Mario and Rosies wedding...

We were so honoured to be invited to our neighbours Mario and Rosies wedding yesterday. It was a beautiful small wedding in a garden setting at the Lavender farm.... and to be among their family and close friends was so special. I could feel the happiness and love in the air...

Of course....in typical Mardi fashion.....I was in a last minute panic as to what to wear. I had bought a dress over a month ago in Adelaide.... and not tried it on until the day before the wedding....only to discover it looked like a sack and would need altering if I wore it at all.

Briony and I hit the shops on Saturday morning in an attempt to find something more suitable....but that was useless..... so I came home totally miserable....and whining endlessly about how terrible I was going to look.
Finally within an hour or so of the wedding Briony suggested I try on some of her dresses.....and amazingly one fitted..... and whats more it actually looked ok...

I think we kind of scrubbed up ok....
(gotta love the colourbond fence backdrop)

Edited to add: Thanks so much for the lovely compliments....

As for fitting in to Brionys dress....well I have to be thankful for the cut of it..... it was small at the top and had a lovely looser fitting bottom....so it worked....as a rule Briony is almost 2 sizes smaller than me ...and this dress was an 8....unheard of for me.

The piercing??.... well I had that done just before our trip to Melbourne in Feb.....and it takes care of #25 on my 'list' ....Im pleased with it...my tiny speck of sparkle....
