I was never one of those little girls Imagining My Wedding Since I Was Five. When I was five, I got this idea in my head that you had to marry somebody with the same birthday as you, even though I knew my mom and dad had different birthdays. But the only person I knew who I shared a birthday with in my Catholic kindergarten was another girl, how was I ever going to find someone to marry?! (Yes, I learned about girls who liked girls once I transferred out of Catholic school, LOL. But that still left me knowing nobody else who shared my birthdate!)
After that got straightened out, I stopped caring about weddings until I started being in serious relationships 15-20 years later, and even when![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
hyounpark and I were planning our own wedding, making all the little choices and doing every last tedious bit associated with it - five years later, ( what do I remember? )
I'm a foodie, and I couldn't tell you what food we had at our wedding because I think I got to eat maybe two bites of it? There were M+Ms in various shades of blue and white and I remember that because we got our names printed on them!
Still, there is this:
And everything after.
(Three weeks ago, my brother's wedding started 20 minutes late because there was a miscommunication about the programs and we had to make a surprise last-second 15 mile round trip back to the hotel to retrieve them because primarily English ceremony with written guidance in Chinese. I joked to the pastor as we ran out to the car that we were upholding family tradition. He seemed a bit alarmed by that.)
