I have so many ideas for our wedding. Many of them are outlandish. I don’t care.

I mentioned Mr. Parfait’s and my ideas for our wedding, but they were pretty accommodating to our families, friends, and, well, reality. If we wanted to go completely nutso crazy, fly everyone from place to place, and purchase apparently fictitious clothing; I would have all of this:

1. Ceremony on a beach with all 200+ guests. The softest white sand beneath our feet, delicate strands of tropical flowers hanging from the trees, his eyes as blue as the rolling waves.
2. Reception at Disney World! Dinner and dancing in the castle; Mr. Parfait and I leading a boisterous parade; and all our loved ones together on a carousel! In lieu of cake, we’d eat Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream bars… I love those chocolate-y ears!
3. Post-party bonfire. Preferably on a beach or in someone’s huge backyard. We’d have a table with a glorious display of marshmallows, graham crackers, and a million types of chocolate bars. I’d make s’mores all night long for everyone.
4. I would wear this one white dress that I’ve always wanted, searched for, and compared all other dresses to… since I was 13 years old:

Ahh yes, let’s talk more about the dress. From the moment I saw it onscreen in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet, I loved everything about this dress. It’s so simple, innocent, and cotton-y. More than a decade later, I still love it and think about it whenever I’m shopping for dresses. I own at least five white summer dresses, all purchased because of their similarity to this one. It also doesn’t hurt that the dress caught the eye of this guy:

Aha, the love of my 13-year-old heart. That is, until he made movies that were not Romeo and Juliet, and I was wholeheartedly disappointed that he was not Romeo all the time. Anyway, I also love the halo-like hairstyle and wings she wore with the dress… but to work that, we’d probably need to switch our date to October 31st.

Alas, I haven’t found it yet. Mr. Parfait isn’t a fan of the dress (I blame it on the fact that he didn’t see Romeo + Juliet when he was 13), but I might still beg my mother to make it for me. I would definitely wear it to one of our wedding-related events. Perhaps it would work for my bridal shower or post-wedding brunch… or I could use it for my getaway dress!

What crazy daydreams do you have about your wedding?
