Wedding Part IV

I swear this is the last "official" wedding celebration! Do you think four is a little over the top? It's like my never-ending birthday from 2004.

October 16th, 4:00 PM, Thai Farm Restaurant in Rockville, Maryland. It was cool to see friends of my parents whom I hadn't seen in years. And they had a blast, so I'm glad. I think all our friends enjoyed the ceremony (something different, anyway). I was sad I couldn't invite all the folks I wanted.

I don't have a lot to comment on the day except that I'm really glad we did it. Eloping was the sweetest day, our impromptu wedding officiated by Father/Rabbi Freddy was fun, the picnic was awesome... this was just like a big sigh of contentment. And relief everything went smoothly - all thanks to my family and the folks at the restaurant. I was surprised they closed down the whole place for us. It's cool to have an "in" with the owners!

My dress was handmade in Thailand of silk. My aunt sent my measurements and a sample fitted shirt to her friend, who took it to a tailor. Surprisingly, the skirt was a little loose, given that my aunt had taken off an inch or two in the skirt measurements and told me to lose a few pounds in 2 months. The jacket was a good fit too, but the back was a bit balloony, so my aunt took it in. She's so talented!

So, I leave you with some pics... unfortunately, I don't have one of the cake right now, but I can update later. My cousin did the best she could with my camera. Thanks, Kara!!!
