ASC Pt. III

It may not be in the cards for me any time soon, but I think about getting married a lot lately. It's not so much the actual idea of being married to someone and spending the rest of my life with this person, but more the ceremony itself. It just seems to come up with me a lot. Even the act of going shopping kind of conjures up thoughts of a wedding to me. I just bought shoes today and it made me think that I'd like to get married in these shoes. They're white phat pharm shoes with black trim.

I wonder if I'd ever meet a girl who would want the same things at a wedding that I want. Here are things I've always wanted at a wedding -

1) No suit or tux - I know, this is an odd thought, but I just hate formal clothes. The idea of buying something just so I can wear it once, it just seems really stupid to me. And no, it's not about me being cheap. It's just, I feel like you shouldn't make your wedding day special because of the amount of money you spend and the time you spend planning it, but the symoblism behind the action you take. I just don't like the idea of romanticizing things. I've always wanted to get married in a hoodie, but I've recently relented to the idea of getting married in a blazer with hood attached.

2) Cinnabons - I really hate when you go to a wedding and it's just filled with average food that's just dressed up kind of nice (again romanticisizing). I don't know about a main course of like pizza, wings, and maybe a giant sandwich, but I'm dead set on Cinnabons for the desert. And, let's face it, it may be kind of common, but the fact is, Cinnabons are expensive.

3) "I want you to want me" on Strings - I think a lot of people want a string quartet at their wedding, and I'm no different, but I'm just such a fan of music that I wouldn't want the same old shit to be played. Ya know, Here COmes the Bridge and Cannon in D... I'd want songs I love such "I want you to want me" by Cheap Trick, "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys, and anything off Weezer's Pinkerton (My favourite album of all time).

That's about it for now... To be honest, I've only been to one really nice wedding in my life. It was about three years ago, a friend of mine from work got married to a Portugese guy. It was nice. It was like a million dollar thing, but it was nicer than what I've gone through in my family. Only one of my close cousins has gotten married and they did it at the court house... and their one year anniversary party was supposed to be this big deal, but to be honest it wasn't very fancy. It was nice and all, but it wasn't a big deal, and her husband's family was in charge of everything so it was quite different from what I'm used to (they're Indian). I wanted the posh wedding like you'd see on TV.

Anyways... That's my take on weddings. I don't know if I'll ever meet the right girl or the girl that's good enough, but you can't say all guys are afraid of commitment...
