Thinking of the Future

May 20 2006
Today I went to Christy Parr and Bradley Byrum's wedding (now Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Byrum).  It made me think a little bit about what I would like my wedding to be like.  I really liked their wedding because it was simple and really down-to-earth.  There were a lot of things that I really liked and some things I would have changed.

I liked how family-friendly the atmosphere of the reception was.  The Bride and Groom toasted on Ale-8s and guests munched on cake, peanuts, mints, and M&Ms.  So simple I loved it.  I also liked the cameras on the tables for memories.  Friends from the B were serving the guests punch and Ale-8.  It was nice.

I didn't like that the Bride did not have a Father/Daughter dance nor did the Bride and Groom have their first dance as a married couple.  Now, I don't necessarily want a dance floor or tons of dancing but I already know what song I want to dance to with my Dad.

I also like that they had a slideshow fo them growing up and then together.  That was really nice.   Bradley also sang a song to Christy and that was sweet.  I think that in the ceremony, I wouldn't change anything.  I liked that they didn't really have ushers.  I liked both parents joining the Bride and Groom at the alter to give each away.  That was cool.

All in all, it was a beautiful ceremony and gave me a lot to think about...not that I'm getting married anytime soon...but every little girl thinks about her wedding day.  So it just got me thinking...
