Day 7


Day 7 - Your dream wedding.

Starting this one I have to say that the first thing that came to my mind was “Cricket Whites instead of a wedding dress.” When I was in high school I got selected to play for Central Rand Girls Cricket Team (not sure what it's called today) and I had to buy cricket whites...well my parent's did for me. Anyway, I was so into playing cricket at that stage in my life and I loved playing games in my cricket whites that my dad was convinced I'd get married in cricket whites and not a wedding dress. I am glad to say that I have changed (a lot) since then.

However, if money were not an issue for me, family and friends, I'd love a beach wedding. Sand between my toes, the waves crashing nearby, that sea smell, sun on your face...aaaaahhh....yes, that would be it. My friend Andrew and Shareen had a beach wedding and unfortunately I wasn't able to attend but the pictures I saw were beautiful – it really does make for something special I think. But living a few (hundred) kilometres from the beach, it probably wouldn't happen.

Honestly though, I don't really have a “dream” wedding (other than a beach wedding – I have ideas, but as mentioned below they change) simply because:
a) I'd like my future husband to influence my decision and theme – for example yellow stripes for decorations and yet he doesn't like yellow – so something we'd both be happy with since it would be OUR day, not mine or his.
b) My mind changes a lot – right now it might be a crime scene wedding... ...okay maybe not but get the idea that my mind changes A LOT; and
c) I'm not in a relationship so I have other things more important to think of.

I don't know...maybe I'm just strange.

*for my none cricket knowledge friends, cricket whites are the clothes one wears when playing cricket - since we always got the shirts for the team, when they said cricket white it ment the pants.
