Gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu<\/a> got married in Virginia on September 17 and I was there! Vyque and the new Mr. Vyque (aka Curtis) were on cloud nine <\/a>… and a livestream<\/a>. They’re modern that way!<\/p>\n

The beaming bride.<\/p><\/div>\n

Vyque designed her ombre violet gown herself and had it made by local wedding-gown expert Angie Cavallaro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stunning!<\/p><\/div>\n

It reminded me of Gwen Stefani’s wedding gown by John Galliano, but I prefer Vyque’s color and streamlined silhouette.<\/p>\n

I appreciated the way the wedding cake matched the dress.<\/p>\n

Fabulush New York blogger Midtown Girl<\/a> was also in attendance. She and I diligently tweeted the wedding. So did Vyque, judging from this photo.<\/p>\n

Maybe she's just playing Angry Birds.<\/p><\/div>\n

I wore a strapless pinkish-lavender Zang Toi dress that has become my official cool-weather wedding-guest dress<\/a>. I was happy that I matched Vyque’s color scheme, just like the cake.<\/p>\n

I enjoy wedding ceremonies that are conducted by friends of the couple. It’s easy to get ordained online<\/a>. One of my stepdaughters — I have three — had her ceremony conducted by a magician friend. I guess magicians are good at these things because Vyque’s ordained friend was a magician … not to mention her ex-boyfriend from college! How civilized! His remarks included references to Clint Eastwood and Bill and Ted<\/a> (“Be excellent to each other.”). Her sister’s toast later included a quote from Mal Reynolds, a character from the sci-fi television series Firefly<\/em><\/a>. Love it! The bride and groom wrote their own vows. You can read those here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While many states accept Interweb-ordained ministers as the real deal, Virginia isn’t very sporting about it, so Mr. and Mrs. Vyque had a secret ceremony before the big fiesta. Click here <\/a>to see what Vyque wore for that occasion.<\/p>\n

Congrats to Vyque and Curtis!<\/strong><\/p>\n
