Going To The Chapel
Well, not really a chapel, but my brother is getting married! After 17 years with his sweet girlfriend, (for a long time I introduced her as my sister-in-law anyway),the two are finally making it official this Summer with a small casual candlelight ceremony and dinner/dancing right afterwards. So many exciting things are happening around here this Summer, professionally and personally, this wedding is the icing on the cake!
My brother's good friend, who happens to be a Judge, is marrying them at a really nice reception hall. My sister and I are so honored she asked us to be "unofficial" bridesmaids. Quickly saying to us that we "don't have to walk down an aisle or wear the same dress", she just wants us to stand next to her as they exchange vows. So sweet and of course we said "yes"! She asked me to help plan the intimate wedding (about 100 close friends and family) I forgot how much work goes into a wedding, big or small! We still have a month to go, but here is a sketch I drew of her pretty gown, (sort of a "rough" sketch, since my drawing skills are very novice!) but I think it captures the simplicity and elegance of her gown which sets the theme for the entire wedding, "casual and elegant". My sister and I decided that we would at least match in the color of our dresses, so we chose a "chocolate" shade, with pink roses for the flowers. Chocolate loves pink, right? Or is it pink loves chocolate!?
Below is my dress, it has a really pretty back and I forgot to take a picture!
and here are my shoes that I am almost positive will be killing me by the end of the night!
Just lovely. Summer weddings are perfect and you can bring some flip flops to change into later on and avoid the blister feet! (that's what I did for my sisters wedding last August.)

Your sketch is perfect. Love the chocolate and pink. My son is getting married this August, and they are using the same color theme. Your shoes are great. A pair of Bonanno monogramed sandals in brown with pink would be a comfy alternative to wear at the reception!!!!!
