Since I had nothing better to do at home due to a cancelled gimik with my girl, I decided to watch “License to Wed” (starring Robin Williams and Mandy Moore) in dvd. It’s the usual light-comedy flick where, despite the conflicts and some slight drama on the side, the love story ends with a happy wedding at a very sunny Jamaican beach and a catchy song plays until the ending credits roll, blah blah blah… the end. Oh, which reminds me… it’s June – the so-called wedding month.
I have seen countless movies about weddings, and I’ve also attended quite a number of weddings of friends and family over the past years. And while I’m single right now, the thought of having my own dream wedding someday is just normal for any woman of my age. And since I’m not in the mood for some mushy blah-blahs for the month of weddings, I’m just gonna talk about how I would wish my dream wedding would be like because at this point in every year, talking about weddings just seem so right. Sigh.
First things first: the motif. The colour will be a combination of deep purple and silver, but the deep purple thing will have to stand out. (No, contrary to what others would assume, it’s never gonna be PINK, as much as I love the color!) My bridesmaids and other female entourage would be wearing gowns in deep purple and it will be up to the couture to add accents of silver to the gown. (You know, like silver beads or shining shimmering whatevers.) They will all be wearing silver closed shoes with their hair all tied up in stylish buns (or whatever hairstyle as long as it’s pulled up) because they will be provided Swarovski hair ornaments to accentuate the hairstyles. The male entourage will all be in Chinese collar barong tagalong in Piña or Jusi fabric. Call it an O.C. thing, but I want my entourage to look good, elegant, and orderly during the photo ops. As for my gown, I would be wearing an Inno Sotto or Cesar Gaupo creation (You know what they say, ‘Dream big!’ Hahaha!) that’s got some oriental influence into the design but would have to use the best Filipino fabric available. Same goes for the groom (Whoever that may be! Hahaha!). For the flowers, my bouquet would be a combination of pink and lilac tulips.
Since I hail from a family of old-fashioned Roman Catholics, family and relatives won’t settle for anything less than a church wedding. I want a late afternoon wedding within the metro. Inasmuch as I would love an out-of-town wedding, I wouldn’t want my guests and entourage to worry too much and get harassed because of directions, time, and most of all – gas. Then there’s the venue for the reception. And no, it’s never gonna be an outdoor reception as precaution in case it pours. It would be good if it’s in Blue Leaf Pavilion, where almost all of the guests would be families, closest friends and relatives, and a select few from work. I don’t want a big wedding, but I would want the people dearest to me to come and share that very special moment with us. As for the food, there’s gotta be a touch of Kapampangan taste since I practically grew up on Kapampangan food. It would probably be a fusion of Kapampangan and Asian food, with a separate table for desserts (Don’t forget the chocolate fondue fountain! Yummy!!!).
Sigh.
Ok, for those who raised their eyebrows from what they’ve just read, don’t blame a girl for having a dream wedding of her own. It’s as normal as the testosterone rush guys have whenever they see a hot chick passing by. But seriously, it’s just a vision that I’ve always kept with me. Whether its’s gonna be realized is something which nobody can say right now, until the time when my Knight-In-Shining-Whatever a.k.a. my very own version of McDreamy puts that shiny shiny stone on my finger as he pops the elusive question. Yup, it’s just my so-called dream… but a cherished one. ^_^

You're right... License to Wed did suck. As for your plans, who knows that you might find Mr. Right who agrees with you. Just with the purple, make sure your wedding party doesn't look too much like Barney :)
Hahaha... I trust my taste pretty much so I doubt if it will be anything that's Barney-ish at all... as for Mr. Right, I'm sure we'll come up with a compromise to meet halfway. :)
