To Our Valued Friends (Dress Code made simple)
To our friends and family who we dearly love,
For those of you who really know Josh you know he is not rude, he basically appears to have very little social education and truly does not understand why people are asking the quite reasonable questions they are asking. It really is bizarre but that is the way it is. I try my best but sometimes I give up after the tenth "But why".
Josh disorganising this wedding is actually a great form of professional development in terms of his social etiquette. I have let him go and enabled him to have a go at everything. He did a sort of OK job witht he dress code but I think it requires a simple explanation only possible with highly developed female communication skills.
The Dress Code:
The wedding will either take place at the Villa or the beach. Noew Kamala Beach is apparently a Muslim Beach, so there may be a strict dress code there. So if weget married on the beach it will have to be a nearby beach (we will confirm).
Females:
The bridal party are wearing long halter-neck dresses. Remember you can't look better than me. So girls can wear something tropical and casual (dress, pants/skirt and shirt). Something you would wear to a party in Darwin would be fine. I may not be wearing shoes so you don't have to either. Basically Territory Rig for those of you familiar with NT parliament house dress code.
Males:
Josh and his best man are wearing board shorts so you too can wear board shorts. They are also wearing jackets (correct me if I am wrong josh). I don't think they are wearing shoes either. My dearest boyfriend Craig is wearing a sarong and tank top. So guys, you can wear board shorts, cargo shorts, tailored shorts, casual pants, sarong, tank tops, shirts (long or short sleeved), no shoes, thongs or sandals.
And that is how you inform people of their attire requirements Josh. Any further questions Josh should be able to deal with them.
