Day Seven: Your Dream Wedding

What an ironic topic for the weekend of "The Royal Wedding".  I did not wake up at 4am to watch Prince William and Kate marry, but I did look at all kinds of pictures on Friday at work and also watched parts of the wedding over the weekend.  I'll have to say Kate Middleton was absolutely breath taking and her beauty and elegance was shown as a true Princess.  The love you can feel between those two is an absolute dream come true.  My "Dream Wedding" encompasses nothing from the "Royal Wedding" other than the tremendous amount of love that you could see through their vows and just simply the way they looked at each other.  But this blog is supposed to be about "My Dream Wedding" anyway.  Some say a girl dreams about her wedding her whole life, and I may have but I don't really feel like that was anything I've been planning since grade school.  I do know that I always thought I would be married by 25 years old and if that dream had come true, I'd probably be sorely disappointed.  At 25 life was so much different than it is now just three years later.  When I was 25 years old I had just graduated college and I was still trying to figure out who I even was.  I am still trying to figure out who I am and also what I am going to do with my life, but I also have come to accept who I am right now and what I am doing right now.  I am happy with myself and thankful and pleased with how my life is turing out.  I also have an amazing man in my life, who respects me and loves me with all of his heart.  I do not question Pete's love for me at anytime, I know that he will always be there for me and that I am a top priority in his life.  I am knocking on 30's door though and with that brings many dreams of my wedding I hope to have sometime in the not so far future.  I don't want to give away too many details because I hope to make this dream a reality.  My dream is to get married on the water, whether it be the bay or the beach.  It will be a casual affair (no suits needed) with a very relaxed atmosphere.  It will include dancing the night away with my closest friends and relatives with my only request is that people walk away saying "Wow, that was a really fun wedding!".  I in no way dream of anything traditional, other than the fact that I will wear a wedding dress obviously but otherwise, I'd like it to be one big celebration of fun and laughter.  I've always said my one request for my wedding day is that my hair is PERFECT!  I will do anything to have perfect hair on my wedding day and as long as I have that, I assume everything else will be perfect as well.  I could go on and on about the small details...colors, bridesmaids dresses, centerpieces, etc but I'll save those small details for the blog I start once I'm finally engaged.  I don't feel like the details make the wedding though, the couple makes the wedding and I feel like I've met my dream.
