Talk about making an entrance. This bride’s wedding arrival was on fire when she showed up with an entire fire brigade in tow.
Bride Julie Gorman’s plans for arriving on time to her wedding were spoiled when she and her bridesmaids got caught in heavy Los Angeles traffic. They decided to ditch their slow-moving limo in favour of walking to the ceremony. Luckily for them, the LA Country Fire Fighters were close by to lend a helping hand. The firefighters saw the women on foot and offered them a special escorted ride.
“Great Story, you never know what you’ll find working an overtime in the County,” writes the firefighters in an Instagram post. “E69 was on scene of a traffic accident blocking both lanes of Topanga Blvd. As they were clearing the scene they noticed the future Mrs Gorman and her 2 bridesmaids walking along the side of the road holding up their dresses out of the mud. Obviously curious the Captain asked if they could help. They explained their limo was stuck in traffic and they were late for the the wedding. The Bride and Bridesmaids were loaded into the Fire Engine and given a code 3 escort to the wedding venue just in the nick of time. This picture showed up at the Fire Station a few weeks later.”

One size fits all? No! Not when it comes to your body shape. Women come in all shapes and sizes and it’s so important to know your body…
If the wedding invitation states ‘cocktail attire’ as the dress code, it means you are expected to wear sophisticated clothing that is neither too formal nor too casual. This means that you can play with the colours and accessories you choose to wear. Oftentimes, it can be tricky to figure out what to wear. Don’t worry we’ve got you covered.
Men
Stick to wearing a dark suit with either a white or colour shirt, or a suit jacket and slacks. You can accessorise with a fun tie or pocket square in bold colours or patterns.

Women
Anything between a knee-length dress to just shorter than an evening dress is appropriate. You can also wear a jumpsuit, dressy suit or a nice blouse with dress pants or a skirt.
