I have posted three examples below of dresses I liked.
Those who know me, know that I am not only the wedding officiant with Aloha, but a fashion enthusiast (see previous blog for wedding dress fashion article I wrote). I have been researching the options for bridal dresses that are available on Etsy.com. There is a dress or two there for every bride, so many to look at, you can go long, short, or tea length.

Today I officiated the wedding of a member of our armed forces and his bride. The father of the groom actually hired me, as an alternative to the court house wedding his son, on a short leave and back from Afghanistan, had made an appointment for. The bridal couple wanted something casual, but as the immediate family of both sides wanted to attend, the father knew having the wedding at his home would be more comfortable. I was only hired the night before, for a Wiki Wiki wedding, so had to get prepared quickly. The sun was out on a lovely, mild January day, so we were able to have the ceremony on the deck. The home was in the hills above the Elkhorn Slough area in Monterey County. The young couple had known each other since 8th grade and wanted to make the commitment of marriage while the groom was home. The groom looked splendid in his Army dress uniform and the bride wore a lovely ivory with gold strapless dress. As a last minute, on the spot change, I switched their answered response during the Affirmation portion of the ceremony so that they responded in Spanish - as the couple was bilingual. I also opened and closed the ceremony with a welcome and congratulations in Spanish. They were wed in front of their immediate family, and afterwards everyone enjoyed a bowl of homemade pozole (hominy & pork soup) - including yours truly. It was delicious! Mejores deseos to the couple! |
