I was really excited because we're going to Zane's coworker's wedding tomorrow. I don't really know them well, but just the idea of getting dressed up and leaving the kiddo for a while was exciting.
Well, Zane just called and he found today from another coworker that the wedding is outside in August in Mississippi when it's been triple digit temps for a solid week. WTF? It's also supposed to rain tomorrow. I don't even want to go now. I'd rather use the babysitter and go to a movie or something, but I don't think that's an option.
Re: Son of a biscuit eater
um. HELLO MISERY. I really dislike outdoor weddings on the whole. Everyone gets all dressed up, their hairs did, etc. and then due to humidity and heat, my face melts off, my dress wrinkles and my knee pits sweat, and my hair poofs up like a poodle. Just not enjoyable.
Best of luck to you, Buddha. I'd DIE.

I'm really going to need someone to explain how events like this even get planned. Even if you don't care at all about the comfort of your guests, who wants to look like a sweaty mess in their wedding pictures? Just birthed a baby pics? I'm good with the sweat, but you'd better believe I made sure I looked as good as possible in the wedding pics.
According to coworker#2 there is no back up plan for rain either, and it's supposed to rain on and off all day tomorrow. I'm lanie facing to the extreme.
I'm also pretty sure the dress I had intended to wear is probably too formal now.
one of the reasons we chose Nov for our wedding is because I didn't want to be hot in my dress, even though we'd be inside.
I looooove weddings, but I'd seriously contemplate not attending this one.
Yeah, I would show up for the nuptuals, stick around for a cocktail or two, congratulate the happy couple, then book it on outta there. Sorry - babysitters are too valuable to blow on a crappy evening like this.
I thought I felt gross at my cousin's covered outdoor reception in Savannah in May, I can only imagine that Mississippi in August would feel like that multiplied by 1000. You can have all my non-melting vibez and TP.
Is just the ceremony outdoors or the whole reception? I'd say outdoors anywhere in August would be an acceptable reason to skip a ceremony.
I'm a Scandinavian-Minnesotan...I am pretty sure I would actually curl up and die. I would either not go or bring a battery operated fan and a Camelbak full of ice cold water. In a coordinating color to my dress of course.
In all seriousness I'd probably go for just the ceremony and then leave.
I can't understand getting married outdoors in a place that hot and humid, but I think it makes sense when you do it here. It would be awful to miss out on such a gorgeous backdrop as this:

Seriously? I can't believe I missed that.

Cali I remember your dress from pics. It was a pick-up skirt with red thingies on it? And maybe red shoes? And a picture with a yellow lab....?
See, I'm not completely worthless
yeah, two toned pickup dress. but i think it was overshadowed by mockery of roses and proud
