When we first got engaged, Mr. Parfait and I spent a night separately writing out our ideas of the “dream wedding”. If you can’t tell from the premise, this was totally my idea. We wrote what we’d choose for each element of a wedding if our budget, time, and resources were limitless, and then we compared our lists. Let’s start with Mr. Parfait’s notes, shall we? These are the quick notes he jotted down that night:

Music: A DJ that we know… but will play some of our favorite songs. I am sure if we started to record the ones we love together, we will have a nice list. I want to stay away from typical “white people” wedding songs. Does this make sense? I think it does.

Colors: Blue and white… the blue can be a contrast of blues, but they have to be the color of a blue rose. I think the color of a blue rose should be the basis for all napkins and silverware, etc.

Flowers: Blue roses everywhere… petals, too. White flowers can complement them. Blue and white will be the theme colors, and the flowers can really make this. Blue orchids? I think I would like this a lot. Since most blue flowers are dyed, it should be possible to get a variety.

Photographer: Someone who chooses interesting angles and colors. I really don’t see the need to pay someone to take everyday normal pictures. Ya kno’? I don’t know how to communicate this to the photographer, though.

Location: Someplace that has a classy feeling to it when you drive up. The decor on the inside doesn’t have to be as fancy, but I want people to feel special that they are coming into this place for our wedding. Getting married outside would be the best… I REALLY would love this.

Food: I want filet mignon and some sort of grilled chicken. Veggies/seafood can all be chosen by the future Mrs. Parfait. Alcohol will be free for guests, especially Serbian drinks.

Size: Medium-sized wedding. I suppose 200-300, which may seem large at first, but that really will be just enough to fit all of the key people in our lives.

Bride’s Dress: Something fitted so I can see Miss Parfait’s curves, but obviously I want it to be classy more than sexy. I want to see a veil and some sort of hanging part… ya know, so little girls in cute dresses can carry it off the floor. I want your hair to be up, but for you to have two pieces on each side of the head that fall in front of your face. Does this make sense? I picture it, and it is beautiful.

Groom’s Suit: Gray pin-striped suit with a white or baby blue vest and/or tie. Something to bring out my eyes and match the blue roses! (See a theme?) Spiky hair… 1 week old from being cut!

Bride’s Girlzz: A light blue dress… something cute and fun. I want them to be able to move and dance in it! This is important so they have a good time!

Groom’s Boyzz: A black suit with a blue tie that match one another. I think even if the suits are cut differently, they should have the same shoes.

Rings: Simple/classy wedding rings. Gunmetal would be nice… a grey color, of sorts.

I’ll share what I wrote that night, next!

Did your man have specific ideas about the wedding? Did any of them surprise you?
