Today I attended a Jewish wedding for the first time. Fernando invited me to go with him. It was held in Battery Gardens. I always think it is nice to go to weddings outside of your own beliefs - it's fun to see what everyone else's traditions are. It was a beautiful wedding outside overlooking the harbor. The bride and groom were a very cute couple. Some of the nice traditions I got to witness: The families sharing a cup of wine, the breaking of the glass, the wedding contract, and of course, the dancing with the chairs. A great experience.
Sophie and I went shopping to pick out a dress to wear, this is what we decided was the best. I really am not normally much of a yellow person, but this one I liked and it seemed very Spring-ish. Nice for an April wedding. I always remember that the rule of thumb at a wedding is not to wear black (morbid), white (only the bride) or red (just too showy). So, I thought a nice muted yellow would be perfect. Apparently that rule has gone out the window in Manhattan. Pretty much everyone was wearing black. Me: Tall and Yellow - Like Big Bird. And cue the seasame street song... "One of these things is not like the other...." My yellow dress and Marco's black eye, and the fact that we were taller than everyone else of our genders made us stand out like sore thumbs.

You both look wonderful yellow dress and all. I look dreadful in yellow and used to try to wear it until my friends convinced me how bad I looked in it. Check out my senior pictures I think that one has a yellow shirt. I don't have a year book cause it got stolen but if I remember correctly that's why I didn't purchase the pictures. It wasn't flattering on me.
