Interesting post. Can you write something about flower preservation sometime in the future?

BTW –

Did Jordan steal the Miss Universe crown for the happy occasion?

I find it strange so many Chinese brides are adopting the Western traditions of white dresses rather than the auspicious red, especially since red is considered the color of mourning. My mother and all females in my extended South Asian clan would go into collective hysterics (with much beating of breasts and tearing of hear and appeals to Heavens about ungrateful children) if even a smidgen of white appeared on my wedding outfit.

That woman looks totally insane.

The Gidget hopes the Annalucia will get well soon.

I suspect the biggest wedding “don’t” at Jordan’s wedding was Jordan herself. (Although her name does bring to mind all the pretty pastel almonds wrapped in net given as favors in all the Italian weddings I attended in my youth. Apparently, I’m the only person who likes them, and I would wander among the guests collecting the little net bags and eat them in lieu of the lasagna.)

Please not the correction to the above post: it was left by the Annalucia and not the Sonetka, who was visiting over the New Year and was logged in on the family computer, and the Annalucia neglected to change it back. She has now done so.

The Chinese couple, are they not holding the Little Red Books of Chairman Mao? Or is that no longer obligatory on the public occasions?

As to the second photo, ay de mi….there is so much wrong with it, the Annalucia scarcely knows where to begin…the bride has forgotten to put the gown on over the crinoline slip, the groom he looks most disconcertingly like the Liberace, and the cake, it looks like something removed from the gray whale during the emergency surgery. This is something the Annalucia most definitely did not need to see, not when she is just recovered from what Dave Barry calls the Marian Death Flu.

(Back to the ginger ale and the Saltine crackers…)

Ha! I think you may be right Omibus. To me it looks as if that cake is about four seconds away from collapsing under its own weight and thus becoming the first ever cake-created black hole.

Ah, but those little red envelopes probably more than make up for the cost of the train!
