Party Pictures

A month ago I had a party.  A historic event in my life.  I described it here.

Many of you asked to see pictures.  There was only one person taking photos and they used a film camera.  Do you remember film?  Well, film has to be sent away for developing and that's why it took so long to get these.

The photos themselves aren't very good, but they give a glimpse of what the occasion was like.  I'm still glowing in its memory.

  1. I think the pictures are great - the party looks like so many that I've been at, so it shows how authentic of an experience this was for you (well, minus the few someone always gets of me eating or sticking my tongue out at the camera. I am really a child at heart!)
    I love the picture of you at the food table - it's so quintessentially feminine.

  9. Oh, I can tell that this was the real deal--from the spread of goodies to the wine. And what a great group of gals.

  10. It looks like you all were having a fabulous time - and yes, you were definitely glowing! I agree with Cara, that one photo really radiates femininity. Also your make-up looks really great. Everyone looks so happy. I also love film photos because they're often depict a more natural capture than digital photos. You can't just "delete" film and go again, there's that element of surprise in the developing.

  11. Everyone looks fantastic! What a great group of friends you have. The strawberry blonde + the gal with the pixie cut look so familiar. I'm sure I've seen them out + about on the island before!

  12. Awesome pics! They capture the sweetness of the meeting and how I wish I could have been there! I would be the most ridiculous person in the room and every party needs one! And I would have met you, Ally and a fantastic group of girls! I was there mentally though and by the way it took place on the day after my birthday! Kisses :)

  15. Oh film... how i miss you.
    The surprise of finding out how pictures turned out..
    i love the fact that these pictures are so candid and you look like you are in place. I think you chose that dress well, same as the earrings, and most importantly, you had a great time.

    You look lovely in that dress.

  22. When I saw the first photograph, I couldn't figure out where you were in the picture. You looked just like all the other girls (this is meant as a compliment.) You did look lovely in the photos and it does look like it was a great party with wonderful guests. How fun! I'd love to have a party like that.

  23. Ally, I have to agree with Debbi in the comment above. Every single one of the those pictures features lovely women, including you. Your dress is so pretty, and in one of my favorite colors, blue. I like this hairstyle on you, too. It really frames your face and highlights your beautiful eyes.

    Film? I had to smile. I haven't seen any in such a long time! lol.
