So it begins. Many of you may know that Ice and i are getting married next year. June 23, 2007 is the date W/we have chosen. i'm so scared it's not funny. Yes, i know its something every little girl dreams about, and i did. From the time i was 16 i started wondering what my wedding would be like. Not the man standing at my side. Just the wedding. Funny how one changes from childish dreams to gownup reality. The Man is perfect. Ok so maybe not perfect, but He's perfect for me and thats all that matters. Who wants perfect anyways? Lord knows i'm not lol.
As a child i had always dreamed about the big wedding. 200 guests, Cinderella dress, flowers everywhere, but that isnt what it will be. Dreams change and grow. W/we've chosen small, simple and elegant. He wants to be married by the water, so i'm hunting up parks and the like. At first He wanted the beach not far from here. Unfortunately, i and my attendants would have a bitch of a time moving on sand in gowns and heels. So a pond, river or creek will do just nicely. Its only going to be about 50-75 people invited. Although i am a little worried if my family will attend or not. i hope they do as regardless of their feelings for my future Husband. He is my choice and it is my wedding day. They are my family and i hope love and blood wins out.
i just pray we can keep my mother and Ice away from eachother that day. Oy!
my gown is something completely different from anything i had ever imagined. Gone is the Cinderella princess dress. In it's place is a simply stunning strapless A-line gown. Just a few beads and crystals at the waist and a simple train. i was dead set against a strapless dress. But my Maid of Honor was determine i try one on anyways. Lord love her she was right. i fell in love with it the second i put it on. The back is a corset, which her eyes lite up at the idea of lacing me into the damn thing. Oy! The gown is a size 8, but after i was laced in i swear it was a 5. i could barely breath. C thought that was hilarious. Rotten bitch, LOL.
As for my colours, i've decided on black and white with hints of deep red. Ice and the guys are all wearing mostly red kilts, so that ties the red in. And the girls will be in simple, stark black.
Roses and orcids are the theme for flowers. i adore roses, even though Ice hates them. But His favorite are orcids. So my bouquet will be blood red roses and snow white orcids. Just imagine. The scent of roses and orcids floating on the breeze by the water. OMG i get chills just thinking about it.
You know it wasnt even my idea to have a wedding at all. It was Ice who said He wanted a small wedding. i was perfectly happy going to the courthouse and a nice dinner after. All i want is to be married to Him. But i'm glad W/we're doing it this way. To share this day with those W/we love.
Now i just have to work on figuring out how to pay for it all. LOL That comes one step at a time i think. At least i have an idea of what i want and where to start. i've been planning for this since i was 16, some things may have changed. But the goal is still the same. To marry the Man i love, the One who has stood by me through thick and thin. Who has taught me to be a stronger person then i was before Him. The One who showed me i can have whatever i want and not have to put up with anyone's shit. Even His.
