All Dolled Up


It's not often the case these days that Bruce and I get to dress up and go out someplace. But, Bruce's cousin's oldest child had the good fortune to find the love of her life. 

A wedding was of course the next natural step.

The venue was the Eglinton Grand. The theme was Hollywood glamour. So I got out my sequinned polka dot dress and Bruce put on his purple tie.

It's October, and it was an evening wedding, so I had to get some kind of a wrap.

A tricolour sequinned bomber jacket was the most wearable and lowest-cost option. No, really.

An unexpected hip-replacement milestone: This was the first time in more than a year and a half that I've been able to wear heels.

How Weddings Are Done These Days

The wedding cake was made out of da-nuts (donuts made from danish pastry dough).


A master of ceremonies - not related to the bride or groom and not part of the wedding party - maintained order (no glass tinkling to make the B&G kiss), organized contests and announced speakers and dinner courses.

The MC's the one with the microphone.
The bride and groom maintained the important traditions of making sure they talked to everybody, appeared happier than they ever have in their happy lives and looked like movie stars themselves. 


Congratulations and lots of love to the happy couple.

Thanks for reading!

Have a great week!
