Sara and Navid's wedding

Another wedding at the Beverly Hills hotel, this time a family friend. I didn't get enough pictures of the flowers or decor, there was lots, and everything matched. Even the dance floor. But, here we are.

My dress is BCBG, and I've got my wedding jewels on plus Sheila's emerald bracelet. Shandiz is wearing his wedding suit from Macy's and a skinny Penguin tie. Yes, I am wearing heels (Dolce & Gabbana as a matter of fact), but so is everyone else, and I guarantee theirs are taller than mine.

The best thing about this wedding was that they had a crazy little Scottish DJ that was playing fun Arabic and Persian techno music, well that and there were feathers in the center pieces.

Here are a few snaps from Andre's first birthday party at the YMCA in Laguna. He's such a cute kid even with the blue frosting his aunt smeared on his face while trying to feed him some cake :/

These are from Roya and Dariush's wedding last year and the Beverly Hills Hotel. Lots of fun and AMAZING flowers. We don't know these ladies, but thought it was hilarious. I think it is also important to point out that their wedding was at the end of May, in Southern California, so the level of necessity for wearing fur would be very low.
My dress is the bridesmaid dress my Aunt Belinda wore in my Aunt Juanita's wedding, or vice versa...? My Grandma Rau made it circa 1970 and with just a few modifications by my mother, it fit wonderfully. Shandiz's suit is my Macy's and his tie is Barneys private label.

salam!

I thought it would be fun to create a portal to the alternate universe we sometimes travel to where everything is fancy and bi-dazzled. This is a place worlds away from Lake Wobegon, but sometimes it is fun to take out the finery and show our fabulous sides to the sun.

So I will update this with pictures and such from Persian events we attend.
