Jan_In_Maine Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It has been many years since I have posted on the fashion boards. I first found these boards back when I was researching our first cruise in celebration of our 30th anniversary. Today I am posting as we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary and in April will be going on our 25th cruise – this time with all the “kids” and most of the grandkids going with us. It will be a 7 day cruise to Bermuda … easy to get to departure port from Maine . The past few years have been interesting times for all …. So many cruises canceled and life changes for many. Last year I was diagnosed with MBC, which they caught early, so I only ended up having to have radiation for a few months. As of a few weeks ago they have said that as of now they do not see any cancer at this time. Needless to say, this cruise will be a celebration with all the kids, and Ken & I have decided to do a vow renewal – it is important to us that all the kids understand what our life has been and still is, and how blessed we are. So, after all the above, we have decided that our “wedding attire” will be very simple, no gowns, tuxes, etc. Kids have been told they can attend wearing whatever clothes they are comfortable with. Ken has a lovely red shirt that we found in Hawaii, and I want him to wear that with black slacks. I am going to wear black slacks and a nice shirt/blouse. I have found this top and would like to know what others think. https://alexevenings.com/collections/blouses/products/3-4-slv-scallop-hem Thanks for listening - Jan 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KKB Posted January 29, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2023 So glad to hear about your cruise...you won't regret it. ESPECIALLY happy to hear you are currently cancer free! What a blessing. Your story is the happy ending to a story my family knows all to well. Go look fabulous in that gorgeous top!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMamainMN Posted January 29, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I think it's very pretty and will be comfortable. I like that it's not red since that's what your husband will be wearing. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary and your cancer free diagnosis. Lots to celebrate for both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdw1972 Posted January 29, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It's beautiful - but I'd go with the 3/4 sleeve version since it's a fraction of the price! Still beautiful. Enjoy your cruise, vow renewal and cancer-free status! Sue/WDW1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted January 30, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 30, 2023 So your color scheme is black and red? I personally wouldn't choose that for a wedding, but I do like the shirt you're considering. If he's going to wear a red shirt and you're wearing black and white, I think you should carry a bouquet of red flowers to tie your outfit to his. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
