So I decided there is no need for the big fairy tale shabang?

Whadddupppp!

I'm always full of thoughts, that's nothing new. But lately I'm been really thinking about weddings. If you knew me, you would know that I LOVE WEDDINGS. The Wedding Planner, Bride Wars, 27 Dresses, all have earned a spot on my list of favorites. I love attending weddings. I love watching wedding videos. I love perusing wedding dresses, flowers, rings, and decorations on Pinterest. My parents joke that I'm going to be a bridezilla. But lately, my feelings have been changing about them. By no means am I saying that I don't like them anymore, OHHH HECKK NO. I've just finally began to realize what is really important. It's not about how pretty your flowers are or what color seat covers you have. It's not about whether everyone likes the venue or whether the food is tasty enough to satisfy your guests. It's about love and celebrating the fact that you just dedicated your life to another human. Helllooooo, that's a big deal. While I believe that I have always known this, I have held very high expectations for that special day. I believe that I could have the fairy tale wedding that I envision, someday. Someday meaning when I'm like 30 because all that "stuff" is really expensive. Is it worth the wait? In my opinion, definitely not. When I get married, whenever that is, I want the day to be special. I also want it to be simple. I want it to be a day for US, done OUR way, not the fancy fairy tale way because after the day is over, what are you going to remember? I don't want to remember how stressed out I was. I don't want to remember how mean I was to people because I was stressed out. I want to remember a beautiful, happy day. The day I told the entire world that I was going to love this man every single day for the rest of my life. So if we want to eat chicken strips and wear flip flops, so be it. 

End of rant. 

Love,
