Pre-Pre Wedding Planning
Mar. 6th, 2013 02:53 amMy boyfriend and I aren't "officially" engaged but, since at least our third month together, we've talked about little wedding details here and there, like what kind of songs we'd want played at the reception (we do it for baby names, too.) The other day we were at Lowe's and I was extremely bored. They started playing Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are." I started thinking about how people sometimes don't use the traditional wedding match to walk down the aisle. I asked Mike about his sister's wedding, because I remember he said she had a Star Wars-themed wedding, and he said she waled down the aisle to some Star Wars instrumental. Kind of as a goof, I said that maybe I should walk down the aisle to "Just the Way You Are." He said no. He didn't think it really felt like the right tempo song to walk down the aisle to.
That kind of started us spending the day talking about wedding details throughout the day. I asked him if he would help me plan the wedding. For some reason he made me laugh by saying, "I'll voice my opinion." I asked him about picking out his tux and it really wasn't a big deal to him. He said all tuxes look the same to him. He said he would help me with things like cups and plates. Now stuff like that is minimally important to me, but not a big deal, but the clothes are. So, later I said maybe he should be in charge of the cups and plates. Again he made me laugh when he said no. He said he's willing to help, but he doesn't want to be in charge of anything solely.
Later, we went to Wal-Mart and while waiting for a co-worker of his I decided to flip through some wedding magazines. I decided to show Michael the dresses I liked. It turns out he definitely was not kidding about voicing his opinion. I thought he might just shrug his shoulders and not say much or say something like whatever I liked was fine, but he vetoed the first dress because he thought the dress was too long. With the second one, he said I could do better. For the next one he said it was too complicated. He liked the next few, but there was one he said he liked, but the side train was too long. He is not a fan of really long dresses. He sees no point in having part of your dress sweeping the ground, which I kind of get, but that's the whole point of the train. After he said another dress was too complicated, I picked something I liked that was fairly simple. He said that was too plain. I laughed and pointed out that he didn't like some of the more intricate dresses I was picking out. He's basically like Goldilocks. He doesn't want one too frilly, not one that's too simple either.
