Gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got married in Virginia on September 17 and I was there! Vyque and the new Mr. Vyque (aka Curtis) were on cloud nine … and a livestream. They’re modern that way!
The beaming bride.
Vyque designed her ombre violet gown herself and had it made by local wedding-gown expert Angie Cavallaro.
Stunning!
It reminded me of Gwen Stefani’s wedding gown by John Galliano, but I prefer Vyque’s color and streamlined silhouette.

I appreciated the way the wedding cake matched the dress.
Fabulush New York blogger Midtown Girl was also in attendance. She and I diligently tweeted the wedding. So did Vyque, judging from this photo.
Maybe she's just playing Angry Birds.
I wore a strapless pinkish-lavender Zang Toi dress that has become my official cool-weather wedding-guest dress. I was happy that I matched Vyque’s color scheme, just like the cake.

I enjoy wedding ceremonies that are conducted by friends of the couple. It’s easy to get ordained online. 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 (“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. Love it! The bride and groom wrote their own vows. You can read those here.
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 to see what Vyque wore for that occasion.
Congrats to Vyque and Curtis!
Ohhhh lol my anti-spam word probably would’ve been played at their reception, as they’re “no strangers to love.” 😉
I actually have family on my mother’s side in Virginia, as well as an automotive blogger contact in Charlottesville and an online non-fashion friend in Petersburg! And yes, Virginia can be a bit of a downer; why do you think West Virginia and Kentucky bailed when they did lol?
I definitely love Mrs. Vyque’s wedding gown; the colouring makes it all that much better than the standard fare.
Big hugs to everyone!
You look smashing in that dress, Wendy – and Vyque’s dress is amazing.
I love the shout-out to “Firefly” – such a great series!
She looks beautiful, I love a bit of ombre!
So much gorgeousness! Vyque looks utterly radiant … and so do you, Wendy!
XOXOXO thanks for coming!!!
I REALLY like your dress!
Love the colors. The bride is gorgeous and so are you.
Oh I adore Vyque, and gosh she looked radiant on her big day! Thanks for featuring her lovely wedding!
I love weddings! The bride is gorgeous in those colors and your dress matches perfectly. I’ve not seen you in that Zang Toi before, it’s really fabulous. You’ve got a perfect figure for a fitted dress like that.
I’ve got weddings on the brain as my duaghter just got engaged, yay!
Congrats!
Wendy, I had such a FUN time with you at Vyque’s wedding!! Vyque looked stunning and your dress was simply gorgeous – loved it!! <3

Oh, I love the idea of a magician as officiant! And her dress is very elegant!
You were in Virginia! What part?
Good to know about the internet ordained issue here. I had been cooking something up in my head for a while. Oh well.
Lovely wedding dress and love how you matched!
