Saw this mentioned in my friend's journal.

Mods, feel free to delete my post if you don't think it belongs, though it does involve the topic of wedding planning.

My friend (who has a young daughter) posted about a commercial she and her daughter recently saw on t.v. It was a commercial advertising this video game called "My Fantasy Wedding"

Okay, so there probably is no real harm in fantasizing about your future wedding. (I don't know about "all the time", but I doubt you meant that completely literally. Thinking about anything "all the time" might be a bit unhealthy. LOL!) But, for anyone who obsessed and fussed over her future wedding for years and years and since being a little girl, what happened when the day was finally over? Sure, ideally you end up happy just to be married to "the one" and that itself is wonderful. But then what? What does one then spend countless hours daydreaming about? Future houses? Future babies? Future weddings for those future babies? Future grandbabies? Future retirement homes? I'm honestly asking because I never was the type to obsess over my future wedding. Not like I never thought about it or daydreamed, but it wasn't a common daydream of mine. Or for that matter, what about the girls who obsess and daydream about the future weddings only to never really end up married for whatever reason?

I definitely daydreamed and fantasized about certain things in life and still do. However for me it was more about being a well known artist as opposed to having a wedding. That was my big dream, still is. To dream of being a "sucessful" artist on the one hand is really impractical and difficult to attain. However, one could dream that same dream for years and years. Plus accomplishing that sort of a goal (or being an athlete) lasts a bit longer than just one day. I guess I would just be really let down if I had this big dream about this one special day and then all of the sudden the day is over. As for superheros, well, being Super Man is unattainable, but I suppose there are many everyday heros.
