How to win your dream wedding

Bree L asked:


I am getting married July 2007 in my parents backyard. Their backyard really is just BLAH but they have an empty acre next door. I dont want all of the neighboors houses in the pictures and this lot is empty. I was also thinking is there any solutions to making your own gazebo (something simple and cheap) not exactly the real thing or just other things to subsitute it. I am just drawing blanks to make an empty field into a wedding.

We have a Klingon theme and its driving me crazy trying to find everything and different types of unusual things but at relatively cheap prices. Everything is massively expensive and then you have to pay shipping, we’re having a simple wedding but we want it our way and this is our way. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find any stuff other then Ebay?

OPENING CREDITS:
“Why I’m Here” by Oleander

Everybody has been in my face
Telling me that I’m a disgrace
Showing me things that I must face
Telling me that they need their space

I can’t love you anymore
I’m scared of the sound of it

WAKING UP:
“Before I forget” by Slipknot

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
BEFORE I FORGET THAT!

FIRST DAY OF HIGHSCHOOL:
“Zzyzx rd” by Stone Sour

Propped up by lies and promises
Saving my place as life forgets
Maybe its time I saw the world

FALLING IN LOVE:
“Topless” by Breaking Benjamin

love your face, just get away.

I’m on my knees, fuck you, fuck me.

I’m on my way, to feel you,
dislocate.

Safe in your space.

I’m open, wide open.

FIGHT SONG:
“24 Hour Break-Up” Session by Local H

A 24 hour break-up session, comin’ on strong like an intervention
Back and forth and crazy and we ain’t done yet, does me no good ’cause I’m sick of sex
Back and forth and crazy and it’s never enough, ’cause it’s 24 hours of breaking up

This would have been a good song for the next one.

BREAKING UP:
“What about now” by Daughtry

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.

Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

PROM:
“Love Song” By Sara Bareilles

If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don’t want it for a minute
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There’s a reason to write you
A love song today
Today, yeah

LIFE:
“Wait” by Earshot

On my own,
I’ll show myself what it means to be alone.

And the tears i cry are washed away.

All the scars are my disguise.

MENTAL BREAKDOWN:
“My Goddess” by The Exies

You were counting on a freefall
You laid your bet I would lose all
Chalk up one less crucifixion
I kicked that sick, old addiction

DRIVING:
“Bird Sings Why The Caged I Knows” By Atmosphere ?

Well I’ll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she’s a snake that can fly) she’s just food for the fleas
She thinks she’s better then me just because she’s free?
I’ll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she’s a snake that can fly) she’s just food for the fleas
She thinks she’s better then me just because she’s free?

My beautiful bird has gone away

FLASHBACK:
“Alone” by The Prom Kings

So what do you want from me
You’re kiling my sanity
I’m trying too hard to see
The sun is gone, i’m all alone

GETTING BACK TOGETHER:
“Meet Virginia” by Train

She never comprimises,
Loves babies and surprises,
wears high heels when
she exercises
Ain’t that beautuiful
Meet Virginia

WEDDING:
“Shimmer” by Fuel

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind

BIRTH OF A CHILD:
“Everything You Want” by Vertical Horizon

He’s everything you want
He’s everything you need
He’s everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don’t know why

FINAL BATTLE:
“Gone away” by Cold

When you cry
But I’ll be there to hold you tight
And I would kill
I would fight
To keep you close
I keep singing the same way
I won’t live
If you died

DEATH SONG:
“Never There” by Strata

You were the one who could save me
You were the one who abandoned me

I am patiently waiting here to see
Which of us survives
When all of this collides with reality

FUNERAL SONG:
“Meant to live” by Switchfoot

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

END CREDITS:
“Hollow” by Submersed

You see
The things I cannot change
The things that make me plain
Lift me up my soul’s so hollow
Lift me up

So i guess what i am asking is how and what do i need to do to keep it simple, cheap, and still give her a little wedding? Thank you

Baby Sleep Tonight

mylife asked:


I had a dream the other night, but I don’t know what it means. I wrote it in story form so you can see it like me.

I found myself on the beach at night. There were explosions everywhere as I walked threw the soft, cool sand. I looked up at the sky that was bright, because of the exploding missiles and gun powder. I cam to a long deck and under it was a few army green tents, weapons, and tracking devices. There was an older man with white hair, and judging by the amount of pins and awards on his jacket, he was in charge. For some strange reason he looked up from what he was doing and pointed at me.
“You girl, come here,” he said pointing to me. “The only way to win this war is with ‘The Hurricane’. It is a secret weapon but no one knows what it does, but we do know is that it will be found when really needed,” he explained.
“Well how am I supposed to find it?” I asked.
“How am I supposed to know? Now leave my sight,” he said returning to his work. It took me a few seconds to get to a small shack on the beach. I looked down the beach and saw no sign of the long deck. I stepped threw the screen door and there was another older man, but he looked more fragile sitting down watching his outdated TV.
“Where’s ‘The Hurricane’?” I asked some how knowing that he knew.
“It is time,” he said while getting out of his chair. From around his neck he pulled a key and walked toward a set of old bowling lockers. He unlocked the very center locker and inside was and old video labeled “The Hurricane.” He slipped it into his VCR and it started playing. At first it was a home video of a young couple standing on a boat. They looked happy and the woman wore a wedding ring. It flashed to another scene. The man was sailing off to war reaching for his wife back on shore. I couldn’t here the words they were speaking, only the slow sad song in my mind as I watched the film. They showed airplanes and bombs, but the man lived. It showed him coming home, happy to be returning back to his wife, his love. But fate had another plan in mind. He walked into the house door and there on the floor laid his wife, dead. I watched the rest of the film with tears in my eyes. Short clips represented the man’s life since her death, until the last picture faded in. It was a picture of the old man sitting beside me. “Put this on a screen. The men attacking will stop and turn around to see the ones they love” And then I woke up.

I live in France and am planning on going back to the states for my sister’s wedding. She does not want me to attend the wedding in my hijab.
At first she said I could not even come with it on. Then she said it was my choice but she preferred I took it off.
My plan was to compromise. I won’t wear all black, abaya and huge veil. I will wear something in color, and try to find some dress that is very very modest, stylish, with a veil to match.
Then my mom on the phone said again, ‘she’s really hoping you come in normal clothes.’
I’m getting very upset about this. Even having bad dreams about my family and how closed minded they are. I will not take it off. Should I just not go to the wedding and risk breaking familial ties (that’s haram!) or just go with my veil and endure the abuse my family is going to dole out?
For the first answer, I will tell you now that I am not implying other women who don’t veil as ‘sluts’ per se. Don’t be simplistic. I may think they do not have a clear conception of human nature, but I am not so ignorant as to think they are promiscuous..
don’t be simplistic in your thinking…
If you don’t erase that huge anti-islam rant from this thread, i will report you.

taradelynn777 asked:


Okay so my wedding is set for december 19th of this year,, although it might have to be moved up to the 30th due to family stuff. anyway, my date isnt changing from this december, so what i really need is some advice on how to go about this in a cost effeiciant way! i wanted a nice wedding, but my parents aren’t with me. his parents on the other hand, want some kind of ceremony and won’t let it go. i would like a nice simple thing, but im worried some of my ideas are cheap. like since its a afternoon i was just gonna have some vegtable trays and fruit, some desserts and a cake and then punch. we are a young couple so there wont be any drinking. we are thinking with a simple wedding we can still invite everyone we want to without it affecting the price. is it wrong to say my wedding party just get their own dress? it can be whatever they choose together its only my sister and best friend. and what kind of decorations are pretty that are still simple and unexpensive?? BTW our wedding is not christmas themed, its lavendar and off white. any ideas would be sooo great i am in tears! i’ve been planning this since march and im no closer to any answers and the big day is a couple months away! HELP!

How To Make A Diaper Cake

California asked:


My fiancee and I just got engaged literally a week ago, and have barely started talking about when, where, and how we’re going to pay for the wedding. So far, we’ve only talked about who we want to invite, where we would *like* to have the ceremony, and parts about the reception. I want to add that none of these have been in depth conversations, just general ideas being thrown out there for the sake of it all.
Well we’re already arguing about the costs, how we’re going to get all the planning done, the honeymoon, etc. And now quite frankly, I just don’t want to talk about it anymore since every time we get to talking, it turns to arguing, which makes me believe that if we can’t even get into the planning stages civilly, how can we make it through the hard times in a marriage?
It’s going to be a very small wedding, I’m talking maybe 25 people. All but four being my family and friends. I’d like to invite more, but being on a “strict” budget, I have to stick to my close friends and immediate family. I know my fiancee could invite more people, but for some reason doesn’t want to, which I guess is fine (although weird to me?). So far, I’ve mentioned that I’d like to have the ceremony at the beach in my hometown, and he’s said he wants to get married by a pastor. We’ve also said that since there aren’t going to be many people, to just rent out a part of a restaurant and have the reception there where everyone can get what they want to eat, and would probably be cheaper than renting out a hall and getting caterers.
My fiancee says he doesn’t want to spend more than $1,000 for the whole thing, including the dress, cake, restaurant, paper work, the wedding rings, photographer, decorations and whatever else goes along with it. Personally, I don’t think we could do it all with that limited amount of money. I agree that we shouldn’t go in debt over this, but I also would like a nice wedding that I’ve dreamed about since I was little and I want it to be nice for my guests, plus my parents said they would help out with the finances as much as they could. For some reason though, he won’t take my parents’ help into account and is making it sound like getting married and planning the wedding has become a huge financial burden to him, kinda making me feel guilty for wanting a nice wedding, all while I believe it should be fun and bring us moreso together. Several times while conversation he has shot down my ideas, or made me feel silly for suggesting something that would cost too much or be too much work.
It makes me very sad and afraid that this is just the beginning of a long hard road, where I have to settle for less because my future husband is stern, uncompassionate, and doesn’t want to spend a little extra money so I can have a somewhat elegant wedding to him. I know I sound a little selfish, but it is also my day and I don’t want to sacrifice too much, or regret not doing it a certain way and later resenting my future husband. And I’m not talking about a $20,000 wedding, just enough for a “modestly nice” one.
Am I being unreasonable about this? Just to completely save money, effort, my relationship, and my sanity I am really considering just eloping in Reno and having a dinner afterward for my family and friends.
Any advice, words of wisdom, or similar stories? Thanks!
