There are only so many occasions to wear a tutu when you’re not a professional ballerina, but I found another one: celebrating your recent marriage with all your friends. You probably recall the super exciting news from last week that my lady friend and I took advantage of the chance to get our marriage legalized in our (mostly) lovely state of Indiana. But since we did it at the clerk’s office on a Wednesday night, none of our friends could be there. Boo.

Lucky for us, our friends are pretty much the bomb dot com, so a bunch of them got together with us on Saturday for dinner and a sort of reception. We had 2 other friends who got gay married (or as I like to call it, “married”) last week, so it was double the celebration!

Our friend Bob even prepared a ceremony full of lots of mushy stuff, so both of us couples got to reenact our vows with our friends. Cute, right?

I included a couple non-outift photos from the night below. To my fellow Americans: enjoy your holiday weekend!

I was thisclose to finishing last month with a budget surplus when that biotch Ann Taylor sucked me in with another one of her 60% off flash sales. But what I lack in willpower, I make up for in excellent taste. This dress was one of the items I snagged on major sale, and I think we can all agree my purchase was worth it.

By the way, Ann Taylor is currently having its semi-annual sale. How is this different than all the other sales? I don’t know. Seriously, do not ever buy anything at AT on one of the 3 days a year when there’s no sale. What are you thinking?
