Time once again to link with Thea at A Snap, A Set and A Song for this week's theme of Heatwave. Stop by her site to see her take - and possibly join us with your own post.
Leave it to Thea to come up with a theme that I have to be creative to try and come up with a post. While she and her fellow Australians are complaining about 40° and above temperatures, we are looking at a forecast temperature of 47° here - quite a bit warmer than usual for this time of year. Of course, Thea's 40°C would be my 104°F ... and my 47°F would be her 8°C ... similar numbers - quite a different meaning!
A Snap
So since our winter would not produce any heatwave snaps, I reached back into the archives to one of the hottest days in my memory. That day was August 24, 2011 - my daughter's wedding. It was a Disney Fairytale Wedding held in Walt Disney World. For those of you not familiar with sub-tropical Florida in the summer, let me just say it was extremely hot and steamy ... even by Florida standards. Just have a look at my son's shirt (or my grandsons' hair)!
A Set
Don't let the tuxedos fool you - it was HOT!!!!
A Song
Now I know that Thea was expecting me to use a different song, but the Broadway person in me decided to go with this number from Kiss Me Kate. (The song in the set is from the musical, Pajama Game - the first community theater show I ever did.)But just for Thea ... is this what you were thinking? :-)
Ahhhh...what a lovely stroll down wedding memory lane. It WAS hot!! I didn't notice your son's shirt until you pointed it out. I love how one of the twins wanted ice...good thinking!
ReplyDeleteGreat song...it's too darn hot alright!
And nope, that wasn't the song I thought you'd go with. I was thinking this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE2fnYpwrng
Hadn't thought of that but yes - would have been a good choice. The Marilyn Monroe song was the one that first came to my mind. :-)
DeleteOh, your poor son, he must have been roasting! Lucky your daughter had the strapless dress - she looked pretty much unaffected by the heat!
ReplyDeleteAt least my son wasn't wearing a jacket. My son-in-law and I probably had it the worst of all in our tuxedos. Happy when picture taking was over and we could go back to our room where it was air conditioned. At least the pictures came out great!
DeleteGreat pics and I remember you telling me about the heat. It must have been agony in those tuxes.I can see his shirt - poor guy But you all look like you were having a great time and you really can't tell that it's a very hot summer day..
ReplyDeleteThat's what the photographer kept telling everyone! :-)
