• Location: A beachside oasis. Like a garden near the coast, in a large gazebo?
• Attire: http://www.emmagem.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/toga-1-200x300.jpg will be something like the dress I want. I want to pick out fabric, find a pattern, and take it to a seamstress. Maybe linen. That dress isn't really what I want, I just want something toga inspired. I can't decide if I want to be barefoot or have some white strappy sandals. As for jewelry... not sure. I don't do well with jewelry, if I do wear it it'll be silver of course and maybe pearls? I love black pearls.
• Hair: .... haven't thought this through, but I'm thinking loose and wavy/curly.
• Music: A few acoustic guitars, bass players, percussion including bongos, congas, djembe, etc... piano.. I want people who will jam!
• Size: Humble. I have a pretty big family, so I don't want it to be a 20 guest wedding, but not a monsterous party.
• Food: Berries! I'm not sure. I'd love a Mediterranean cuisine... I'm not kidding about the berries, though, I want berries and random fruits at every table. Kiwi, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, grapes. AND BAKLAVA.
• Drinks: Open bar. Hopefully no one will get sloppy, but I'd really like to have an open bar.
• Bridesmaids: Different dresses, not sure what colors yet it depends on the circumstances. Cool or warm colors.
• A unity sand ceremony <3
• Custom dress, nothing fancy but one made for me. Probably going to buy a pattern from a fabric store, grab the fabric and have a friend or seamstress make it. Probably toga inspired.

• Handmade invitations - meaning... construction paper, stamps, printed photo, etc.
• Unique vows
• One MoH and one bridesmaid. Mary, my sister, and Candace, my best friend. I guess this is something to discuss with the man in my life, but if this is all my decision then 1/1.
• Parrot flowers!
• Some incorporation of "Attitude" by Charles Swindoll, this will probably go in my vows somewhere.
• No diamonds, or minimal diamonds/flashy jewels please. I'd like a band with either embedded jewels/designs/words or a black pearl!
• Alternative gift registry as well as a regular gift registry if we need it. I know my best friend just got married and didn't really need much so she felt silly registering just because of everyone's request.
• I better be in fucking shape, I refuse to be anything less than stunning on this day. Shallow as it sounds it's my one 'not gonna budge' requirement of myself.
• Super long wavy hair. I just mean long as in nearing halfway down my back but not longer than that, so just long wavy hair not super long.

Reception!

• Live musicians
• Bounce house
• Open bar of local brew???
• "favors" or gifts of seeds/plants for people to grow of either the flowers at the ceremony or some fruit/veggie.
• Maybe a cookie cake! Or pie! I'm kind of cake picky.
• Ride off on bikes! My dress will probably change to something like this - http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/uploaded_images/2584-728232.jpg - which I really love.. keep the fancy hair and jewelry but a plain tunic dress? Sounds good to me.

Honeymoon!!

• I have no idea where I want to go but I know I'll have no problem incorporating sex into a vacation so it's not necessary to "get away" unless that's really what we want. I mean like lock ourselves in a cabin in the mountains, if we want that, fine, but if we go to Glasgow I'm sure a bustling city to see won't stop me from having lots of newlywed sex.
• 1 week or 1 month. Depends, but those are the 2 time frames I'd like to work with. I love the idea of taking 1 month off of normal life to celebrate.
