What have I been doing today? Well, I have been watching wedding shows on TLC. I think I must be a weird girl, because I definitely do not have my wedding planned out. In fact, sometimes I think I would like to elope. The idea of dealing with family drama, just does not sound fun to me. I want to do a destination wedding. We could tell people ahead of time (family members and close friends) so they could come if they wanted to. HOWEVER, I still want to wear the pretty dress. I never went to prom, or any such occasion that would have required me to dress up, and I just would really like to feel like a princess for a day. Believe it or not, the dresses I like, look like Cinderella dresses. I don’t want a lot of lace or beading, but I do want a big skirt. I also want a strapless dress, with a corset top, preferably. Those seem to be the most flattering. Yes, I actually went online and googled “wedding dresses”. That is not something I would normally do, but after an entire afternoon/evening watching “Say Yes to the Dress”, I figured what the heck.
Of course after I left the David’s Bridal page, I had to go over to the Tiffany’s website. Oh my goodness. Gorgeous rings. EXPENSIVE rings. I like simple rings….nothing extravagent….just a solitaire…preferably princess cut (to go with the princess dress, obviously. Lol.). I don’t like yellow gold so it would have to be platinum or white gold. And I wouldn’t want anything over a carat….it just wouldn’t be me. Said ring does not have to come from Tiffany’s either….all I prefer is that it doesn’t come from Walmart. TIffany’s has an excellent website that does a really good job of showing different styles. I’m sure you can find rings just like them somewhere else for much cheaper. Hey, I’m 26 years old, I can dream–don’t judge me.
A lot of my friends are married. In fact, I would say that I am one of the few that aren’t married yet out of my circle of friends. Most of my friends even have kids now. I was a bridesmaid a couple years ago in one of my best friend’s weddings….yeah, she now has a baby. I’m happy for my friends, but I can’t help but wonder if it will EVER be my turn. It sounds weird, but I kind of don’t even think about it….I kind of just assume (subconsciously) that it’s never going to happen for me. I want the house and kids, but I’m not counting on it. It’s a little bit hard sometimes…..if I could pick one thing to be it would to be a wife and mother. I think I would ROCK at it. I’m very nurturing by nature….and I’m really good at taking care of people. I am perfectly content taking care of kids, cleaning house, doing laundry, going grocery shopping, and especially decorating and organizing. Yes folks, I will be a great wife. And I’m not saying I don’t want to have a job of my own….I do….at least until (or if) I have kids.
I certainly did not intend to write a post like this today. I’m not even saying I necessarily want to get married at this precise moment in my life. I’m content with how things are going. It’s just fun to think about sometimes. I still think I want to elope….as long as I can wear a pretty dress of course!
