Playing dress-up was serious business when my kids were little. Since both of them active in drama, their love affair with costumes continued through high school. True, my son still goes gaga over cowboy boots and goofy hats and my daughter is a seamstress at her college\u2019s theater department. But I thought they\u2019d left their dress-up days behind like the rest of my adult family – mother, sister, brother, cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws, out-laws – and become staid, respectable and a little bit stuffy.<\/p>\n

The photo booth at my son\u2019s wedding reception proved me wrong. The picture factory went into production after the ceremony ended, while the wedding party and immediate family went outside for pictures. By the time we entered the reception hall, the to the photo booth was populated by revelers wearing the hats, clown nose, pig and elephant noses, scarves, shawls, kazoos, do-rags, aprons, parasols, and old glasses I described in All Packed, one of last week\u2019s posts.<\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t expected the older generations to let their hair down with such enthusiasm. Seeing my uncle, the former high school world history teacher who gave killer essay tests, enter the booth wearing a blond wig and tiara far exceeded my wildest expectations of silliness. But he wasn\u2019t the only one whose inhibitions bowed to the lure of playing dress-up. The party was awash in goofiness of the rib-tickling, nose-snorting variety. It transcended generations and genders, inflicting belly laughs indiscriminately.<\/p>\n

Next time my son and new daughter visit, they have to bring their guest book which is full of photo booth pictures of the guests, along with their signatures and well wishes. I need a second look at one of the pictures. If my uncle\u2019s neat and proper signature is beside the photo of the man in the blond wig and tiara, I\u2019ll believe it really happened.<\/p>\n

And if it did, I\u2019m gonna rent a booth for my daughter and future son-in-law\u2019s wedding in July. Apparently, this dress-up thing is in the blood, and I\u2019m not gonna fight it. We\u2019ll make it a family tradition instead.<\/p>\n
