Wedding Tactics

My shower invitation. So pretty. But also so changed.

As of yesterday the Washington Metro area was forecast to have some freezing rain, sleet and snow on Sunday. The forecast kept deteriorating.

At 9:00am on Saturday the shower hostess called me and asked if I thought it would be okay to call everyone and move the shower to 2pm … five hours from that moment!

We all frantically made calls. I would say things like, “Hi!It’s Stacy,becauseoftheimpendingweatherweareconsideringmovingtheshowerto
todaycanyoumakeit at2pmtoday?”

The end result was that all but two people were able to change their plans.

But! I wasn’t ready!

I was all My shower isn’t supposed to be until tomorrow, I’m not mentally ready. But, like all my guests and my fabulous hosts, I was a trooper.

My shower began at 2pm and it was a lovely luncheon and I got amazing gorgeous gifts, some of which I will photograph later in the week.

I wore red cordoury pants, a brown silk crewneck sweater and new pointy-toed very high heeled boots. My friends met my Mom and my Mother-In-Law and everyone was interested in talking to me and they wanted to know about the wedding and my colors and how I was and why I looked so good. Answers: not nervous, just stressed and overwhelmed; pink and sand; and pills, duh!

It was so much fun to be the center of attention and have everyone looking at me. I loved it!

Now, I have lots of very nice thank you notes to write in my neatest-which-isn’t-very-neat handwritting.

It was all a good thing too, ’cause today? It snowed like six inches and was totally gross winter weather.
