Can I get married in black? Desperately need help!!!!

I am having a mini-crisis and desperately need help!

DP and I are going away in a few weeks and are planning to have a quickie wedding while we're there - just a 2 min walk in walk out job with our kids. It's not a big deal for us, we've been together ages and talked about it a lot over the last few years. I'd like to make a bit of an effort but am clueless as to what I should wear! I am not a very girly girl so nothing flouncy and wouldn't be seen dead in white. Also it's going to be dead cold where we are so I need to be able to wear tights and woolly cardi on top, and put my warm fluffy boots on straight after? Would like to be able to ice skate in it as that's one of our possible post-wedding activities!

I bought this dress a while back and am totally in love with it. I know I'll look like I'm off to a party in it, but could I get away with wearing it? Was thinking of accessorizing with colour, possibly coloured tights (just so I can look back at the photos and say how dated I look!). Is it a stupid idea? Do I need to think again? Help!!!!!

BTW DP has bought himself a nice suit (metal grey). I wish I was a bloke, it's so easy for them!

Thanks again - I do love MN!

I am going to go into town this week and look for a fake fur shrug/stole thing - I fear the cloak might be OTT even for NY!

suwoo, those louboutin heels are AMAZING and just what I was thinking of! I've never had a pair of shoes like that, but this would be a good excuse - surely?

I would say Sunflower, that your wedding would be the ideal occasion to splash out on shoes
