So I'm sitting at Justin's on a Friday night, slightly bored, surfing Facebook, and watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Bejing Olympics. Which are very, very cool. And it's only been on for 20 minutes. And I'm very curious about how much the ceremony costs. However, I don't think it would matter, because this is soooo cool! Anyways, I've already distracted myself. Must continue.
The reason for this post is the aforementioned Facebook surfing. I've been amusing myself with pictures taken at other people's weddings throughout the 'season'. And I'm running into the same problem with each new set of pictures of someone's wedding that I don't know. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! Every single one of these weddings is a cookie cutter. Each bride has a big, poofy, floor length gown. It's blinding white, no matter the skin color of the bride. Most end up looking washed out, unfortuntaly. Every bride has an extensive up-do, with a long veil, and more than likely have sparkly crystals all in the hair. The make up makes the bride not even look human, more like an alien, coupled with the severe up-do, most look like they're trying to get the same effect as a face lift. All the nails are done--French manicure, only. The shoes are always white. As for the bridesmaid's, they all look the same as well. Same dresses, usually same color, always pastel, never jewel tone or black. Shoes are always the same color as the dress. Perfect little flower boquets--never anything unusual, like buttons, or paper, or feathers. They are also all up-doed and manicured. Mostly always tan. The groom and the groomsmen look like an afterthought. Like the bride was so concerned about herself and her girls that a week before the wedding she goes "Oh, shit! They have to wear something!" So of course, they get the basic rental tux. And look all the same. The reception is no better. The cakes are all three tier, white, with a little bride and groom on the top. The happy couple cut the cake to the smiles of the family and playfully shove it in each other's faces.
Someone gag me now, but perhaps you might have to wake me up first because, damn it, I've fallen asleep. These weddings are so freaking boring!!! (Unlike these ceremonies, if you're not watching you better YouTube it tomorrow, it's fascinating!)
Continuing, I want a wedding that is representative of me and Justin. We're not cookie cutter. We don't have the little wedding website with 'our story'. (If you know the 'story' of how we met, you know why it is ridiculous for us to have one anyway) Instead, we have a little blog which consists of myself ranting about the wedding industry. We are not normal. Nor do we want to be. Why then, would we have a 'normal' wedding? The fact that there is an image of a 'normal' wedding makes me want to kill something anyways. In our wedding, there will be no wedding march and boring music. Damn it, I will skip down the aisle if I want to!
Ok, I think I'm done ranting because these ceremonies are just too cool to be doing other things while watching. I may finish this post later. Until then, peace.
