I had a nice small wedding, but had I had more time and more money, I would have had more. If I were to be doing my 10 year right now, here is a list of things that would change/stay the same:
Groom: Definitely stay the same. :) Love love love my husband, I have since I was 11 years old, and I don't see that ever changing.
Grooms apparel: He wore his dress blues and looked super sexy in them, but by our ten year, I have decided that he is going to be a master chief. So he will wear what master chiefs wear. If you know my husband, you know that is actually pretty realistic.
Dress: Stay the same. I love my dress, and I plan for it to still fit. :)
Groomsmen: I have a feeling they will be the same. Chris loves his brothers and his Gedi. (I probably spelled that wrong.) :p
Bridesmaids: Who knows. A bunch of my last ones kinda stood me up, and with me moving all the time, I will have friends all over the place.
Groomsmen's apparel: Sorry guys, you are in tuxes this time.
Bridesmaids apparel: I had dresses and colors I liked, and my bridesmaids pretty much all pitched various fits...then didn't show up. You (whoever you are) will where what I want you to wear and suck it up. Be happy that if big 80's dresses make a come back, I will still think they are ugly and won't make you wear them. (Note, the bridesmaids that I did have were great and I will probably use at least two of them again.)
Flower girl: My daughter.
Ring bearer: Chris' nephews did a fine job, but they will be too big. If I have sons they will do it, if not, I will find someone else. Who knows maybe Sam will have kids by then. :)
Ushers: My brother again and Chris' nephews.
Giving me away: If my grandpa is willing and able, I will have him do it again. If not, I will walk alone.
Minister: Someone NOT related to either of us. My father-in-law did fine, but I have my reasons.
Parents will have NO part in the ceremony this time except for the mom's lighting the candle, they will be there strictly to party.
Date: I liked my Christmas wedding, but I want an outdoor wedding in the fall this time I think. (If we can fit it in with my Master Chief husbands schedule) Squeezing in the wedding we had was quite the trick as it was.
Colors: Fall colors: I have a passion for orange flowers and I like russets and stuff like that...with pumpkins and things as decorations.
Photographer: My good friend Art. The pictures will not cost me much if anything (may get them as a gift), he will actually edit them and take out any flaws. I know he will get pictures of me at the alter...there are not any from my wedding now....and I won't have to deal with a diva attitude. I will be the center of attention and treated as such. I would have had him do our real wedding, but for various reasons could not...and got subpar pictures and an argumentative photographer as a result...deal or no deal. (Note about the photographer: He does good work on certain things I've seen...my wedding was not one of them.)
Reception: Yes please! Chris thinks it's stupid to have dancing cause neither one of us is much of a dancer or very graceful...BUT I like to dance, and I SHALL dance. Plus...the man can actually dance, I've seen him. He looks hot. And I don't care what I look like. My wedding, I can dance like a fool if I want.
Cake: I will actually get the cake that I WANT from a trusted baker...the cake I got for my real wedding wasn't even remotely close to what I asked for. As I want a fall wedding there will be no candy canes on this one though.
Venue: Preferably outside somewhere.
Honeymoon: I want one this time, a real one to somewhere awesome. Depends on Chris' schedule, and the state of the world though. Kids may or may not go with, I haven't decided that yet. I have just under 9 years, I have time. :)
Rings: I love my rings, I don't want them changed...even though Chris wants them bigger. They are perfect. I'm not a jewelry whore at all.
Guests: We will have them this time. I had to keep it small the first time, but 10 years is time for a big blow out. :)
Ride: Horses. :) LOL. Maybe, we will see. I at least want a nice ride of some kind...a limo, a carriage...who knows. :0)
Invite: I started a painting for the invite for the first wedding, I will find a way to use it this time.
Garters: Will be the same ones I have now. My toss garter went to waste because Chris' brother had his son catch it, and once he knew what it was for he threw it on the ground. Funny sure, but not what I wanted to happen. Someone who wants to catch it will catch it...and since we will be at a reception and not in a church, Chris will actually climb under my dress to get it with his teeth, as is proper and right. :)
Toss Bouquet: I will have a real one made this time. I just did a little cheesy one cause we were gonna be in the church with only his sister and my cousin to catch it...and I knew it would get thrown out. It didn't cost a bunch of money like the toss garter did.
Aisle Music: At the moment it would be, "You're still the one." by Shania. or "Two is better than one." by Boys Like Girls and Taylor Swift (That is my ringtone for Chris.)
Reception Music: DJ.
Well, I think that is it for now. Like I said, it's a ways away still, but I'm a planner...always have been, always will be.
