What is the dress code for the reception?
Good question. Let me ask Bliss.
Me: Honey*, what is the dress code for the reception?
Bliss: I guess say "semi-formal."
Me: OK.
Bliss: Because "formal" would mean a tuxedo, and that would be bad news.
Me: OK.
Bliss: Semi-formal means a suit, right?
Me: Sure.
So, I guess the dress code is "semi-formal."
The following people will be wearing tuxedos (not pictured): Me (groom), David E. Washburn (father of the groom), David T. Washburn (brother of the groom), Sam Washburn (two-year-old nephew of the groom), Bernie Khaw (father of the bride) and A.J. Khaw (brother of the bride). Sadly, the puppy named Tux, will not be making the trip.
Bliss will be wearing the same dress she wore for our ceremony in Thailand. And Ruth Khaw (mother of the bride) and Sandy Washburn (mother of the groom) will be wearing dresses made by the same tailor who made Bliss' wedding dress.
(Between you and me, wear what you want. No one will be getting turned away at the door.)
* I don't really call Bliss "honey."
