When your girlfriend comes over with 25lbs of white satin in the form of a beautiful wedding gown... well... it gets you thinking about your own special day. Or at least it does in my case. Hypothetically... I will get married one day(ok... I've dreamt of it like all little girls... prince charming, big ring, happy ever after, etc, etc, etc). I kinda forgot about this female fantasy until tonight.I dream of a simple, beautiful and quirky wedding. I want a religious ceremony surrounded by nature. SMALL. Close family and friends. Something read from Corinthians 13 (however I really love Song of Solomon 2:16).
My reception will be an explosion of wackiness, color, and an experience for all your senses. I've always had this idea for a masquerade theme. I love living out the fantasy of different characters. So why not do it to celebrate my marriage! I love how in Mimi Van Wyck's Charleston wedding (some photos posted above), she is dressed as a princess and her groom, a prince. For my nuptials, I want masks and accessories for all guest.
This madness will take place outside among the stars. Lanterns will light our way. Finger foods and a champagne toast will be served on my own collection of unique dishes and glassware. Entertainment will be in the form of games and elaborate karaoke skits. Tree's will be dressed with bright fabrics. Moroccan tents will draw in guest to chat for hours. I want to bring the indoors, outside. Basically, if you mix the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, A Midsummer Nights Dreams and Arabian Nights.. your starting to get the idea.
Well, it was fun dreaming for a moment. . .
