    I think destination weddings are actually a strategic decision by the couple to weed out those that they don't actually want to be there. So all of the outer circle - particularly the elders - won't feature.

    We've been invited to a family wedding in the early summer, I have politely declined. The dress code is pastel, and my Dad was making a vehement case for not adhering to it, indicating that it is just a suggestion. He relaxed a bit when I clarified that it was primarily for ladies, he wasn't required to wear a baby blue suit, a standard lounge suit with a pastel shirt and suitably smart tie will be juist fine.

    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    Shame my OH wasn't invited. He loves a good excuse to wear the baby blue linen suit!! Likely with a pale pink shirt and a soft lime green tie.
