weddings...

i was layin around the house last saturday..doing absolutely nothing except munching on whatever was in the fridge and taking naps on the couch...in between all this activity i was watching one of my fav channels Oxygen....i enjoy the Living Single and A different World reruns and sometimes they have some other shows and movies that i get into...for some reason they always play this one movie with selma haiak (sp?) and the guy from Oz who was in the wheelchair...cept for in this movie he is selma's gay drag queen friend...its a cute movie though all about cooking and love....

anyway this month they are doing this thing every saturday called "2 weddings and a movie marathon" where they show a couple episodes of this reality series called "weddings from the knot" and a movie marathon with a love and/or wedding theme...although they have showed "hope floas" at least twice and although it is about love it is centered around a woman who finds out her husband is having an affair with her best friend...doesnt really make me think of love in a good way...but i guess they have to mix it up a bit...

okay so i was watching "weddings from the knot" and i saw this woman going through her whole wedding process from engagement party, to wedding dress to caterer, etc....i mean she was planning her dream wedding...and i started thinking about my dream wedding...and realized i didnt have a clue on what i wanted my dream wedding to be like...
ive heard before that women start planning their dream wedding waaaay early like in junior high...the whole "prince charming sweep you off your feet, carry you to the palace and live happily ever after" kinda dream that somehow through the Disney chanel becomes instilled in the minds of little girls early...and i admit i still own beauty and the beast and alladin...i left cinderella and snow white with my parents....

i remember sitting on the porch of a childood friends house when i was 13 or 14 and there on the porch during the summer over popcicles and pizza we would dream about marriage...for some reason we were obsessed over the colors that would make up the wedding....and for some reason i wanted white, black, teal/turqouise, gold and cream...DA HELL was i thinking?? yeah so what i DO know about my "dream wedding" is that all that tackiness will not be allowed...

so i began really thinking what do i want...well i still dont know and im not trying to figure it out....i do know i want a princess cut ring and a nice white (HA! those friends of mine reading this SHAADDUP!!) dress, not big and puffy but nice and silky all the way down with a tad of a train....i dont know anything else, i have no colors planned, i dont know the location, i dont know the bridesmaids, shoot i dont even know the groom...and whats a wedding without someone to get hitched too? well i guess its a big ass party with me in a white dress...
so one day i will have a dream ,and one day i guess i will have a dream wedding...but until then i think ill just watch some more Oxygen and look at the lovely ladies ready to take that step....
