@Maireas - I remember that coat!
And yes, it's Claes Iverson (?)

I'm afraid I don't like either - recently Max seems to have crossed the line between joyously colourful and stylish and oddly eccentric.

Oh good grief. Yes, I do remember.
It's obvious that Max enjoys trying different colours, shapes and designs, which I think is great. She's not just trying to hide or cover up, so I applaud that, but sometimes the choices don't necessarily work.

The tiara is pretty but the poor bride shoulda caught the bus!

Same for me (styling the veil) before it became the style. I'm not particularly fond of the look, but I did not want to wear a veil and had planned not to, but my mother had a conniption objected, so I actually made the veil myself and fashioned it so that in the pictures it looks as though I'm not wearing one.

ArcaneWireless · 01/10/2023 18:34

Love love love had a conniption 🙂

Vitriolinsanity · 01/10/2023 18:46

My DM had many conniptions about my wedding. Particularly the choice of Groom. The really annoying thing is that her conniptiondar is bang on.

The tiara In Wedding 2 is a banger! Cannot get next to the dress though.

SenecaFallsRedux · 01/10/2023 18:57

Yes, that tiara is very nice indeed. I do love a kokoshnik.

LadyEloise1 · 01/10/2023 19:00

It looks like we'll have to include "conniption" in our next thread title @Maireas 😂

MotherofPearl · 01/10/2023 19:17

I do like Fred in military dress. I know he looks a bit dishevelled, but that's part of his appeal. I like EBG's look there, the jacket cinched in and the full-skirt is flattering.

I am not a fan of that tiara I'm afraid. Too much going on.

Maireas · 01/10/2023 19:17

Love Princess Maria's tiara 😍
I'm also somewhat partial to a kokoshnik.
Does the groom have the best name on this thread or what?! Count Beryl - Alexandre de Saporta. You what, love?
Conniption is most definitely going to be in the next thread title. @ArcaneWireless can you find a rhyming word?

Once again, time to quote dear Elizabeth T, real diamonds (and I think the odd aquamarine) can NEVER be too vulgar.

She was flashing the Hope diamond on Parky at the time if memory serves.

Vitriolinsanity · 01/10/2023 19:21

@Maireas can we work in sedition? That'd certainly cause a conniption Grin

KillingMeDeftly · 01/10/2023 19:22

I had a great-aunt called Beryl. It's not a name I've seen on a man before.

Which I think can only have "amen" as an answer.

ArcaneWireless · 01/10/2023 19:34

Och the best I can think of is description and it doesn’t seem quite right Maireas 😢

KillingMeDeftly · 01/10/2023 19:38

That also reminds me I used to work with a Marion years ago, who was a man! But it was also John Wayne's real name.

I had a colleague called Beverley once, who was a man.
Beryl, though....

I taught a student called John Wayne about 10 years ago. I always had to stifle a giggle when I called his name on the register.

Maireas · 01/10/2023 20:44

That's great, @MotherofPearl !
