I like it fancy.

Ah, Tis' the season of weddings again. Whenever there are school holidays...sheesh.

I've always loved the idea of weddings. The flowers, the fancy schmancy cake with a bouquet of sugar flowers on it, the pretty dresses, the best man and bridesmate speech, the tears of joy, the photographer capturing the moment that should last a life time.

Sigh. Lovely, lovely.

But i hate weddings that are so disorganized. Based on experience, weddings can be a real pain in the you-know-where. Urgh. Its actually so stressful that sometimes you just don't care if the flowers are not arranged perfectly, or the door gifts are wrapped neatly, as long as you get it done. I know that's not nice at all, but...Weddings should be for everyone to enjoy...not just the guests.

I don't believe in weddings that are made super duperly grand just to impress others, and in the end just end up making their family members do all the dirty work. Like, "could you please wrap the sliced cakes in aluminium foil like this? then, this.....then that...Oh, and please don't crumple it bla bla bla bla bla bla," I think theres a fine line between asking for help, and being bossy. Jeez. You want it that way, you do it yourself, then. That's when i'll say "Aren't these things suppossed to be done by today anyway? What is it still doing in the box?!"

*Inhales deeply*

Anyway.

The other beautiful thing about weddings is that the house, or the hall, or where ever that the wedding is at will always smell SO good. Like, for Malay weddings, there's usually these things called the "Bunga Rampai". OH. Smells so gooooooooddddd. They're made of finely sliced Pandan leaves, tossed with rose water, i think. And flower petals are also thrown into the mix. Beautiful, beautiful smell.

But wait a minute. Sometimes they use that for funerals too. OH man. hahahha Now i remember...They used the same thing to sprinkle on the tombs of the dead. But i don't know if they call it bunga rampai too.

I think photographers play a MUY importante role during weddings, man. I'd pay big money for a really good photographer. You know, those with good black and white photos...Pictures which will remind you and your spouse of the little details of the wedding. Sigh. Like this dude's work, check it out...

I plan to have a small but a really stylish and elegant wedding. Close family members, and a few of my closest friends. Hmm. I need to make a really good list of who can come to my oh-so-beautiful wedding. hahaha.

Today i may decide on an elegant wedding...Tomorrow i might change to a beach wedding, the next day i might change to a wedding with elephants or something. Hahaha. I'm pretty indecisive. I guess we shall wait and see what i'll settle with. Which i don't think will happen anytime soon. Hohoho.

Be sure to check out the website i linked, coz they're really purdy.

Cheers!
