I went to a good friends wedding last month. This has been such a joyful occasion watching this couple go from hooking up to full blown love and committment. My husband was the best man and the day was gorgeous up in Durham.
The evening previous, we all spent time having cocktails in a little place called The Happy Buddah Bar. Fun times and meeting random people who are close to Dave and Andrea. I was just hanging out with my husband chatting a bit when a woman approached us and in a beautiful Russian accent struck up conversation about how we know the Bride and Groom. I didnt know her but of course engaged in conversation. She asked us about our nationalities, how we met and the dreaded question... Will you have children? She was enthused about the question but quickly was deflated when we both recoiled and immediately said OH NO, NO!! She seemed confused, but probed deeper why and then understood our feelings on it. The conversation ended with Dave asking for Robs attention and her husband pulling her to his side.

Later that evening, my husband asked me if I knew who it was we were talking to. I shrugged and said that I hadn't a clue, but she sure seemed nice. He said that it was Andrea's boss, Natalia Vodianova. Yah, who is that? I'm very clueless to fashion etc, but when he said that she is the supermodel for Calvin Clein it clicked. Heh... A supermodel actually came up to *me* and struck up conversation.



I almost asked her what she does for a living and how she knows Dave and Andrea but the conversation ended before I had done so.  I wonder how that would have struck her, someone not recognising her.  Embarassing?  Nah... I cant afford the stuff she photographs in and because I cant, I dont bother with looking at it.
But, having said that, I will say that she is the most genuine person.  Nicer than most people I even work with...
Just sayin'...
