L.E. + A.S.

In typical Elliot fashion, my cousin's wedding this past weekend was both a tad chaotic and extremely tasteful. Given their reputation as a notoriously late family, it was no suprise to me that the ceremony, which was called for 4 p.m. on Sunday started closer to 5. While the bride was scotch taping parts of her dress to her chest, my Vera Wang bridesmaid dress almost failed me Janet Jackson-style. As I bent over to pick up my 3-year-old cousin's shoe, my strap snapped and part of the fabric ripped! Yikes - wardrobe malfunction! Thank g-d for those safety pins.

Even with all the excitement, the bride was calm, cool and collected. There was so much love and happiness in the room that no one even noticed the missing yarmulkes. My nana, who turns 90 today, sparkled as she took control of the microphone and sang a little ditty to the bride and groom. I fully forgot about my bridal diet and indulged in the Four Seasons' famous cotton candy and merengues. It was an amazing night - take a look:
