It's supposed to be WORDLESS Wednesday, but if you know me, you know that's next to impossible. I can't shut up.
So here are some ghosts of my Halloween past. As I've said before, my Mom was awesome at Halloween costumes (the Wonder Woman Underoos notwithstanding)...
Wonder Twins! |
How did I talk my sister into wearing THAT getup while I was Cute Witch? |
Remember what I said about "too much costume?" I was 12. As cool as this was, when you're 12 and a girl, you're better off going as a cheerleader or Hannah Montana. Also, nobody likes mimes.
And because tomorrow is my 8th wedding anniversary, I've been thinking a lot about what was then the happiest day of my life (before our kids). Believe it or not, this photo was taken with a digital camera. The resolution was so low, I could have drawn a more accurate photo:
But in this particular shot, I like the low-res effect. You an see my little god-daughter, Imogen, then three years old, down in the right-hand corner, ready to catch the bouquet. I'm climbing the stairs of from the courtyard of the old converted Venetian palace in which Dave and I were just married in Crete. It had just rained lightly. The ceremony was over. I was wearing fresh flowers in my hair, bought in the local market and woven together by my brother that morning. Twenty-five of the people we loved best in the world were there. And I married my best friend. More on that tomorrow ...

Marrying your best friend would come pretty high on the list. Love the costumes, especially the mime!
Underoos!!!

Okay, for a wordless Wednesday, I have a few words.
A. I have never before typed the word "Underoos". It is kinda liberating.
2. I generally hate mimes, but you were a cute one.
Third: Happy anniversary - almost.
(d) Crete? Huh. Isn't that off the Jersey Turnpike? Near Camden? Couldn't spring something fancy like the Mediteranean?
I missed it!

I can't believe I missed your SITS Day! I have no excuse...except that I had to go to work and the grocery store! Thank you for the great Spring Chicken shout-out! I love our tribe!
My hubby and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary in October. That picture of you on the steps is beautiful, low resolution and everything!

Those costumes are adorable. My sister is three years younger than me and she still gives me a hard time about having to be the scarecrow while I was Dorothy. It was about 23 years ago...
The wedding sounds like a dream. Can't to read more tomorrow. Hope you have a very happy anniversary! We'll be celebrating our 8th anniversary, too, in March.

My mom and aunt made fantastic costumes as well and one similar to the mime. You guys look great as Wonder Woman times two.
Happy belated SITS day.
