i think doing something elegant and traditional would be best and i
am going with my hands and feet hennaed because that is a part
of "me". in fact, it is a family wedding, one of my husband's
cousins, one of "the kennedy's", is having a full traditional
catholic wedding in one of the biggest catholic churches in southern
california. an apsolutely beautiful cathedral, i am so looking
forward to this fairytale type wedding with full cathederal train, it
is going to be fun and i am going to be my ol' funky self. i think
they expect it now. in fact, i had been ask by at least 3 people, to
bring a "bottle" of my finest, tee hee. secret henna decoration in
the bathroom during the reception, they will certainly question his
brother in the girls salon, ha ha. let ya know how it goes. and you
have fun too. jennifer

: I am going to a friend's wedding this weekend and want to henna
: myself as part of my usual ritual of adornment that includes my
: clothes, shoes, makeup, hair, jewelry etc.
:
: I got to thinking/wondering if this is appropriate? My friend is
not
: of a hennaing culture and neither is her fiance and probably no one
: in the wedding party or any of the guests. So is there something
: inappropriate about hennaing onesself for such an event? The
wedding
: is not in New York City, where almost anything goes!
:
: What about, just hypotheticaly, if the friend were, say, Indian?
And
: I wasn't part of her henna party, could I still show up with my own
: henna? Any ideas?
:
: I am thinking of doing simple finger rings (a la Loretta Roome)
which
: I think are so elegant. My point is, I am not doing anything that
: would be too freaky for people to handle.
