Incorporating your GLO in your everyday life

[KSUViolet06]

I'm not too sure about how I would incorporate my sorority into my hypothetical wedding. Little touches are cool, but it's something that if you overdo it, it can be tacky.

I don't really like purple enough to do a whole sorority color scheme. I think pinning my badge somewhere inside my dress (as some of my sisters have done) would be my little "nod" to my GLO.

I wanted a pearlized/iridescent pink with gold champagne and green. I like the pearlized/iridescent coloring of the pinks, I should have stuck to strict champagne as a color--but it is too close to off-white, especially since I have extremely hoity-toity parents and MIL... And I chose green because my husband's favorite colors beyond "Maroon and White" are "Orange, Green and White", yeah, like U of Miami Hurricanes... LOL...

Of course, because of the way we did it, and it was a destination wedding, organization of colors did not happen to it. I wound up with quasi rose pink, off-white--reminiscent of a "callalily" (the flower I wanted, but not the correct color) and my maid of honor wore straight gold formal... That's because we planned the event in less than 4 months... Says something about stretching these things out if you want them done right. Besides in 2003, there was no accurate Wiki yet... LOL

This was a long time ago (1976), but my cousin had her badge incorporated into her bouquet. Not the one that she threw, but the one she carried down the aisle. The bouquets were Red and Yellow roses, with ferns, so we had Alpha Gamma Delta as part of the ceremony.

She didn't wear Red, Buff and Green, but had a little ceremony with her sisters during the reception. I was 14 at the time, and didn't realize I was a Alpha Gam-in training at the time. I really wish I could go back and relive the ceremony. If I find pictures, I'll post them.
