Kimberly, my Maid of Honor and all around rad lady, has picked a dress to wear for the wedding.

Of course, Kimberly is much more pretty than this model... but the official Alfred Angelo press photo will have to do. :)

The dress is taffeta, has a bubbled skirt, and is in a color called "peacock."

Bubble skirts are very in right now, and Kim and I have both fallen for this trend. We giggled today on the phone because there is a very large chance that, in ten years, we'll both look back in horror at this dress. For now, it is gorgeous. It's more than gorgeous; it is perfect.

Not too accidentally, "peacock" is my favorite color. In fact, I am wearing the same rich deep teal as I type. If you'd like, you can read an article about James McNeill Whistler and his "hotly debated and now famous Peacock Room in London." Or you can read your choice of these two articles discussing the use of "peacock blue" in wedding this year: #1 and #2.

Clayton, Chris' Best Man and dear chum, has sent us photographs of the tuxedo he will wear for the wedding. Now, Clay is the most dapper man I have ever met. Seriously. The man can dress. He has real character.

Like Chris, Clay harks to another era. Unlike Chris, that era is not the future. :)

Check these gorgeous photos out. Clay poses with his wife, Jillian, and his truck:



Classic.
