News, but not the serious kind
Your bride is quite a ketch…

Blog Guy, I really need some of your famous fashion help to plan my wedding. We’re getting married outdoors, at a yacht club, and the area where I wait to enter the ceremony is quite a distance from the altar.
I’m a very slow walker, and I’m worried my fiancé will just marry my trampy bridesmaid if I don’t get there fast enough.
Yacht club, huh? Well, I’m happy to help young couples in luff, such as yawl. I’ll get you to the altar much schooner than you imagined.
Are you really going to help, or just sit there making truly asinine sailing puns?
I’d like to do both, without the stern reprimand.
Here’s what you do. Plan a downwind course to the altar, and make your wedding dress from a spinnaker sail. It will catch the gusts and get you to the altar before you know it. Check out this bride here, on the way to tying the knot.
A spinnaker, huh? The wind is supposed to be pretty strong that day. Have you done this before?
Indeed, I had a bride do the same thing last week, at a yacht club in Connecticut. The hull nine yards.
And she was happy with the result?
I don’t know, but I expect to hear from her soon. She’s been spotted over the Horn of Africa….

Loving the shoesssssss!!!!!
and I dont care, maybe this blog’s fashion sense has rubbed off on me, but I like that dress….
Yachta, Yachta, Yachta …
Oh Mr. B. I could not help but keel over from laughter at this blog! That caused a wave of concern from my cow-irkers as to my condition. I really do have to stem the tide from all this insanity though and really anchor down. There is a lot of work to be done!
Thats a bellowing dress, Spin…
Imma let you finish, but are we allowed to say ‘asinine’ on this blog?
Now, now, we mizzen’t go overboard!
Wow, gorgeous dress. I may have to go bonk some guy on the head and get him to marry me just so I can wear that
@sarabelle: I can just see you sailing down the aisle toward the guy with the concussion…
A capelet? Like the family in Romeo and Juliet?
“Get to the back of the boat!”
“Stern?”
“GET TO THE BACK OF THE BOAT”
Eh, makes me laugh.
The dress has an Orinoco Flow about it. Makes me want to sail away, sail away, sail away.
E.
Dont anyone ask what an orninoco flow is… unless you wanna be zapped….
If it is any similarity to a laminar flow (no, not a Lamar flow) then I have a general idea.
