This past weekend Anthony and I attended our friends Avi and Curtis' Aspen nuptials. They had a sweet ceremony at the base of the gondola, and their puppies, Oni and Mila were in the wedding party. Avi looked stunning in a lace, strapless gown, and Curtis was dashing in his black suit and red tie. Anthony and I have been discussing the merits of black suits vs. tuxes for his groomsmen. I have been trying to sell him on having his guys wear black suits with coordinating ties and he has said he thinks it will look terrible; until....he saw Curtis' groomsmen in black suits - all different. It looked great and to the untrained eye, you could not tell that they were two button vs. three unless you were really looking. So, I believe Anthony is going to tell his friends to wear their best black suits and to get the same shirt and tie. Finally, one more thing to check off of our decision making list. Attire aside, the wedding was beautiful. The reception was at the Little Nell Hotel and the food was amazing. I had the braised beef short ribs and Anthony had the ravioli. The dinner was finished with coffee and delightful cupcakes. I was also thrilled because I got to see for the first time, in person, the Jewish Hora dance. I thought it was so fun and want to do it at our wedding; however, both of us being raised Catholic, our families might find it strange.
Our next wedding is Anthony's sister's wedding in Joshua Tree, California the first weekend in June. I hope I can at least fit in nine holes in Palm Springs.
Congratulations to Avi and Curtis! We wish you the best.
