I confess: At this point in my life, I don't really want a typical wedding. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on one day. I don't want to feed 100+ people afterwards. I don't want a million pictures. I don't want bridesmaids or frilly things.
Last night, my friends and I watched The Prince of Egypt. When Moses and Zipporah got married, I thought, "That's what I want mine to be like." A simple white dress, married under the stars by the mountains with a big bonfire in the back, some flower petals, married by my dad (he's a pastor, he's allowed to ); just a wonderful get together on a beautiful, warm spring night.
I know, "But you're a girl!", and shouldn't I have been dreaming about the best wedding ever since I was 4, and looking at magazines and picking out dresses, but nope. I'm not even trying to be a "wedding hipster", I just...really don't want the whole shebang. It seems like too much. And it's totally okay for others that do, I'm not putting them down at all, just saying that my confession is that I want it to be as simple as possible.

Exactly! My second wedding is going to be a barbecue at my parents' lake house where I'll wear a whitish sundress and flip flops. Then honeymooning at the winery down the road. Simple and fun with awesome people, and good food, and and great wine.
All I need now is the groom. =)
