I hate weddings. Well, that’s not completely true. I hate getting dressed up for weddings. I hate getting dressed up period. But the family weddings I’m going to in September and October are big fancy deals. For each wedding we’re invited to not only the wedding but also the rehearsal dinners. They are family wedding, so I’ll be seeing and sitting with the same people. Ugg…
I asked Nick to go fancy clothes shopping with me. You should have seen his scared, bewildered face. I finally told him I was kidding and that Mollie was coming with me. He was so relieved he truly didn’t care how much I spent.
One of my worst phobias about dressing up is having to wear decent shoes. So I was looking for pants and I actually found two really nice dress pants outfits. Then Mollie dug through my closet and found enough things to make the other two outfits. I think I have some flats that will work with them. But I’m still not wild about dressing up.
I do pray that Mollie will marry at some point. I hope she elopes and comes home to tell me how wonderful it was, and I’ll cheerfully hand her a check for the cost of a lovely wedding. I realize this makes me a horrible mother, but as I’ve told friends I hate to spend what could be a nice down payment on a house for the newlyweds, on one party. However, if that what Mollie wants, I’ll grin and bear it.
Hi PK, the thought of having to find fancy clothes for occasions puts me in a sweat too, and for me the shoes are even worse!
ReplyDeleteGlad Mollie helped and that you were successful.

We found some really pretty things. My biggest annoyance with them is no pockets. Oh well.
DeleteI love dressing up, but I hate when there are no pockets... thats truly a reason not to buy...
DeleteGlad you were able to find something.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look good in spite of myself!
DeleteI'm the same, I hate having to go out and buy fancy clothes. You are lucky you have Mollie to help. Look forward to hearing all about the weddings.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Mollie did help a lot. Sometime I need someone to tell me how it looks on me. I don't always trust my own judgment.
DeleteGrin, I am with you PK.
ReplyDeleteDressing up is hard. I don't like it.
I am also with you on the wedding costs. My daughter has already said IF she gets married, it will be a backyard BBQ. I am thrilled......which probably makes me a bad mom.

Makes you a great mom to me, it that's what she says she would want. It's not the expense I mind, except that it seem like such a waste of money. One of the best wedding I've attended was just the family in living room for the ceremony and then we all changed clothes and friends came a half hour later to a BBQ - in shorts and sandals!
