In September my son is getting married. There will be a registry office legal bit on the Thursday with just me and the brides mum as witnesses, and they are having a celebration and tying of hands on the Saturday after. The Saturday celebration is being held in woodlands with handmade pizzas, ice cream van and fun fair style games to play. The wedding party colours are black and forest green. Their wedding, their choices. I know what colour the bride is wearing because I am making her veil.
My question is, what do I wear? I am a 66 year old widow, I work almost full time in a newsagent getting newspapers ready for early morning deliveries. Do my everyday wear are jeans, whatever top suits the weather and canvas mules. In the summer I wear Berkenstock style sandals.
I don't wear lace, chiffon or anything flowy, anything flowy is an accident waiting to happen with me wearing it.
I cannot wear anything on my feet that have backs on them due to a haglunds deformity and damaged achilleas tendons.
Most of the dresses I have found have loads of lace or chiffon 'butterfly' sleeves, which I hate. I would rather have no sleeves. I am a overweight so anything fitted looks bleh. [I am working on the weight issue] I have a very low waist so anything that is fitted at the waist sits very high on me and is very uncomfortable. But the style of footwear that I have to wear definitely do not go with a 'nice dress'.
Would it be wrong of me if I found a great fitting pair of trousers with a nice top? Maybe with a jacket of some sort.
Don't get me started on hats.
HELP !
