Wedding photos

Last night, D and I went to a wedding at the Foundry in Queens. It was a vegan wedding; Liz inquired whether the shoes would be vegan as well, but I think there was definitely some leather footwear.


This was my undoing.

Our table, tucked in an alcove.

The bride and groom, dancing to "You are the Sunshine of My Life." ;)

The cutie shih tzu sitting in front of me during the ceremony. The bride and groom's dogs served as ring bearers.

Interior shot. The red Japanese lanterns were later hung up.

My dress :)

Very cute dress! I like the little alcoves for the tables at the wedding. It is, after all, all about romance.

Thanks! Nice new profile pic, by the way ;) The bride told me that they didn't want to put tables in the alcoves, but she insisted.

I agree with kitkat - very nice dress - it's a great pic. And that's pretty cool to have an all vegan wedding - defnitely not the norm.

The vegan cake looks divine as does your vegan dress...

I'm pleased to see the Japanese lanterns too :)

Since you asked,
My shoes WERE vegan actually. I ordered them especially from Britain, from a place called Elegant Steps (http://www.elegantsteps.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=15443bf1ee5ef84/shopdata/index.shopscript)
Not all of their shoes are vegan, but they've got at least two designs that are (Hope & Jackie, I believe, and mine were the latter).
Anyway, I wouldn't have been offended by the inquiry, it's a god question. The unity candle was vegan too. From a place called Wish Candles in LA, though I can't speak for the votives as I didn't shop for them myself.

btw thanks for all the support, folks, about the vegan-ness of it all. I'm really glad there were veg folks with good taste around (like bearette24 of course :-)) to appreciate those elements.

Well, you were very thorough :) I loved that it was vegan, it's fun to
be healthy at a wedding. Though the cake tasted sinful ;) In a good way.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

Eat, knit and be happy

So I went to knitting class today. It was a lot of fun. The knitting cafe was buried deep in the Village, further south than I tend to go, but I found it after a little bit of exploring. The cafe itself was just adorable. Their motto is the title of this post. There was a counter where they sold brownies, tea and other goodies (my attention was caught and held by the nice, thick, chocolatey brownies). Two other women showed up for the class. One of them just got a part in a student-written play (she was maybe in her 40s) and had to knit in a scene while arguing with her husband. She wanted to be able to knit convincingly. The instructor commended her for this, noting that often in the movies when people are supposed to be knitting, they're not doing it right and it takes her out of the story ;) Knitting is surprisingly easy if someone teaches you live. As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
