I was talking to a girl the other day, and she told me a boy had made a really bad mistake, but that he s sorry. She said she thought she was in love with him, so what should she do?? I mentally smirked and said, "You'll feel that way about plenty of boys in the future." I left the conversation feeling smug and mature, until I realized how right I was.
I still feel that way. "Oh look, a boy! He is very nice! Hm, and attractive. Oh look, I'm firting with him! THIS IS LOVE! Oops, he did this. And he said that. And, well, that's not ideal, but...I don't care, TRUE LOVE WILL PREVAIL!" Until the next guy, anyway.
All of this has naturally made me think of wedding plans! Lol. I've been told to make plans before they are necessary, so here goes.
I like fall weddings.
I have no idea what kind of dress I will have, but it will not be Strapless: Bane of my Existence.
I ike the idea of bridesmaids wearing a brightly colored dress and neutral cardigan or vice versa.
I want my husband in classic black or grey.
Bridesmaids promenade in with groomsmen.
I like the idea of family communion, but as my dad and brother aren't Christians, that might be weird. Maybe just a couple communion. Or whole church. Dunno.
Short ceremony, but long enough to be awesome.
No live music, unless I marry someone rich and have a string quartet.
Oh, lots of photographers and photographs! I will put my bridal party through every pose imaginable and it will be fun!
Reception will have food, maybe a buffet.
Cake will be mostly chocolate.
First dance will only last a minute before all couples are invited to join.
LOTS OF DANCING!
Maybe alcohol. Some people cannot drink responsibly and might ruin the event. Some people can, and will have fun! Will depend on who is invited.
Did I mention lots of dancing? That's all I care about. If people want to socialize with the bride, they will have to bust a move to talk with me.
Naturally, I will only marry someone confident enough to also dance and look foolish.
My thoughts on weddings can apparently be narrowed down to clothing and dancing. Planning done. Now all I need is a boy to irrationally love. No wonder I am perpetually single. I have the emotional maturity of a middle schooler.
What about flowers? And also, NO LIVE MUSIC?!?!? WHAT?!? I disagree with your wedding plans. I veto that. Do I get a vote?
ReplyDeleteI have more thoughts. Don't worry, I'll share them with you. :)
I don't have an opinion on flowers yet? Once I figure out colors, I will...go to a florist and say, "Show me something pretty!" My knowledge of flowers is sad.
ReplyDeleteI would be okay with live music for the processional. I forgot about that. But I'm not a huge fan of a mini concert where everyone waits for people to sing. Maybe the whole group could sing a hymn. I dunno. I don't think of music when I think of weddings! I'm sorry!
Your vote has been counted, but as president of Wedding Land, I get veto power.
My piano professor arranged a song for the candle lighting for our wedding. He played the piano for us, and that part was only about 2 minutes instead of the regular 15 while you're waiting for the soloist to finish. People can have that kind of stuff if that's what they want, but I didn't want to stand there forever doing nothing.
ReplyDeletePresident, if you need musical advice for that kind of thing, look no further. I've got your hookup. LOL I almost typed hiccup. :)
Noted, for both hookups and hiccups. :)
ReplyDeleteMy comment is that Jennie Smith was a musician for my wedding, along with her amazing parents and they rocked the house! And I don't care if people had to wait. It was my wedding, not theirs!
