Congratulations on a Big Fat Wedding!

September 9th, 2007

Yesterday, Mopie married Ian in a small private ceremony, followed by a wonderful reception under a white tent on a hillside overlooking the lights of LA (or some other city, I’m really bad at the geography around here, but let’s just say it was Hollywood, ok?). The women were gorgeous, the men were swoonworthy and the food was absolutely incredible (you do not know delight until you’ve had a red velvet wedding cake with white chocolate mousse between the layers) and the dancing just may have involved a reinactment of the Thriller video. Needless to say, the bride was absolutely radiant in a gorgeous dress (which I’ll let her tell you about). I’ve had a year with many weddings but this one was by far my favorite and probably had the most happy tears at an ending that will be happy ever after.

Please join me in congratulating the happy couple in the comments section!

    Oh, I want some of that cake! Yum!!

    Congratulations, and best of luck to you both. Even though I’m a feminist and I’m sometimes dubious about the institution of marriage, I have to say — I love weddings! They’re loads of fun. And as a sentimental romantic, I find them deeply emotionally fulfilling.

    and a life free of stirfe or recriminations.
