One time, we were talking about how we wanted our wedding to look like. She wanted this stuff and I wanted that stuff and before we knew it, the whole picture just got so messed up. Our wedding would have looked like a patched quilt! That’s until we decided to have a themed wedding. Having a theme, we thought, would make deciding less stressful, because with a theme we had a direction – a baseline - upon which all aspects of the wedding would have to align with. Now, we just have to think of a theme.
Themed weddings aren’t exactly rare. We could go Filipiniana, Mediternean, Baltic, Etruscan, Castillan, Venetian, Medieval, Colonial etc etc etc, a couple of fusion there and dash of combi there. We ended up in the same mess!
One day while watching TV, Jen just opened a topic about Angelina Jolie and how she adored her in the movie ‘Changeling’. It was a movie set in the 1920’s…
Then it hit me! I searched the internet and baaaam! I showed it to Jen and she loved it! We are going vintage! As I continuously showed her images from the net on different vintage weddings, she said that it was the kind of wedding she would have wanted. Well its not necessarily the 20’s because that would be way too old. We just want a kind of “old” that’s enough to bring back memories. We could feel it– old school, yes, but it was the golden age of everything. One never goes wrong with the classics.
Ok. There’s an alternative story in this. Having a vintage theme is the only way the vintage cars wouldn’t get scrapped out of the wedding plans =) And I am b-e-n-t on getting in that Buick (evil laugh**).
