It's absolutely not silly to dress however makes you happiest.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I wore a new dress and DH wore a shirt, tie, and sports jacket when we eloped. It was a symbolic sort of thing. There was a 24 hour waiting period, so an hour before our appointment, we stopped at a gas station rest room and changed.
I've seen several courthouse weddings, and they've run the gamut, from a white business suit with froufy corsage on one shoulder to a long blue cotton print skirt, borrowed bracelets, new t-shirt and old leather jacket on the bride, and everything from a suit to slacks or jeans with a button-down shirt for the groom.
I'd say whatever makes you both happy, just shined up a little.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
So.
I'm, uh...I'm MCing the Masquerade at a local sci-fi convention in October.
Huh.

However, she doesn't own anything else and anything she buys will likely be a one-time use thing. What do people usually do? Totally casual or nicer?
I say dress. It's your wedding. Besides, everyone should have at least one "dress up" outfit.

In stripey tights and a candy bra?

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I think I"m gonna make her buy a nice outfit. Jeans are just not right. I'm going to buy a dress for the occasion, but not a "wedding" dress. Just a nice dress that makes me feel pretty.

Just so you all don't think DF is totally insane, her point is that we are really only doing this for political purposes (getting married has never been a huge dealie for us) and we've been "married" for many years at this point. Still making her dress nice though.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Can we get video of you singing "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay! And I pity any girl who isn't me today."??
Because I would pay ONE MEEEEEEELLION DOLLARS for that.

That sounds like a lovely plan.
(You know me, I'm all for dressing up extravagantly.)

What convention?
ION, someone remind me that obsessively googling for a certain pair of vintage shoes probably isn't going to make them magically appear in my size.
