I'll twist YOUR tradition

I am still working on having my name show up as Wisp (aka Rainbow Brite), but there's this other blog I have with my sister who is pregnant, and I don't want to show up as Wisp there.

Anyway, onward.

There are ways in which Miss Aurora is untraditional compared to other people, but I think she said it best when we first started talking about what we wanted -- "Someone should write a book about how our weddings are going to be so different."

It's funny, because there are things that don't matter to me and I'm finding out that Romeo (my one-and-only) is traditional in some ways. Aurora mentioned the "no seeing the bride" thing, which I don't really care too much about, but he does. So that is something we'll probably be doing.

As far as fathers, well, I am not my father's property and I will never be my husband's, so that whole "giving away" thing really creeps me out. My plan so far is to have Romeo escort his parents down the aisle first, and seat them, and I come down last with my parents and seat them, and that's it. No "who gives this woman" nonsense, because shoot, I'll be twenty-freaking-seven years old by then and I am representing myself.

There's so much of it that's beautiful and exciting that I don't want to focus on the parts I think are sexist or outdated. I have an idea for a dress that features quite a bit of red, and I have so many opinions on what the music will be for the dancing. Oh, the dancing. I can't wait to throw a party with all of my friends and familiy, and I can't wait to get married. Yay!
