Black Tie Gala

 Here we are all dressed up for the black-tie gala.  The Handsome Husband sure looks fantastic in his tux.  He loves his tux.  This year we got him a silver with navy polka dot tie to wear.  I'm a natural at tying a bow tie, got it the first try!  The sun was really bright and it was nice and warm.  Katie came by on her way home from work and took a couple of pictures of us.
 Can I just tell you that those shoes were killing my feet!  By the end of cocktail hour, I could barely stand in them.  I took the pretty baubles off the toe and threw the shoes away when I got home.  I've worn them for 3 years now and I guess they have seen better days.
 HH wants us all to see how unexpected and bold the material is that lines his tux.  He just loves it.
 This is one of my favorite pictures.  Notice how when we smile our eyes practically shut!

Ok, I got a little carried away with the smiling.  Truth is, Katie was cracking us up.  I had tears in my eyes from the laughter.

Looks like a fun evening and the pictures are wonderful. I think that we all understand about the shoes. I walked all over London once in a new pair and almost died! However, I wasn't going to miss anything - stupid girl - hahaha!

You had to go and spoil the mirage by telling the truth about the shishishi shoes. LOL that you tore them up and tossed em out after. Your dress is beautiful and so is HH's tux.
