Marriage

The dream wedding. That is my center of focus today. I can’t pretend that I haven’t thought and planned that day millions of times, even though there is no way to be assured that it will come. It is just one of those things that seem so natural, so uniform that there is no way that I can imagine life without marriage. I mean, life without someone to call my own seems extremely lonely. Friends are fantastic and necessary, but they aren’t going to be the ones holding you every night and being there 24/7 for you. Friends won’t be the ones to have children with you or set long term goals with you. Life without that long term partner that will always be there seems impossible. And sad. Which is why people daydream of that day, the wedding day, that will assure them life will be alright from then on.

My dream wedding is big and bright and traditional. Think about the stereotypical wedding and you see my dreams of grandeur. The big white dress with lace and frills that takes a bridesmaid to help you pee in is what I really want. The church with an aisle that seems entirely too long and a piano player that seems older than the church is what I really want. The big reception at a party hotel with big rowdy drunk friends and a DJ with all my favorite songs is what I really want. Of course, no need to talk about budget, as it is unlimited in the dream world.

Purple is the wedding color, a light lavender and dark violet. Not only is this a symbolism thing, it also is just good color taste. The food will be delicious, with yummy dinner rolls and sweet butter for it. Since the bride is always busy, constantly trying to please everyone by putting in the appropriate amount of small talk time to every guest, bread and butter will probably be the only form of sustenance I get until the honeymoon (which will be the standard week long retreat; no skimping out where it counts).  Just daydreaming about this makes me feel like I’m ready to run off and get hitched.

Of course, that would never happen to me at this point in time, since I am so young and have a lot more decisions to make before I get to that point in time. But, until then, I will continue to ogle at cute wedding dresses and plans, because let’s be honest, everyone wants to get married. Even if they are too jaded to realize it yet.
