Grandeur! Champagne! Underwear! Rules!









Ginormous! Fancy! Fabulous!





"No music!"

"No laughter!"

"No alcohol!"

"No prancing around in underwear!"

"No nose picking!"






But I digress.




So nice, no?


It was the absolute best pre-party.


  1. Does one of your maids have her *gasp* FEET on the coffee table?

    Y'all are gonna get fined for that, you know. The bill is on the way, I'm sure.

  2. Yes, FEET on the coffee table! Gasp! Nobody rubbed any butt germs on the pillows, though. In case anyone is wondering.

  3. I have a laminated list of rules at my house...not strange at all.

  4. Just reading about the wedding now. Congrats. You both looked so fabulous!

  5. Looks like a good time was had by all. Rules be damned!

    Where was this?

  6. Lemmonex - Well, yours probably need to be laminated so people can still read them even if you spill tomato sauce all over them.

    Neil - Hi!!! Thank you!

    lacochran - Rules be damned! I wish that could be my new mantra.

    As for where, it's a couple blocks off Dupont Circle. It's not a secret, but I don't want to put the name on the blog, just because of how the Internets work. Nick's father is very into this society, and as I've been irreverent, I don't want any random Googling in conjunction with it to wind up back here. It would be a Very Bad Thing all around.

  7. It looks like a lovely time, and I'm so glad the "replacement room" exceeded expectations!

    What a happy time. I have to confess, though - I'm curious about what the rules actually were, and how many of them you actually broke. :o)

  8. VVK - Heh, thanks! :)

    Jessica - Yah, the replacement room was much brighter and larger than the original!

    As for the rules, I have to imagine they are about noise and decorum and not running down the hall naked and no - God forbid! NO - putting anything on the antique tables, touching the art, etc etc. Maude kept getting in trouble with the staff for doing things like setting her cell phone on a museum table or leaning against the piano.

  9. Wow, what an awesome room. I'm amazed they allowed it to be... used in such a manner. ;)
    That Nick must be some kind of persuasive. :)

    Loving these stories!

  10. If there's ever a day to break all the rules or rewrite them altogether, your wedding day is absolutely it!

  11. Lovely and wonderful. And sneaky-iny food is totally the best. =-)

  12. fleur de lis underwear? awesome. Also, where was your something blue?

  13. Does it rhyme with Sobriety of the Peppermint Patty?


Tell me about it.
