"Oh they say when you marry in June.. You're a Bride... All your life."
I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to be married in June. (I got lucky--George and I started dating in June!) After my first time seeing 7 Brides for 7 Brothers and hearing the song, "June Bride" I just felt like the saying was true: If you're married in June, you'll be a bride all your life. Now how true is that? Who knows. Probably not likely. But I fell in love with that song. When you're a little girl, songs and movies, and other things impact on how you start seeing your wedding day. I've always loved Calla Lillies.. I think they are classic and beautiful. I don't care if they mean "death". They're very popular in weddings. When you're a little girl, you envision your wedding day. You think about that day even before you think about falling in love. The husband is just a sidebar. And I don't care if my wedding seems trashy because I have a keg (Okay, EVERY wedding that serves alcohol now DOESN'T have one?) or that calla lillies mean death or that my wedding is on a Friday night. The most important thing is that I feel that my wedding day turns out like how I've dreamed it would since I was little. And so that might mean it's on June 8th and there will be calla lillies and *gasp* a few kegs of beer. It's what I (we) want and that's how it will be.
I had a rough conversation with someone that sort of brought up these issues. It's bothered me for a few days, but I'm quickly getting over that. I'm going to have a beauitiful wedding and anyone who truly cares about me will be there. And will keep their mouth shut on issues like this. If I was making some horrible mistake, maybe my Bridesmaid dresses were puke green or I was getting married on a Monday at 4pm, then okay, tell me. But so far, I don't feel like anything I've done, or anything I have centered around my wedding has been like that. Granted, I'm super emotional right now. I never realized how emotional I'd be when it was starting to get this close. The tiniest thing said could send me into a sobbing state. And I don't even know why, I don't have an excuse except to say that, until you plan your wedding, on a VERY tight budget (That seems to be ever sinking..) pretty much by yourself.. You'll never understand.
So Here's To Being, A June Bride.
Having Calla Lillies.
Alcohol. (Goodness knows I'll need it!)
And letting all that drama go in one ear and out the other.
PS-- The Glade candle scent, "Angel Whispers" is AMAZING.
