a cocktail-length skirt or my family will talk about it for YEARS.

Don't all the men in the wedding party usually wear tuxes?
Or maybe, like Shrift said, I'm used to that as a Midwestern Thing. Tuxes, expensive/useless/ugly/Prom-y bridesmaid dresses.

I've been to several weddings where the bride and groom were the only people actually in formal wear. Then the groomsmen wear suits and the bridesmaids don't necessarily wear gowns.

She doesn't know all the bridesmaids. I assume most of them are the bride's friends/relatives.

Scheduling and lack of energy never means we aren't friends. FWIW.
I know. I just feel like I've been being crap at it on all ends. Mostly I'm just overtired, cranky, and impossible to please.
Perhaps I should have a side of fries for lunch, since I am skipping the first meeting that would be curtailed by TMFH.

I hear you, shrift. I was in an August bridal party in Monroe, MI, and we were all in floor length Vera Wang, and the guys in tuxes. No one thought twice of it.
