I have weddings on the brain. Watching to much Say Yes to the Dress. So this is where we talk about what we'd like to have in our weddings from our dresses to the appetizers. I've already picked out my dress. This is from the Alfred Angelo Disney Princess Collection. It's the dress inspired by Belle so of course, I love it.


P.S.-NO ONE ELSE HERE MAY WEAR MY DRESS!

Mine's going to be a white trash wedding, happening only because I'm pregnant and my parents are forcing me to marry the father. We will have the reception at our home in the trailer park and I will borrow a white top and some pants from a friend. It's going to be very classy and we will serve mini hamburgers and cookies for dessert.

I hate fussing around and things, so I'd probably do something small in the town I used to live in at the church I went to when I was a kid. Assuming I married an Australian or someone who was willing to go to Australia. It's not an old church or anything and it's all very modern looking and has a lot of air and space and natural light and I wouldn't wear a big white dress with all the sequins/rhinestones/etc. and tulle ever. I'd probably just wear something simple but pretty and have interesting shoes and hair instead. And then we'd all go have lunch or dinner or whatever in my Nanna's backyard because it's pretty and has a nice garden and a water feature and also a massive table that you could definitely fit a good few people around.

I don't actually think about the wedding thing a lot and pretty much came up with all of that just then, but it's probably fairly close to what I'd do. It's based more on my dislike for big poofy dresses and organising parties than anything I've spent an extended period of time considering.
Yay.

[Cirque]

A friend drew a picture of my wedding in the future, I think it's as accurate as one can get through paint.

[Pandora]

That is one awesome water buffalo.

[Agonistes]

i'm digging on the flamingo ring-bearers, as well.

[absynth aura]

I myself liked the decorative skull to lessen the morbidness.




I want a simple ceremony, on the beach. Just a few people. At sunset, in the middle of summer.

[Rob]

Mine was a long time ago.

I did not wear a dress.

I wear nothing else.

But yeah, I was totally joking lol.
My actual wedding is just going to be a massive party. Fuck the vows, I want a pretty dress and a good time.

Also, Sarah knows me very well and Ag, my dad would very much appreciate the shotgun. His got taken after he shot that guy by accident.

I understand that but I've always been excited about having a wedding. Granted, it won't be something large and big. Just friends and family. I mean it'll be the one day I get to be a princess so I look forward to having it.

mine's a quarter inch from being too short to be legal and has a pistol-grip and an attached bandolier thingie.  also it has no sights on it, and is basically no use for anything but a life of crime, or home protection, as i use it.  i think the last time i actually fired it was five or so years ago.




i'm actually going to be planning a commitment ceremony pretty soon here.  suzy's daughter is not going to be happy till she sees us married with a freaking ceremony and party, because she's already got her own wedding out of her system and now wants to plan another.  neither suzy nor i are the event-organizing sort, but, like, half my friends are, so pretty much all i will have to do is show up, repeat after someone, and sing the karaoke song i picked out a few months ago to sing at suzy at the reception.  oh, and alert my backup dancers.  i have four.

should be a magical event.

oh, i've already made the commitment.  that's a done deal.  no one can put it asunder.  as far as i'm concerned, now we're just celebrating it.  it's a pretty epic union, you don't even know.  people actually had to sit down when they found out about it and junk.

i got a toaster from the lesbian union for recruitment (that is a running lesbian joke.  don't worry if it makes no sense to you), and i've got two ovens.  really what i want is some of those badass front-loader washer-dryers that are as tall as me and have all the glass on them.  but, that sort of thing i should make sure our parents know about because i am pretty sure those are out of your budget, as they are out of my own budget.  and if they aren't, i want you to take me shopping immediately.

i'll totally invite you though.  youre close enough to go.

I want swans at my wedding.  I want swans and doves and turtles and if I don't get them I will scweam and scweam and scweam!

wouldn't it be more appropriate to honk, coo, and whatever sounds turtles make?

and given your circle of friends,
i suspect the menagerie +/or costume equivalent could be arranged

[Agonistes]

so, mockery wants to be a princess.  you want to be a diva.  i want to be a rake.  the good cap'n wants to be whaht traysh.  i see where we are going with this.




and len, i used to own a 120-lb sulcata tortoise named spurs.  i can illuminate for you you that turtles grunt and sigh much like an inarticulate human or large dog, especially when they are bitching at you, but they don't have actual vocals of any kind.  the grunting is sort of a controlled snort-whoosh.

[lentower]

so have a chewbacca at your wedding?

[Agonistes]

i can make a chewbacca noise, should it be called for.

[imaginary friend]

I want swans at my wedding.  I want swans and doves and turtles and if I don't get them I will scweam and scweam and scweam!

swans actually go through a type of adolescence for a couple of years...and they're really nasty and ill-tempered during it.

I don't have it quite planned out, but that it will be an outdoors wedding, and since 5th grade I decided I would be barefoot.

It will most likely be colourful.
He will probably be wearing suspenders.
Fire breathers will probably be present.
Also hula hoops.
And maybe some acrobats.

i asked my girlfriend if she would prefer i wrestle a tiger, or a bear to prove my worthiness in the pre-ceremonial games (she is aware in my fantasy version of our wedding, there are greek game-type festivities and bread and circuses).  she said i could wrestle the boar after we dig it up. *






*she of course was referring to the practice of burying an unbutchered, but fully dressed hawg in the earth with a bed of hot coals as a means of facilitating amazing bbq, which actually is among the plans.  apologies to the vegetarians of varying intensity in the vicinity.

I don't actually think about the wedding thing a lot and pretty much came up with all of that just then, but it's probably fairly close to what I'd do. It's based more on my dislike for big poofy dresses and organising parties than anything I've spent an extended period of time considering.
Yay.

I understand that but I've always been excited about having a wedding. Granted, it won't be something large and big. Just friends and family. I mean it'll be the one day I get to be a princess so I look forward to having it.

I consider every one of my birthdays to be the day I get to be a princess. No one considers me to be a birthday princess, but I still feel a sense of whimsical entitlement all day.
Consequently, many of my birthdays tend to feel a little disappointing :\

Yeah but you do you get to wear your princess dress each year?

[tanqgirl]

if i ever get to have a real wedding with like a ceremony and stuff...i either want to do it on the beach in CA and i'll probably wear a summer dress that i'll make myself and it'll probably be white and purple and vinsanity will wear whatever the hell he feels like it, probably a buddhist robe knowing him...and we'd be wed by a buddhist monk and the puppies would be our flower girl/ring bearer respectively 

OR i wanna have a halloween type wedding! i'd dress up in an uber tim burton type dress and mattice would do the same with a tux and everyone invited would have to wear a halloween costume and the puppies would still be flower girl/ring bearer and would either be dressed as jack and sally or amanda and brian as the dolls

[Mockery]

Puppies as ring bearers? That's an adorable idea. When I move in with BF, he wants a Husky and I want a pug. Either way, I'd love to train them to come down the aisle.

I love theme weddings. I don't care what Style says. Theme weddings are awesome!

So, my father was a wedding photographer. I have been to more weddings than I care to admit. Everyone assumes that I must know exactly what I want and I've had a vision of it for years, yadda, yadda. Nope. Sure don't. I just know what I don't want. Also, I've learned that less is more. The one thing that's going to be ridiculous, though, is how much control I want over the music...

his pastor could ask him his vows,

and they can pronounce you married together.

Although its not super expensive! You can have it be expensive if you want, but you sit down with disney and tell them your budget and they make it work for you

Boyfriends a super disney fan and has done mega research for it. It'd cost the same to have it there at the chapel then it would to have it anywhere else! My friends got married there beautiful wedding for under $10,000 which included a week long stay and a cruise. So honeymoon was included.

hubby says we can have a halloween wedding!!!! i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to have everyone dressed up in costumes for everything, but at the very least for the reception!!

[wijsgeer]

We decided on a steampunk wedding, partly ecause it is a relatively easy theme (that is, you can have some sort of steampunk atmosphere by little adjustments to your outfit). The Netherlands (at least this part of it - where we don't celebrate carnaval) has not a strong tradition of dressing up. Halloween is not regularly celebrated (not for grown ups certainly!!!) and theme parties are something for students.
We had posted an explanation to steampunk on our website and a series of pictures with examples, some modest some extravagant. Many people said they were much helped by this. Almost everyone made some effort (and some made a terrific effort) and it did give the party a really extra something special.

[meganpaige]

The rehearsal dinner is largely a more personal event pared down to wedding party and certain family members only where the bride and groom get to thank everyone for their help/input/time/money in making their wedding possible. Traditionally small gifts are given. Sometimes it doubles as a way for the bride and groom to receive any guests that have come a long way to be in town for their day, but that depends on how big/how much money there is devoted to the dinner.

[tanqgirl]

i was in my cousins wedding and we had like 3 "rehearsal" dinners...

one was like 3 days before the wedding and we all dressed up and went to a country club and it was so both sides of the family could meet each other and the bridal party got "presents" (they were ugly jewelry that they wanted us to wear with our ugly dresses and a target gift card) and the guys got something too but i forget what...

the next night at my cousins parents house they had a party/bbq for just our side of the family and the groom and his direct family so we could meet them even more

then we had the actual rehearsal and went to an Italian place afterwords...

moral of this story? americans are weird and will make up many excuses to get together and eat

A friend got married this past weekend. Odd, because she's always told everyone she's not the marrying kind. Anyhoo, I didn't get to go (work) but I've seen some videos on the YouTube and I gotta say...merp. She mentioned she wanted a flash mob, so her friends made her a flash mob, but she knew about it. That's like throwing your own surprise birthday party. ALSO after the ceremony, they tore through a paper banner like an American high school football team. I'm a bit on the fence about the last part there.

Even the thought of "my wedding" scares the crap out of me. How my wedding and why? I don't even know i'll meet somebody who will worth for it.

People mostly make plans and dream about something they aim to do. And getting married should not be a person's aim in life, imho.

Of course if you have a bf or gf it's normal to dream about getting married.

But for single people, i think finding the love of their life must be the higher priority. Otherwise, people go get married to the first person they see just because everybody else is getting married.

I don't and can't dream about getting married. It's weird and useless when you can not imagine the face of the groom  And i think the one you'll get married to, the place, the time, the wedding dress etc. would completely change you dreamed about them to be.

some single people just have a goal of having
good friends in their life, and aren't looking for a bf/gf ...

It's much more important than finding the one or getting married.

when i was little, people telling me that one day i would grow up and have kids and a husband used to give me this vague feeling like i couldn't breathe.  the thought of having to marry someone who was supposed to get out in the world while i sat in a house with his brats was suffocating and horrible to me.  i wanted to see my future open and full of possibilities and adventure.  how was i supposed to fight evil and have adventures with somebody's kids tagging along after me?  i hated domesticity; i didn't even try to make money by babysitting; yardwork always paid better.

once i started to suspect i was gay, of course (about age seven), the future changed abruptly, and i started to dream about marrying the girl of my dreams, probably whom i would meet while rescuing her from dragons or something.  i even told my mother and grandmother i wanted to marry a girl, which as one can imagine, thrilled them no end.  but i never worried about what the wedding would be like; it didn't matter.  i've seen too many women allow themselves to terrorize their families and spouses-to-be over making something perfect that isn't even a tangible thing.

since my dad had already been married before, i didn't see the value in marriage as a permanent thing anyway.  so it seemed doubly wasteful to go to so much trouble for something that no one had any idea how it would turn out.  it seemed more practical to have a small, quick wedding if one must marry, and then have the big giant wedding when it came time to re-dedicate the marriage or whatever.  that way the wedding could actually reflect the greatness of the relationship and not just be some self-indulgent fantasy beginning to a future that didn't exist.

That's what the whole society does, if you are a girl you have to find your charming prince and wear a fluffy thing and get married to him etc. Even worse, they always demostrate the women's role in family life as "cooking, baking, giving births and caring kids, doing their best to please their husbands who have jobs and working their asses for a living everyday.

I'm not againist such women. People should be able to do whatever they want. I'm just againist that people impose it as if some other way of living is impossible.

Marriage is like a mould or a dress, that fits perfect to someone but some don't fill alright in it.

once i started to suspect i was gay, of course (about age seven), the future changed abruptly, and i started to dream about marrying the girl of my dreams, probably whom i would meet while rescuing her from dragons or something.  i even told my mother and grandmother i wanted to marry a girl, which as one can imagine, thrilled them no end.  but i never worried about what the wedding would be like; it didn't matter.  i've seen too many women allow themselves to terrorize their families and spouses-to-be over making something perfect that isn't even a tangible thing.

Thanks god the next generation will be far luckier than us in such aspects.
As a child i remember dreaming about the day i'd grow up and get married. But divorcing parents didn't help. I lost my faith and respect to the concept of marriage. And my granny has been talking since i got to be 20. It got me bored. And i started dreaming about another life which includes traveling around the world, having a garden, advancing in my career, etc.
I find it more important to improve myself than improving a family. Because unless i learn standing on my own feet, i'll be a co-dependent person. And that's the last type of person i want to be.
Btw i must say, personally, i am impressed by your frankness. Because people mostly can not come out until they become adults. Thus most of them grow up as unconfident and shy people.

since my dad had already been married before, i didn't see the value in marriage as a permanent thing anyway.  so it seemed doubly wasteful to go to so much trouble for something that no one had any idea how it would turn out.  it seemed more practical to have a small, quick wedding if one must marry, and then have the big giant wedding when it came time to re-dedicate the marriage or whatever.  that way the wedding could actually reflect the greatness of the relationship and not just be some self-indulgent fantasy beginning to a future that didn't exist.

Marriage, as i told above, is some kinda mould. It can make you feel either relaxed or unconfortable. You never know without trying. You can not know what it is like to get married to a person before you really get married, imho. I totally agree with your idea of small and quick wedding. Because the more you focus on the details, the more stressful it becomes-though it supposed to be one of the best days of your life.

i was always more of a tomboy growing up and never thought about marriage...once when i was hanging out with some of my girly friends, they were discussing their dream weddings (in middle school wtf?) and they asked me and i said "i dont know, why the fuck would i know that?" they only times i had ever even considered getting married at that point was to jack skellington, batman, beetlejuice, and edward scissorhands (i was a special child  )

even as i got older and had my last "serious" bf (that maybe some of you remember from when i first joined and then kicked that bitch to the curb) he talked about getting married and i was like..mmm no, maybe we could have a kid or something but i dont think we'll get married (although sometimes to make him shut up i'd be like yea sure!)

but now i've been with my "hubz" for 4 years and we live like most married people do and we're happy, the main reason we're actually thinking of getting married is because we want to have a party thing and invite all our friends/family, it's not because we care about any of the legal bullshit or anything...and to me that's why it's important for us.

One of my big bosses jokes that she and her partner will never get married because she's always working, and they'd only be able to get married on Christmas or New Years, which are the worst times to get married.

I agree with her on those being the worst days.

I want to get married on a Friday, then that leaves the weekend for all the post-wedding parties/BBQ's

i have no idea how to dress at my marriage. i'm really torn between the femme / butch issue... and gf won't tell me how she'll dress because it's bad luck

i think that two manly looks would rock. or like, manly with a feminine twist. or maybe dresses, but not traditional wedding dresses because honestly i think they look horrible (or well, totally not my tipe)....maybe something a bit retro, a bit of lace, straight dress, sleeves, and uhmmm a cream/beije colour...not WHITE WHITE.

it's okay, you can plan outfits together.  the bad luck only comes from seeing the ensemble of your beloved, not knowing the theme.

Depends...  Do want a dress like that because the lovely Miss Pond wore it to marry
what's-his-name?
Or do you want it because it's an attractive modern-yet-tasteful wedding dress?
You can choose both, by the way...

...and what's-his-name's outfit is similarly tasteful; I wouldn't reccommend it as a top
criterion for choosing a husband, but I wouldn't expect you'd have too much trouble
convincing That One Man that he should wear something of the sort.

[buttercup.]

I can now dream about my future wedding because I have a cute boyfriend. I had a little wedding binge after my last relationship, but then it became a depressing subject to ignore.

He already loves the spot I've been dreaming of being wed on since I was 12. He also loves fire poi, and blue grass. I foresee a beautiful union filled with "Whatever she wants".  

He also doesn't want to legally hitch until it's smart to do so. Which jives pretty well with my "I don't wanna sign no stinkin' paper to prove I'm in love".

Genius! I'm going to get married in the spring - possibly May 1st, there's something nice and vaguely pagan about it xD I want a pretty rustic, country-ish affair, but not without touches of glamour. I'd like the reception in a big marquee in a field somewhere gorgeous and miles from anything, with a wooden floor and a live folk band as well as some normal music to take over when people are a bit drunk and just want a boogie. I think I'd like a buffet, or a BBQ, or a combination of the two. And I want luxury portaloos. There'll be bird and flower decorations, all very spring-ish and a little bit girly, and I'd like my dress to be sort of reminiscent of the sky when it's raining - sort of purpley-blue with grey shot through it and sparkly bits. *sigh*

[Indja]

http://www.livescience.com/25198-who-should-propose-marriage.html

I only sort of skim-read the article, but I found it really interesting. (I just have a very 21st-century attention span... ) I liked what they said about benevolent sexism being as bad as 'normal' sexism, and re. changing names - if I ever get married, which isn't likely, but there's no way in hell I'm changing my last name. I'd also really want any children I have (not sure how it works if you adopt, do they change their last name?) to have my surname rather than the other parent's. Maybe I'd settle for a double-barrel, but I'm not sure.

[Marionette26]

"Those who desired to keep their names often saw the decision as a way to keep their identity."

Exactly. I'm not changing into something else, even if it's just changing my name into something else. My older sister is going through this currently, and she is far less passionate and stubborn than I. So, she's probably going to lose our name when she gets married (which will be relatively soon, although he hasn't quite proposed yet - and she won't propose), even though it feels wrong to her.
That article made me kind of sad.

[Indja]

^It's definitely a part of your identity, or that's how I see it anyway. I know that the idea is that you're making a new family, but if that's the case then you both should get to pick a whole new last name instead of one being subsumed by the other. I'd go for Bearington, myself xD My sisters - technically my step-sisters, so a different last name than me but still - will both probably change their name if they get married, just because it's the norm.

Actually, that's what annoys me most about it - the fact that people do it just because it's 'tradition' without really thinking about it. Like if it was a truly free choice then work away, but it's so heavily weighted in favour of the man that it's just outrageous. Same with kids' last names - I'd like them to have my last name as much because I disagree with them automatically getting their father's as much as because they're my kids and I want them to have my family's name.

[Marionette26]

I'm not planning on having children, so I've never given a whole lot of thought into what should happen with their last names.

But I've had my last name all my life, and I'm not going to give it up. I like how you say being subsumed by the other. I feel like taking your husband's last name implies a subservience, although it's completely accidental. It's saying "I'm giving up myself, I'm changing myself, for this marriage - for him. I'm becoming this, and giving up who I was." And I'm not blaming whoever the husband is, I'm blaming the 'tradition' of marriage.
The whole tradition thing is ridiculous. If that is the only reason that someone can give for something, then they need to be questioning it and looking at it on a deeper level. Because tradition doesn't make something right for the individual. And if they can question it and still find that it suits them, that's great. But they should be thinking, not just being mindless robots.

And I like the idea of picking a whole new name. That would make it so that you really are starting a new family, you're not simply being engulfed within his own persona. Although I think you might be hard pressed to find someone who wants to be called Bearington for the rest of their life, no matter how epic it sounds..

[Indja]

^If they can't handle my bear-love, we're clearly not meant to be together.

I'm not going to get married - I'd like a wedding, but not the marriage, you know? Like I want a party and all our friends and family can come and tell us how much they love us and I'll have a pretty frock and all that, but not the actual signing of papers. And I don't want biological children, so I don't know how it works with adopting. But I still think about these things, because these things interest me.

I think remembering that, historically, marriage wasn't much more than a kind of slavery makes the whole thing clearer. Women took their husbands' last names because it was a sign that they now belonged to that man, as an asset and a piece of property. It's got no place in a modern marriage founded on love and trust and respect.

Totally with you on the idea that if they think it over and it still suits them then go for it, but not enough people think it over. It's just a given, and that's not healthy.

Also, I would be stoked if I got to propose to someone. I'd be stoked to be proposed to as well, as long as it was "Will you do me the honour of not marrying me, but we'll have a party and you'll get a pretty frock and we'll dance to Elbow and have luxury portaloos etc". Because if someone tried to really propose to me then clearly they have not been listening to me xD

[RoRi23]

When my wife and I got married (15 years ago) we decided that we'd like to have one common last name. There was however no compelling argument for either name and we decided to flip a coin.
Which is how I ended up with a new last name...

As far as marriage is concerned: to me it is a sign of commitment, of a certain degree of happily unrealistic optimism and of course a contract that makes it more difficult for one of the parties involved to screw the other side over if things don't work out.

If you go for long term commitment it is a rather sensible safety net (in addition to the emotional side of it and of course the tax advantages it entails here in Germany).

[Captain Oblivious]

I think it's really sweet that you were willing to take her last name.

I don't think I would change my last name. I've always wanted to be Dr. Farrell and I will be Dr. Farrell and not anything else. I'm not sure how I feel about the children's names. I will be giving birth to them so why should they not have my name? Although I am fully aware it's a two-person process

I'm like Indie, I want the party but the marriage bit doesn't really appeal to me. The main reason I would get married is for things like if one of us got sick, non-family members would not be allowed and even if we'd been in a relationship for 50 years, they're not family. Which is fucking ridiculous but that's the way it is. Also, the tax breaks

[N.U.]

If I came up with a mashup last name for a prospective mate, that might be acceptable as both of us would have to change our name.

[Faloleen]

I changed my last name to have the same as my husband but the only reason was that my previous last name was really horrible and complicated and everyone used to misspell it or pronounce it wrong. So having a simple czech one is a big relief. But I agree that your last name is a part of who you are.

[Miranda.]

I keep meaning to respond to this thread but ... I don't really know the words to use to explain what I mean to say.


I loved my surname but I always knew that I would change my name when I got married. I will always be a part of the family I was born into no matter what my name is.

My husband's family is as much my family as my family is if that makes sense?  His family has been a part of my life since I was 14 yrs old. I moved into his parent's house when I was 15-16. I met his family at his brother's 2nd b-day party; his sister was 9mths old. They aren't my in-laws he is my little brother and she is my littlest sister. They introduce me to people as their big sister. His mom always says I am her good kid; her sweet daughter. They claim me as their own. I was proud to take their name. It was like becoming a more official part of the family maybe? A way to tell the world that I belong to their family (not like property but as a member).

Maybe my situation is a bit different than some but I don't think that taking on your spouses name is necessarily a bad thing or an antiquated idea. I think it is romantic. I also think that each person and couple has a right to decide what is best for them.

No it's not necessarily a bad thing for sure. But it should be optional and free from the laws and social oppressions. What you've told above is such a romantic story, i'm sure most women would like to have such good relationships with their in-laws.

Also Rori's is really sweet, if there's a way to make a decision on who takes whose last name, it should be like this.

And of course Faloleen has understanable reasons. And if i ever get married and if my future fiancé doesn't have a worse last name than mine, i may do so either.

I just hate that just because you're getting married, some people think you have to take your husband's last name. It should be all about voluntariness. I don't see anybody dying from keeping their last names.

[N.U.]

Every time a newly wed wife doesn't take her husband's last name, Baby Jesus cries.

[Marionette26]

Miranda - I feel like we're kind of bashing your side of things, when it's pretty normal.. and it sounds like you weren't just like "Ah, I gotta take his name, that's what you do". It sounds like you have reasons behind it, and they're really sweet reasons that make a lot of sense. If his family was that much of a family for you already, then it's completely logical to want his name.
It's not always a bad thing to take your spouses name.

But in some situations it really kind of sucks. My older sister doesn't want to give up her last name (especially since her boyfriend/soon to be fiance has a ridiculous last name), but he's far more stubborn than she is. She's undoubtedly going to end up railroaded into it, and I'm sure she'll get over it, I doubt it will be a huge trauma or anything. It's just terribly unfair - she shouldn't have to change in such a way unless she wants to.
Since it's the societal norm though, it's expected, so it's not just pressure from him. It's all this implied pressure from the rest of the world, and it's pressure from people she tries to talk to about it.

Taking your spouses name is really romantic and sweet in cases like yours, and cute and sweet in cases like Rori's. Buuut, a lot of the time it's done because it's expected, and that's it.



@Thread - I'm not sure I want to have a wedding. And I don't know that I care much about having a marriage, since if I end up with a woman I can't have one (yet). All I've ever thought about is being with someone I love, who loves me, for the rest of my life. Or so long as we love each other. I want someone to share my life with, who I know likes my idiosyncrasies and can deal with my issues. And I don't think I need a marriage to do that, although it makes the legal side of things a helluva lot easier.
I think a TINY ceremony would be nice, though. I'm a bit of a tyrant when it comes to organizing normal things, such as Christmas and birthdays, so I think I would go absolutely batshit insane organizing a wedding and no one would want to marry me or be around me. And mostly, I just want a really really awesome wedding dress that I can sit around having tea parties in afterwards.

I do that with my prom dress whenever I'm home, which obviously isn't the same thing but still

I've been watching a lot of Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and obviously they show a lot of weddings but it's making me want a wedding dress so bad (even if I want it to be nothing like theirs).
