STYLE | Ask M Famous M Famous Mr M Famous, I follow you on Twitter and just had to toss this question
out to you once I saw that you would be writing for DIY. I am getting married for the THIRD time - the first 2 marriages just didn't work out. We are still working on picking a date and pulling the whole thing together. So, this is my question for you -what is the proper etiquette, attire, formalities, etc. for a (gasp) third wedding? My future husband and I are not completely oblivious to the idea that having a full wedding day around a third wedding may be silly, but we would like to celebrate with the ones we love.
Thanks in advance for the help. Oh, and please, leave my name off…. Third time's the charm
Answer: I completely understand your obvious doubts on how you should go about carrying out your nuptials for the third time around. I would say that first you have to be grateful and thankful for the things you learned from the first two marriages. By shining a positive light on the two prior "not so better halves" you take away any negativity that you may inadvertently place on the third. Let's face it, sometimes things don't work out and your wedded bliss fades into a wedded miss. However, you should not stop yourself from being excited about marrying your third husband. You should be the most excited of all! You now know exactly what you are looking for in your prince charming! I say, enjoy the day as though it were your first. You do not have to be as elaborate with the actual ceremony, but you can still make it a day to remember. Have a small wedding with friends and family and allow the wedding to seamlessly transition into a celebration of love and friendship with the ones that you hold near and dear to your heart. If you have children from your first two marriages, allow them to be a part of the planning process and make it not only a union between you and your “Groom To Be” but a union of a family - one that will stand the test of time. Besides what you save on the actual
50
"pomp and circumstance," you can spend on the RING!!!!!! (wink)
This one is a keeper! Mr M Famous
Dear Mr. M Famous, I am desperately seeking your opinion in hopes that you
can help me finally make a very tough but super exciting decision. My fiancé and I are getting married in September of this year in Chicago. We are having a small wedding - 50-75 people - at a retro little restaurant in the city. So here is my question, should I wear a cocktail dress (short) or a traditional wedding dress (long). I truly love both and just need you to help me decide....
Sincerely, Waffling in the Windy City
A: Great question. I am a firm believer that you should fit the attire of any event with the atmosphere surrounding you. You wouldn't wear a Valentino gown to do your gardening or a bathing suit to a children's birthday party. Be sure to "dress the part." In keeping with the decor and theme of the space in which you will be wed, I personally love the idea of a retro style cocktail dress, and retro is definitely back - as if it ever left. Might I suggest a designer that I personally love? Simone Carvalli is bridal genius! The dresses have a certain “throw back"
feel all the while staying relevant…yet you will not look back and think “what was I thinking?!” I think you will like what you see. When all is said and done my dear, be sure that your special day is just that, “your day." Enjoy every moment and wear what makes you feel best.
Congrats, and I raise my Venti White Chocolate Caramel Mocha to you and say, “May you both have an M Famous life together!"
Be M Famous, Mr M Famous
