So, it turns out the wedding in August is a morning affair. Thus, my evening outfits just won't work. It's a good thing I asked the groom directly, rather than relying on P's information. I need a dress, probably with flowers on. Likely candidate is this one from Simplicity. Now, I've been clothes shopping recently. I'm a size 20/22. According the the sizing chart of these patterns, though, I'm a 28/30! Wtf. When my clothes size is a higher number than my age, it's time for stomach stapling. Obviously these are just weeord Mirkin sizes. Damn Mirkins with their Size 0.

Also, have you checked out Icanhascheezburger lately? Some really good stuff, man. I'm not addicted to Lolcats, I can stop any time. Srsly.

This one looks like our new little Puffkitten*. She is full of naughty and evil. She's very sweet when she's asleep and for about 5 seconds after you get home and she purrs and loves you like she thought you were _never_ coming home to feed her.

Morning? Nobody said anything about morning to me! Are you sure?

There had better be coffee, in copious amounts! I'll have a word in a relevant ear (or at least, I hope it's relevant).

Morning

According to the groom-to-be: ceremony at 11, followed by tea and snacks, then lunch thing, then main evening reception with band and stuff. So it looks like an all-day affair. I'm glad I asked, seeing as we didn't actually get an invitation. Lost in the mail, apparently.

Wrt relevant ears: I strongly suspect that a lot of "yes, dear" has been going on, judging by his vagueness as to what's actually happening on the day (and the size and venue of the wedding). But yes, definitely do get some sort of confirmation. It doesn't really matter what time it starts, though, as we're all at the guest house anyway and I assume someone will come bang on the door when P is needed in suit.

I think the groom-to-be is a little confused (I've just found the invitation, which says it's a 2pm start). Better that he turns up too early than too late, I suppose...

Perhaps there's a dress-rehearsal on the day that we don't yet know about?

When confronted with "your other best man didn't know that it was at 11", the response was "umm, maybe it's 2, I dunno! Whatever the invitation says!". So, yes, I would guess the ceremony is at 2 (I don't know where he pulled 11am from. Perhaps it was part of some elaborate practical joke we've just ruined). I don't know if there's a dress rehearsal, he said something about the venue being all booked up.

I think you just better confirm with the bride-to-be, so you can make sure your poor clueless brother is in the right place at the right time :P.
