Future Planning

Let me start this by saying one thing:

I love my boyfriend with all of my heart.  We work great together, we love each other, we respect each other, and rarely have any REAL problems to speak of.  So whatever I may say in this has been my matter of opinion most of my life but it doesn't mean I can't change that eventually.

Anyway.  So, I subscribed to a new blog today and her latest post is about her dream wedding.  I used to want to get married when I was with my ex.  I actually had it all planned, because he did propose to me.  I wanted to have a very standard wedding.  In a church, pink and yellow roses, white dress, black tux, close friends and family, end of story.  After that didn't work out I turned my back on marriage altogether and decided I will never marry.  It still holds true right now.  Maybe eventually I will change my mind.  However, my belief is why ruin something that is so great by signing a piece of paper that only matters legally but not emotionally?

Now that I've stated all that, I will admit this: I love wedding planning in itself.  One of my favorite shows is on WEtv and it's called Amazing Wedding cakes.  I could watch it all day long.  Some of the cakes are so fabulous.  I've decided on two different themes I would go with if I ever got married and I really don't even desire the marriage itself, just the showcase!  I don't really like looking at dresses, though.  I'm not much of a dress girl.  I don't even wear skirts anymore.  The cake, the colors, the flowers, the setting, and the food though- I'm ready to start planning.

There are two themes I would go with: a beach theme (most likely), or black and red.  I'm pretty outgoing and love crazy ideas so they might be off the wall, but this day is supposed to be all about ME, right?  :)

RED and BLACK

The red and black theme is really something I would only go with if I could afford all of the trimmings.  It would be elegant and formal, and a winter wedding.  Which just isn't in the books because I hate winter, and I would be getting married in Michigan, which means a lot of snow and too much trouble.  Therefore, it really is just an idea of something that would be nice.  

BEACH theme

This is probably what I would really choose, because I love the beach and it would be simple and classy.  Everyone could wear their nicest beach wear and it would be great.  I can just see guys in some black and white shorts and a black jacket!  I would wear a simple, short white dress. 

The only reason I feel the need to get married now is just to plan and buy all the neat stuff!  :)  Maybe I should become a wedding planner...I would probably be good at it. 

For all you girls out there that aren't married yet, what would your dream wedding be like?
