Why do brides carry a bouquet and wear a veil?
Are the flowers meant to enhance her beauty? Give her a nice fragrance? Make her look more demure?
And why the veil? To shield her beauty from those who are not going to be her husband? But the veil is always transparent!
Just got back from a friend’s wedding. A high school friend. We’ve known each other for a long time now. We haven’t seen each other much in the last 15 years though. Still, it was nice to share the special occasion.
So the friend who was preggers when I first came home has given birth a month ago. Another boy. Cute.
I realised that it is a luxury to be able to wear stilettoes and carry slim clutches. When one is a mother, one wears sensible shoes and carry huge totes.
Stilettoes rock.
