To those who may not know, I am actually engaged to be married to my beau, Josh. He proposed this past July 4 holiday while we were at the firework display. My future husband is a true romantic. He even asked my dad for my hand in marriage. We have set the date for Thursday, June 21, 2012.
Today I found myself googling wedding dresses. I want to wear a dress made by Vera Wang. I want one with a chapel train. I want a gown in white too. We are planning to have a justice of the peace marry us. We can not afford a wedding inside a church. Becides, I am a Wiccan and I do not want to be married in a church. I would rather have a handfasting. Josh is Christian, though. We both agreed to sign the marriage license and then have the justice of peace say a few words. Afterwards we are having a reception at a park in Everly.
No, I do not need a wedding dress for all of that. However, I do want one and I plan on wearing one. I think it is romantic. Yes, I am only being married once. Yes, I know a dress is expensive. However, it is a special day and I want to be all gussied up for it. I want my hair done with flowers in it and everything.
I really want to wear one designed by Vera Wang. She has gorgouse wedding dresses. Besides, I plan on having a wedding potrait taken. I want to look my best. However, I may have to go with a different designer because I will most likely by pregnant. I have to wear something to accomidate a growing figure.
I was looking at a few dresses through http://www.houseofbrides.com/. There are a few dresses that I liked. Just a few? More like a few too many. I am only getting married once! I can not have twenty seven dresses! There was one designer I liked. Her name is Christina Wu. She has pretty gowns. I might buy one of hers because she has bigger sizes.
Of course, some of Josh's side of the family have spoken out about us having children before we are married. They said, "I guess we are just old fashioned."
Well, it is the new millenium. And, by the way, people have been getting pregnant before marriage since sex or making love was first discovered. That is a long time. Marriage probably was not even invented. They need to get over it. It is our choise. We are married next year, anyway.
So far the wedding plans go like this: Josh and I will meet the justice of the peace with a few friends and family there. Around noon is when the big reception is. I have a few people who I will invite. Friends from college and old family friends are all coming. My mom, who now is seperated from my dad, lives in Des Moines. She has allready said she is coming. This March or April I am sending invitations out to everybody I can think of. Josh will be inviting people on his end of the family. I wonder who is going to show up? The old fashioned types should be relieved.
The reception will be at Sharnberg Park. We will have tons of food. It pretty much is going to be a relaxed cook out. I am going to have a wedding cake. I prefer that it is a vegan wedding cake. There will be no DJ. Just friends and family. We will have a radio or CD player to play music. I will have to make sure there are vegan items for me. Such as soydogs and bean burgers. Nobody else in vegan in my family. Most of my friends eat meat too. I am the only one. Hopefully, I am the first. May be when everybody had the cake they will all be hooked.
