Lady in red

My #1 wardrobe rule when attending weddings is to not upstage the bride. So the idea of wearing head-to-toe red initially gave me pause. But this bride is particularly laid-back, and hers was a rustic/woodsy-themed fall wedding held in northern Ontario, where the foliage is an explosion of crimson, sienna and goldenrod. I pretty much blended into the background. And the conservative cut of the dress ensured I wouldn't offend any traditional Catholic sensibilities, though I let loose below the ankle.  

This round of photos is a 2nd attempt. The first round didn't turn out at all despite the best efforts of my friend P (thank you my dear!!) - I didn't adjust the settings properly for the dim lighting and I was rushing to get away from the creepy guy staring at us. Being in my parents' backyard was much more carefree.
