The Wedding - Part X


So the wedding is tomorrow. At 9.30 I will pick my SIL up and take her to the hairdresser, where we will hopefully spend a couple of hours away from the absolute chaos that will be my in-laws’ house. Then at 12 noon the photographer will be at my in-laws to start taking pictures and the show will begin.

Since the wedding is at 2.30 pm, we will have to have something to eat, so my MIL hired a cook (one more person in an already over crowded house) to make a bunch of light, easy-to-eat-as-you-get-dressed-and-take-pictures stuff and invited my parents to come over for lunch (two more people, adding to a grand total of 24). I can only imagine the chaos.

The dresses
My oldest SIL, the lawyer, came to my house last Monday and borrowed a maternity dress I bought last summer, but that actually looked pretty good on her (she has gained a few pounds). Apparently, the dress she stole from my youngest SIL no longer fits her. Ironic hun?
My SIL the dentist finally tried on her dress in front of my MIL and my SIL the bride and they both said it was pornographic (maybe not using this exact same word) and she is now depressed because she really wants to wear it but realizes she shouldn’t. I have no idea if she has an alternative but I’ll let you know how that ended.
My SIL the nun will in fact take my dress and my blazer but since the weather is so bad now, I no longer think that’s a bad idea at all.
My youngest SIL, the one whose dress got stolen, bought a new, more beautiful dress that looks great on her. So the dress that got stolen will not even be worn.

I will try to take as many pictures with my camera as possible, so that you can finally have an image of all I’ve been babbling about here for the past few months.

    Sounds like the dress thing is working out. Yes, please, pics of all the dresses. We need to see what you are talking about.
    Hope you have fun.
    Hope the right team wins Saturday, without overtime.

    24 people, that is sheer madness! Oh to be a fly, it will surely be like an Italian operetta, ony with fancier costumes!

    What does it say of my Portieness that I CAN keep track of all the SILs? Are you proud?

    And we'd better kick Iran's ugly buttocks, WE'D BETTER.

    (Oh, shall we meet outside FNAC?)

    HOW was it, Ana??? I can hardly wait to hear about it.

    and Portugal won - Good for you!!

    Oh, I haven't had much time to watch the games but one of these days I watched a few minutes of Portugal's last games and I was entranced by how handsome one of the players is. I mentioned this to my husband today and then he said - AH! Christian Ronaldo - he's considered the most hansome/ sexy guy in the world cup - and then he showed me some pics online. I think Brazil has one VERY cute player too - Kaka.

    I'd love to hear from the Lioness on this subject, maybe I should send her a message :)
