masquerade wedding

I'm going to a masquerade wedding tomorrow.

I asked my brother advice on what to wear. To illustrate my choices, I dug through old photos, which caused me to stumble across a few that I'd forgotten.


A costume shopping trip in summer 2007. Tom amused himself while waiting for me.


Trying not to laugh.


My flapper costume. This was one option I considered as my wedding attire.

...

In the end, I decided on my red dress and Carmen Miranda hat for the masquerade wedding. I hope it will be appropriate!

  1. How will the bride and groom know for sure who they're marrying?

  2. If anyone says your costume is inappropriate, just start rapping.

  4. Hah! I recognize that courtyard.

    Kickin' dress, by the way.

  5. Isn't masquerade more like Victorian/Renaissance type dresses with masks? Mardi Gras style, etc.

  7. It is Victorian with masks, but I do not own such a costume. Hopefully I will not be out of place!

    You look quite happy in those photos, and red appears to be a good color for you!

  9. A bunch of friends have also remarked that masquerade implies a mask. I hope tonight does not turn out like the flapper fiasco! Concerned.
