A Strange Dream

Exam count: 2/3. One more to go... Tomorrow. And it's the worst of all. Math. Bleh.

But anywho, on to more sunshine-y thoughts. Figuratively. It's raining heavily here.

Well! Weddings. Yes. I love weddings. Did I tell you I had a dream a couple nights ago where I got married? The dream took place during the reception, and can I say it was tacky? I hope my wedding is not actually like that! It took place in this big hall, but there weren't very many decorations, and it was very run-down. They also had a stage (like a highschool drama stage) that was really old. In my dream, my husband put on a play for me... I think it was about how we met or something? Supposedly? Though I never saw the whole thing because in the dream they were still rehearsing and they didn't want me to see, and I woke up before they actually performed anything. And in the first few minutes of the play, I was supposedly being played by my cousin-in-law from the October Wedding. She was wearing this bright blue almost Western dress that was very short and had lots of layers in the skirt. Can I say strange?! VERY, very strange.

Oh, and did I tell you that my husband changed names like 3 times? (I hope that's not an omen of something haha! Because that's just horrible.) Well I remember the first two names: Morse and Martin. These were the last names, by the way. I didn't ever hear the first name. It was because there was this sign that said Morse wedding, which proceeded to change to Martin wedding in the course of the wedding. And then when I actually saw my husband, he wasn't any of those people- somehow I just knew. It was almost as if I was trying to guess who my husband was, and I didn't know who I was actually marrying. S-T-R-A-N-G-E!

But my dress was gorgeous in the dream. It was a little bit creamy in colour, but not too much, strapless, and the top was made of sort of satin-y fabric. The skirt part started at around my hip and it was made of chiffon, lots of layers. It was very flowy and I think there were a few embellishments on the dress, scattered randomly. It was a beautiful dress, and not really at all what I'll have been thinking about recently (empire waist etc). Though, it did have the chiffon, which I love.

But yeah, can you say weird?

Les Mis

Well, I have an exam in a few hours, but I'm at that point where I just can't study anymore, so I decided to blog a bit.

For some reason, I've been thinking about the musical Les Misérables recently. I saw the production a while back... Oh, it must be a year ago now, and it was just one of those amazing (!!!) stories that you can't help thinking about even well after it's over. Well, recently I've just had this one part of a song stuck in my head. If you know the musical at all, it's the part where Marius comes to the café after seeing Cosette to meet with other revolutionaries. They're all gung-ho about starting a revolution and Marius is just in that lovey-dovey state. It's quite a powerful scene, I think. Anyways, part of the lyrics go like this:

Had you been there tonight
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there tonight
You might also have known
How your world can be changed
With just one burst of light!
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right.

And then Marius does his own take of the chorus. Because the chorus this far has been: "Red, the blood of angry men / Black, the dark of ages past / Red, a world about to dawn / Black, the night that ends at last!" Well, Marius's version goes like this: "Red, I feel my soul on fire / Black, my world if she's not there / Red, the colour of desire / Black, the colour of despair!" It's such a powerful part, one of my favourites in the entire musical. It just describes love so well, I think!

Sigh. Now if only musicals were reality, lol.

Singin' the Single Jingle

Well I'm on the bus again, so I decided to blog a bit.
Though I'm not sure what exactly I should blog about...
Well, I guess I could say that I'm feeling a little blue because here I am, still singing the Single Jingle. Woohoo. But what can you do? And I know there are definite advantages to bring single. But it's just that... I don't know. It sucks, sometimes, too, I guess... You know?

Say NO to that Dress!!!

So I have a crazy busy day ahead of me, but I'm on the bus right now, on the way to school, so I figured I'd blog for a bit....

Well. I actually don't know what I feel like blogging about... Oh, I know. I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress" yesterday - man, I love that show! (No surprise there, though! Haha.) It was the first time I'd seen it in a long time, actually, because it's usually on Fridays and I'm at my church on Fridays. But it was Wednesday and they had two episodes playing! Lucky me! Haha. But ANYWAYS, yeah, I was watching it and I was thinking to myself just how crazy it is how much people are willing to spend on a dress! I mean, I know Kleinfeld's is expensive, but whoa! Like, there was a woman there who had a budget of $5000, which, to me, is a LOT already. But then she fell in love with this dress that was $11000 and change. She ended up getting a "discount" and paying $9900!!! Is that CRAZY, or what? I cannot imagine paying 10 grand on a dress I'm only wearing for a few hours for one day!! I mean, that was the price of that hold club resort I was looking at. (Or s year's tuition and board at a local Bible school!) I cannot fathom spending that much for one day. Yes, I want my day to look special, but I am not going to spend that much money when I could instead use that money to make a downpayment on a house... Or feed a million African children or something! Seriously!

But anyways. That was my tangent. I really do love that show, though! Haha.

More later!

Miss Marian.

Just 'Do it.

Let me start this post, not by talking about hairdos (even though that's what the title is about), but make-up. I just love this photo of Jessica Simpson (even if I don't like the woman herself). Look at her smokey eye! And the pretty-in-pink lip! I love this look. And her hair is actually really pretty, too.
But now, onto more hair-specific photos. I'm not exactly sure what I think about this updo. I kind of like it, but there's something that feels a little off about it... Not too sure what, though... Hmmm....

This next one is very pretty! I just wish the bun was a little bigger, maybe? But gaw-juss.

I love the simplicity of this next photo, and the colour of the model's hair! I'm a blondie, so it gives me some ideas as to what this kind of hair would look like on me. :)

These next two photos are of Eva Longoria, and my, my! How beautiful her hair looks! I love the look of curls pulled up into an updo, and Eva's hairstylist pulled it off magnificently. This, I think is my inspiration photo right now, for my far-distant-wedding.

I like the romantic idea of this photo. I like the tuimbling down of curls, with the little ornamental thingy-s in her hair. It's not quite 'soft' enough, I think, for my tastes, but I still really like it! ;)

I like this next one, too. Again, it's a blonde model, as you might be able to tell haha. And again, I like the idea of the curls pulled back into the updo. There's something very romantic about it. I think she needs some lost tendrils framing her face, though.

I love this look right here. Very modern, very fresh, but still a kind of throw-back in time. Something almost Austen-ian, I dare say? But in any case, gaw-juss, again.

Anyhoo. Just some pics about hair. No biggy. :)

Some Dresses :)

I know it`s been a while since I last posted some pictures, so here are some from the Kleinfeld website!

Some Henry Roth: (BEAUTIFUL!)

I love the lace on it. :)

And a Romona Keveza dress:

I especially love that blue sash. Gorgeous!

Ooh, technology!

I am writing this post from my cell phone and am marvelling at the fact that I can post a blog entry while laying in my bed. Technology, nowadays, I'm telling you!

So I went and saw New Moon yesterday with Missy and my mom. Oh dear, let me just say: ridiculous. And not in a good way. The books are so much better! SO much better. The audience at the theatre just kept laughing, at parts that were supposed to be serious and not at all funny... But it was a nice little outing with my mom and sister.

Hmm, but anyways. I'm supposed to be writing about weddings. Well, actually, the New Moon thing is actually a good segway into wedding talk, because I was just reading about the wedding that happens (I won't say whose, for the few who haven't read it) in Breaking Dawn. Though because it's totally fictional, I won't say too much about it. I mean, to throw a wedding like that would, in real life, cost a LOT of money. (Good thing the Cullens are conveniently rich! Haha.)

But it made me think of wedding costs. How do people afford to get married in this day and age? I mean, did I ever tell you the approximate price of that golf club resort thingy? The one that's nearby and does weddings? Uh, $10,000. Yeah that's right. And then add in the cost of the dress and other elements that wouldn't be included in the package. It's crazy! I cannot imagine spending ten grand on one day, as special as it is. That would be the cost of the tuition and board for a local Bible school for a year! So, $10,000? No thank you!

But anyhow. That's enough for now. More later!

Holy Matrimony

Wow, it's November already! And half-way through! Where does the time fly?
Well, as usual, I have been super busy. It's getting to the end of the semester which means course planning for next semester, exams, projects, tests... and it's also coming up to Christmas! Which means a lot of busy-ness, too. But I'm trying to enjoy it at the same time. You're only ever my age once, and I want to make the best of it.

So, of course I have been thinking about weddings... I still reminisce about the October Wedding... How I love weddings! (Duh.) But it is just such a special time, and I don't think I could ever get bored going to them! I love seeing what different couples emphasize in their ceremony, what rituals, traditions or non-traditions they encorporate, how their personalities come out in the decorations and choice of attire, all of that... But most of all, I love God-centred weddings, in which the couple profess their eternal commitment to the other person with a foundation on our Lord. It just blesses me so much to see this union, this covenant, this faith in action. That's what I think a wedding ceremony is. It's not just a fancy do-dah to spend a lot of money and get a certificate at the end. I believe there is something holy and incredibly spiritual about a wedding with a centre in God. It is a public declaration that the couple will continue to serve one another and serve God together.

In many ways, it kind of reminds me of a baptism. There was just a big group of teens who got baptised at my church's youth group this last week, and it was so amazing, so encouraging to see. The teens had to say a little about why they were getting baptized and it all came back to the same thing: they wanted to take their relationship with God to another level, they wanted to obey Him, they wanted to make a public declaration of their devotion to Him. Well, a wedding is much like this, but with two people, instead of one, partnering with God. When two people come to God's altar and make this holy bond, they are making this public confession to each other, to God and the witnesses there, to take their relationship with each other and with God to the next level, to promise that they will be devote to each other and to God. It is not just a lot of empty words, or spur-of-the-moment words. It is an eternal commitment. And I think that the world has forgotten this. Divorce rates are skyrocketing, marriages are unhappy and unhealthy... So it just encourages me to see a couple take the step and declare their commitment (not just their love, though that's important, too) to each other, to take that next step.

Anyhoo. Just some thoughts...

The October Wedding

Alright, so enough time has passed. I really need to blog about the October Wedding. So, here you go!
Well, let's just say: my, oh, my. It was a beautiful wedding. Eli and Leah got married in a church and they had it decorated beautifully. The theme was a fall wedding, and there were pumpkins everywhere, yellow, red, and orange flowers, and tulle with leaves and butterflies in them. Here, you can see the front of the church, how they had draped tulle above the cross.


The ceremony included Leah's father singing a song to the newlyweds, and the couple combining black and white sand together into a heart-shaped jar. It was also so sweet because as the bride came down the aisle, she was crying; and then I looked back at the groom, and he was crying, too! Such tears of happiness. It was so sweet to see. And the ceremony itself was so beautiful. The pastor really talked about how a marriage should be based on God, and there was a real emphasis on putting your trust and faith in Him to guide you. It was awesome to hear.

At 5ish, we went to the reception. Our table was decorated like this:

It was a lovely reception, too. The speeches were hilarious and heart-warming, the food good, and the location beautiful.

Here is the cake that they had:

Look carefully to see what the bride is doing!!! (Too funny!)

Then, it was time for the First Dance of the couple. It was great! it wasn't exactly conventional, but it wasn't weird, at all. Just a great first dance. Eli sported a fedora all throughout it. Here he is, with his new wife Leah being dipped and kissed!

All in all, it was a LOVELY wedding. I'd write more, but the battery on my laptop is about to die and the charge cord isn't working for some reason... (Don't ask me why! But I hope it gets fixed!)

Anyways, that's all for now!

Love,

Maid Marian

PS. Did I mention my shoes??

I'm home!

Well, I have returned from across the country. The October Wedding was FABULOUS. I'm so glad I had the chance to go. I'll upload some pictures of it later, once I have a chance to upload them to my computer first.
But let me just say it was a gorgeous wedding. The groom (let's call him Eli) just looked so happy to be marrying his bride (let's call her Leah). They were both crying as Leah walked down the aisle; it was so sweet! I had a chance to meet the bride beforehand, while my cousin Juliet and I helped with some decorations for the reception. Leah was just so nice - one of those people who is always smiling, always considerate, always friendly. And I met some of her bridemaids - and they were so nice, too! Especially one bridesmaid, Jenah. It was so funny, because during the rehearsal dinner, we were talking, and the subject of relationships came up, and she just straight-out asked me, "So, are you seeing anyone?" It was just so funny because she just asked straight upfront, and I just laughed and told her, regretfully, no. But I have to admit being single DOES have its advantages sometimes. (Like scoping out the guys at the wedding haha.)
But anyways. I'm supposed be describing Eli and Leah's wedding. It was simply beautiful. The theme they played around with was the fall, and on their favours, they had a little sticker that said "Fall in Love, Leah and Eli October 2009" - too cute!
Oh, and her dress! Gorgeous! It had beading on it, and while it wasn't a big princess dress, it did have some body to the skirt. It was simple, classic, and elegant. She wore no veil and carried a bouquet of orange, yellow and red flowers. (PS. Right now, I am loving the white hydrangea for bouquets! But I'll talk about that another time...)
One interesting thing at the wedding was that the bridesmaids all wore different style dresses made up of the same material. I like that concept in theory, and while each bridesmaid looked beautiful, it was... interesting because all the bridesmaids - Allie, Jenah, Catherine and the other one I never really met - all had different lengths of dresses. They had red dresses which were all beautiful, but it was interesting that the lengths were all different.... I don't know.
But anyhoo. I will continue this later. Right now I'm super tired and I have a midterm to write tomorrow, and so I should finally head to bed. But I thought I'd quickly update my devoted fanbase of millions to the wonderful story of Eli and Leah's wedding.
But for now, adieu.
<3 Maid Marian

Just Because.

Just some pictures to make you laugh... :)

Aha! Found it!

Here's the Mac and Jac jacket I bought to go with my dress for the October Wedding...

Mac and Jac

I went to the Mac and Jac website (http://www.macandjac.com/home) to see if I could find a photo of the jacket I bought, and unfortunately, I didn't find one. But, I found this really neat verse that is their kind of ... 'slogan,' I guess you could call it:

She's beautiful,
Modern
And not quite like
Anyone else.
There's an inner knowing,
An ease about her.
A confidence.
A comfort.
She calms the chaos
And invigorates the mundane.
She sparkles when she talks,
When she listens.
Maybe she's in love,
Maybe she's just happy.
She's the new classic woman.
Mondern,
Sensual and
Ever so in love with life.

I love it! That's the kind of woman I want to be! :)

So Far, So Good

Well, as my last post stated, I am on a diet to lose a few pounds. (What wedding would be complete without a crash diet? And this isn't even my own wedding!) And I am happy to announce it's going well so far. I just tried on my dress and already it's much better. And I haven't even been doing this diet for a week!
Haha, and when I say diet, maybe I should just say, making healthier choices. It's not really a diet in the way that I count carbs or have a rigourous, structered workout with cardio and such coupled with a scheduled list of what I can and can't eat. But I just haven't eaten any junk food, and have been walking a lot. It's been pretty good generally, but every now and then, I wish there was something I could eat. Like, the other day my dad came home and he had a big bag of Doritos chips and I LOVE Doritos. Well, since I'm trying to eat healthier, I didn't have any. And that kindda sucked. And then, the other day, my sister, her friend, and my mom all went to see the movie Fame and they all bought popcorn and such. So many times, I almost asked for a few pieces, when I remembered that I shouldn't have any. But that's ok, I had delicious Yogen Fruz frozen yogurt, so that made up for it. :) And there will be other times to have popcorn.
So, mostly, I have been living off of veggies. They are SO good - celery, cucumber, yellow pepper.... And I have been having some good wholesome sandwiches with said vegetables (minus the celery), plus sprouts (mmm!), cheese, sometimes egg, and tomato. I <3 sandwiches! And the other day, I made calzones for my family and they turned out SO well. I stuffed them with all those veggies, and added some tomato sauce, my own version of alfredo sauce (not made with cream, but skim milk - it looked disgusting but it added the perfect touch to the calzone), mushrooms, and chicken breast. Yum!!
I haven't checked the scale yet to see how much I actually have lost- mostly because I don't really think that it's relevent. I mean, it's a number, a number bound to fluxuate throughout the course of the day, a number that can mean the weight of fatty tissue or of muscles. It really is pretty deceiving. I mean, yes, the scale gives you a good idea as to how you're doing health wise, but I certainly won't live my life by it.
But yeah, so far, so good! :)

Le cinq octobre

Well, I'm supposed to be looking over some English notes as I have a little quiz today... But... I just don't feel like doing it right now. And I think I know the works we need to know well enough.
SO I decided to blog a bit while I wait for my class to start.
Well, the October Wedding is fast approaching. And I found a dress! It's so cute. Maybe I'll post pictures of it later. It's black and falls to about the knee. It has a relatively tight fit and little cap-sleeves. And I got a jacket to go with it since it is getting colder by the day! The jacket is kindda unique and funky. It's a fitted jacket, made from red, purple and black threads and has three-quarter length sleeves. I love the look! Now, just to find a bag and shoes!! :)
The only thing about the dress is that it might be a little snug. Just a little. They didn't have the next size up in the store, so I just got the dress. But now I am on a crash (but healthy!) diet and hope to lose a few pounds so the dress fits perfectly. So, we'll see how that goes... I'll try to keep you updated!
I am getting so excited for the wedding, though. It will be the first wedding I've actually attended in a few years, and I can't wait to see family and just hang out across the country with my cousins etc for a few days. It will be so nice!

Well, another thing I've been thinking of is names. Yes, not really wedding-related, but I love names, too. And considering that after I get married I will have kids, names are kinds-sortta-maybe related to the topic of weddings. SO without further ado... I have thought of a new name to name a little girl. I already have a million names in the wings (my poor husband - he will have barely any say!! Haha), but I thought of this combo and really liked it. It's Lucy Evangelyn. I think it flows nicely and has a good connotation. Lucy means light and Evangelyn comes from evangelist, meaning Bringer of Good News. And plus, I've always loved the name Lucy because of CS Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia . So we'll see. I don't know, I really like it! :)

Well, that's all for now. Maybe I will review the English works one more time....

<3 Maid Marian

I Am Such a Hopeless Romantic.

Well, that's an obvious title. But I was really struck by it today. I'm reading this book, and it's not at all a romance; more of an adventure. But it has a romantic element to it. This girl is trekking through the wilderness of Early 1800 Mississippi, with a bounty on her head (for numerous reasons from the previous books in the series) and her fiancé is chasing after her, though she doesn't know it. The two characters have been separated for a long time and fate is just not on their side. It's a pretty good book. I started the series probably about five-ish years ago, and am onto Book 5 of 7 (so far. I don't know if there will be more books after the seventh). But it just got me thinking about love and life and fate. I don't know. I've sometimes wondered if there really is a special someone for everyone. But I read books like these, and it feels so convincing, so true that an idealized (if a little crazy at times -- the girl character is just that: a character!) perfect love could happen, and I want to believe it with all my heart, but sometimes I wonder...
Is love just a choice that we make? That we happen to find a person that we could live with for the rest of our lives, and they agree that living with us would be fine, too? Or is it that magic moment like they portray in movies and books where beautiful music plays and the wind blows softly and the couple gaze into each others' eyes and the whole world is right? Or is that just a gimmick that Hollywood uses to sell titles?
I know I started this post about saying that I am a hopeless romantic. And I am. But lately I almost feel ... cynical about it. We all want to believe in love at first sight and finding the "One." And I believe he's somewhere out there... But then I start to doubt myself. Maybe he isn't out there, maybe I'm just fooling myself, trying to make myself feel better. Maybe I am wasting my time on waiting for this imaginary person. I don't know.
I just don't know.

I need help...

...and I'm not referring to my wedding addiction.
Quite the opposite.
I need help finding a suitable dress for a Fall wedding. All my dresses are kind of summer-y, and I don't know where to look! Yikes! I have about 2ish weeks 'til we fly out to attend the wedding... I have started browsing some stores but most of their dresses are very casual... And if they're not, they're very expensive! Hm hm hm. My dear mother and I are going shopping this weekend hopefully, so we'll see how that goes. But where does a girl find a wedding-appropriate dress for the Fall for a good price?

Shell Belle

I've had these photos FOREVER. Shell and I went out for coffee a while back and of course our talk drifted to weddings (I promise that's not all we talk about!!) and she told me of this dress that she fell in love with...I searched it up online, and she just thinks it's the perfect dress! (of the moment anyways! She's like me and always finds a new dress) for her far-off-distant-though-I-pretend-it's-really-close wedding. And it is a GORGEOUS dress in my humble opinion. She found it on Craigslist I do believe, though I can't seem to remember the price... $800 I think? But yeah. LOVE it.

Isn't the back just beautiful? I love the detailing. Yet it's not over-the-top.

Sigh. Get married, already, Shell!

I Still Exist!

It's been officially a month since I last posted. And a lot has happened since then. Sorry to my millions of readers (ha!) for taking so long...
But anywho. Yes. Where to start? Well, camp was good. Tiring and challenging but good. (And I finally got over the guy I liked, which is good, too.) And since then, I've started school again, which has actually been awesome this semester. Good instructors and some interesting material.
AND GUESS WHAT (wow, totally ADD)! I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks! Across the country! I'm so excited. I just found out yesterday that I'm going. I mean, my family and I knew about the wedding, but weren't sure if we'd be able to go, what with work and school. But my dad and I are going to go together and I could not be more excited. I mean, I LOVE weddings (who'da thunk?) and to see my family again will be so nice (even though we're only there for about three and a half-ish days when you take into consideration the time it will take to travel there). But I cannot wait. :) Eeeee! (<- a kind of excited, big smile and exclamation. Haha.)
But anyways. I have some photos to blog about. So I will be right back and blog about them...
Maid Marian

Goin' Campin'

I have some stuff to blog about, but I won't be able to for a week-ish at least, because I am off to camp to intern. I just came back from our kids camp, and now I'm headed off to youth camp! Woohoo! Can't wait.
But, sorry. That means you have to wait a while....

Venues

I've been thinking about where, should I be getting married, I would have my wedding and reception. Would I like to be married in a church? I actually don't think I'd like to be married in my church. I don't know. I love my church. But I don't think I'd like to get married in it. It's just... I don't know. I can't describe why I wouldn't want to. (Weird, huh?) I think if I got married in a church, I'd like to get married in a little chapel, with stained-glass windows and a cute little garden in the front (maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic). My cousin got married in a little chapel like that in Europe, but unfortunately in North America, those kind of chapels are hard to come by... But it would be so sweet! (And unfortunately, I won't be able to do a destination wedding.)
Another option is getting married on the beach. I'd love it. The only problem is that what if the weather doesn't co-operate? The fact is, where I live, the weather never co-operates. It's hot when you don't want it to be, and it rains when you don't want it to. But it would be nice to get married on a beach! Though, how does that work? Do you rent part of the beach for the day? Or do you just let passerbyers just walk in on your wedding?
Another option is having a garden wedding. The only thing is, again, with the weather. How reliable is the weather in my area? Not at all. Though, you COULD rent out those big tents you sometimes see. That might be nice. But what if it was actually POURING on the day of your wedding? Would the tents be sufficient?
One other option, sort of like the garden wedding, is having it on a place like a golf course. There's this luxurious golf club in my town, and I've perused its website, and they do weddings and the location is GORGEOUS. AND they have an indoor option if the weather decides it doesn't like you that day. The only thing is, it's expensive.
So yeah. Options. Lots of options. With pros and cons, each of them. Hmmm.... Well, the good news is I have a long time to decide!! Haha.

Cinderella Dressed in Yella

I'm thinking I'm really loving yellow. It's such a happy colour!

It makes me happy. Just thought you'd like to know.

Haha, oh dear... Make sure your parents like your Honey... or else...

Wow. Need I say more?

A Jane Austen Wedding

I love Jane Austen.

Love, love, love. (I mean, some of my girlfriends and I even refer to the guys we like by Jane Austen hero names... how silly and juvenile is that? Haha. ...My guy's Bingley, by the way. Just so you know... HAHA)

I'm reading The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet by Colleen McCullough right now, and it's put me into a Jane Austenian mood. (If you couldn't tell before!)

So, I decided to look up some Jane-Austen-inspired weddings. And here's one that I found...

From www.bridalwave.tv/get_the_look/2.html

Maybe Jane Austen is actually the reason I love empire-waisted dresses so much?

Weddings, weddings, and more weddings

Lately, I feel like everyone's been getting married. Or having babies.
Well, not EVERYONE.
But, wow. August is a popular time to get married, apparently...
Just makes me think... when will I get married?

You HAVE to check this out!

The cutest cake toppers ever! They can make the cake toppers look like you and your honey! What an awesome idea! I love it!
