I See Purity, I Hear Joy.

Day 7:
Your dream wedding.

I know I am really behind in this 30 day meme. While I still have this mood to blog and am able to release my thoughts to a place with more storage space, I shall try to complete this meme before the start of the new year.

Anyway, I don’t think I ever want to get married. Don’t be mistaken, I love weddings. Weddings are happy events, unless it’s a forced marriage we’re talking about. It’s the fact of marriage, or life after the wedding that I abhor. I don’t want to be tied to responsibilities like being a great wife or/and a great mother. I don’t even think I’m capable of taking care of myself, what more my other half and child/children.

If I really have to give a say on this topic, my dream wedding would be something like Lily and Marshall's from How I Met Your Mother(that episode is one of my favourites!). Not the apparent grand one with all those fine details of course, but just the simple, intimate outdoor event with just their closest friends - Ted, Barney and Robin. In my case, let's add my immediate family members too. Also, if I were to have a wedding - my wedding dress has to be awesome. I won't take anything other than awesome. (I’m observant when it comes to fashion, especially with the many bridal boutiques we have here. In my humble opinion, I think I can never go wrong in a strapless gown. If I never get married and I have the extra cash, I will definitely pamper myself with a professional photoshoot in a wedding gown. Or maybe gowns.)

Or I might go for the extreme and marry myself like what this lady did. Generally, society might think that she was out of her mind for doing such a thing, but I only have pure respect for her. She even has a Facebook page and a blog. My Chinese is naturally not up to standards, but I read articles about her wedding and saw some photos – truly, I respect her so. I fully agree with this quote of hers, "You must learn to love yourself before you can love others." That's one thing I have yet to learn. It's not as easy as it sounds like, for a people-pleaser like me.

That said, I rather be the one attending weddings. Having the limelight on me as the bride will be super stressful. It'll be really lovely to just watch such an occassion and feel happy for the new couple.

Weddings aside, I have always dreamt of being this independent career woman. I’ll do awesome in whatever field that I’ll be involved in then, and I’ll have a stable income that is enough to give my parents a comfortable life, support my needs and donate to charities. I also frequently have this image of me wearing a business suit(no intention of being a businesswoman though, not too interested in the world of business), sipping a martini/mocktail/glass of wine/champagne in a high-end bar – looking all sophisticated and my face just screams,

I am a successful and happy woman,
TAKE THAT BITCHES!


I am not daydreaming. I will make this a reality.

Just watch me.
