Got back from my brother's wedding yesterday - it was exhausting but a lot of fun! He and his wife met at school in Vermont so they held it up there and it was such a beautiful weekend for it. We got extra lucky since the ceremony & reception were both outside lol - and some of the guests even had to drive up from Long Island through all the flooding. I didn't take a lot of pictures but if my mom sends me any good ones I might add them here later. I was In the wedding so I had to be there for rehearsal and the wedding itself obviously, plus I had to focus on remembering who all the extended family & family friends are and making conversation with them... phew.

Also my brother and his wife are/were both involved in greek life at their school so a big contingent of the wedding guests were their fraternity/sorority siblings, which didn't really help my exhaustion levels lol. It was fine though just very high energy.

I do have a picture of my outfit tho - my mom made it for me herself :3 shopping for formalwear is hell obviously but I lucked out having a mom with a textile engineering degree so I bought her the pattern and the fabric and everything and she put it all together. She also modified one of my dad's old jackets to match it but I didn't get any pictures of that.

I realized on the first fitting months ago that the buttons started too low to cover my binder all the way but by then it was too late to do anything about 😂 It's fine though I still love how it looks - plus now I have A Formal Outfit to wear at other events in the future if I need 🙏
