Haha, don't worry... I'm not engaged (yet) lol. Isn't that the best wedding cake topper ever lol I'm totally a beast at Halo, well I used to be like 5 years or so ago. Anywho, that's not the point in this entry...
Ever since I was a little girl I've always thought about how my wedding was supposed to be and how the dress was supposed to look. Over the years I've realized that weddings are pretty damn expensive especially if you try to achieve the "dream" wedding. I've had ideas planted in my head about how things should be, how things should look, whats supposed to happen and really... it's all a little unnecessary isn't it? I blame the media and well... society too I guess. What I'm getting at is why do the dresses have to be so extravagant? Why do they have to be so expensive? Why do you have to go above and beyond to "impress" your guests? And why do venues have to be so pricey too?
A lot of people would reply "it's only going to happen once and it needs to be special so you should go all out!" Ok... one, these days hardly anyone gets married once especially the ones who marry young. Second, isn't it already special? I mean you're about to commit and spend the rest of your life with the love of your life, isn't that special enough? I'm not saying going all out is a bad thing... but I really don't think it's for me. Yes, I do have a pinterest board with all my "ooo this is pretty for wedding!" stuff... but in all seriousness, I think I'm going to go through and make it practical and suit it to what I really want and what a wedding should be.
I'd be happy as can be having an intimate wedding in my parents backyard with close friends and family. Why not? I don't need to invite every single family member nor do I need to invite every person I've ever met. I don't need to try and impress anyone. It should just be me, my soul-mate, and our loved ones. I don't need a over expensive dress that I would never wear again. Why not get a fancy white dress and be able to re-wear it on special occasions like anniversary dates or whatever. I'm not looking for some over the top gathering so that I can post pictures on facebook and 'show off'. I mean... yes there will be pictures lol TONS of pictures but not to show off, just to share.
Is any of this making sense? What I'm really getting at is, I would already be excited, happy, and on cloud 9 just by knowing I'd be spending the rest of my life with the man I love... no matter how it happened, how much money was spent, or who all was there, that would be the only thing that would matter to me. Oh wait! I'd also like to point something out lol. I know above I said "hardly anyone gets married once" Well just to let readers know... this woman would only get married once lol. I'm 27, I've got enough history to know what I want and don't want when I get married I know it will last. You may think I'm crazy for being so confident... but I don't give a damn lol.
