Susan finishes and Wears Black Linen dress to A Wedding

Here I am in the  linen dress I made for Dhorea's wedding.

 The ceremony was in the Cathedral on the square in downtown La Paz.

 As the wedding party was posing for a few photos on the alter, a young man with a camera sauntered down the aisle and asked  us (and others) to pose for a photo.

 I thought "How nice of the bride to have someone take  pictures of all of the guests."

 After the bridal party made their exit, we followed . 

And there on the square in front of the church was the young photogapher with all of the pictures he had taken, laid out on a table, they were  framed and matted, and for sale! How entrepreneurial!

 The photos were only $100 pesos ( about $9.00 US). We had celebrated our 28th anniversary the day before the wedding, so we decided to buy the phoot and call it our anniversary picture.

 And there is my dress all finished.

 It felt wonderful, the lining swished, and the linen was soft, and I received many compliments.  

We spent the two hours between the wedding ceremony and the reception walking along the malecon ( waterfront) and arrived at the reception just behind the bride.

 The setting was lovley, the liquor flowed, the music was sixites rock...but not loud and crashing. the food was mostly hot, and tasty.

Tthe guests at our table were all new friends for us and interesting, charming people.

 We  were home and in bed by midnight!

The dress made it thorught the evening without a wrinkle!

 Here it is lounging near the pool:
