Last Friday was awesome. My awesome sister-in-law was here and my awesome friend (and neighbour for only a few more weeks 🙁 ) agreed to join us for Michelle’s awesome Fancy Dress Party. We got all dolled up Chez Fullerton and waited for the only newly wed, Mrs. Sonja Woodington to arrive.
Taking photos on the street was awesome. Rarely has anyone seen more than one bride in their dresses at the same time, outside, on a Friday night – and we had three. And one gorgeous bridesmaid. Surpringly, we only got one honk as we did our photoshoot on the lawn.

And more…
The party was…awesome. So many brides, very little red wine. Most opted for beverages of the colourless variety, though I’m happy to report that there was no spillage but for a slice of the most delicious chocolate cake. What a waste.
The oldest dresses were 9 years old. Three of the girls, including hostess with the mostess (and birthday girl), Michelle, were tied for longest married. Sonja and Heather were the newbies at under a year. There was even a guest, getting married this month, who wore the first dress she bought that she decided not to wear. Honourable mentions go to the bridesmaids, they too looked fabulous and were likely miles more comfortable than I was. Wedding dresses, though beautiful (mostly), are not comfortable. At all.
And I can’t wait to put it on again at next year’s celebration.
Heather - Toooo funny! My friends and I have always talked about doing something simillar… so far I’m the only married one, (until summer 09!!) and then it’s game on!!
