Beautiful Day

OUTTAKES

Autumn Donahue (bridesmaid): Fingers, Mademoiselle. Toes, Black cherry chutney. I needed something edgy to offset the grasshopper green.

Rhonda Tonelli (bridesmaid): Fingers, French. Toes, French. Some people get one color on their fingers and another on their toes, but I think that looks tacky.

Douglas Carmichael (father of the bride): The green on sixteen gave me trouble, but overall, I was happy with my short game. I shot an 80. After a few drinks tonight, I will tell anyone who asks that I shot a 79.

Pauline Tonelli (stepmother of the bride): I’m wearing blue tonight, nothing flashy, just a St. John suit I got at Bergdorf’s that does a good job of camouflaging my midsection. I let the nail technician at the salon talk me into a color for my fingers called “Merino Cool,” which is a sort of purplish gray. Very au courant, she said. They can barely keep it stocked, she said. I think it looks like the color my nails will turn naturally after I’m dead.

Kevin Carmichael (brother of the bride): Tree branch lifted! I can’t believe Margot was going to let them chop it off.

Nick Carmichael (brother of the bride): I think Finn has gotten hotter since she got married. I’ve seen this happen before. Women get married, they get hotter. Then they have kids, and… (motion with finger indicating downward spiral). Then���some of them-bounce back. These are the ones who have affairs with their personal trainers… or some lucky guy who happens to be in the right place at the right time.
