I am invited to a wedding that is a pretty big affair: old money marrying governor's daughter. It is predicted 44 degrees daytime. The ceremony takes place, outside. It's March 28, which means spring but 44 degrees daytime. I don't know why people marry outside before the flowers are blooming but not my call. The reception is inside what once was a barn (converted into a social gathering place). Services 6 p.m. and reception 7 p.m. until.
What do you wear. It's spring and the wedding is outside but the weather is not spring-like.
The bride's grandmother says most of her firends are wearing cocktail-length dresses, not maxi length. However, social norm dictates wearing of a long dress to an evening wedding after 5.
