According to my bridalbook account... I have 82 weeks and 1 day until my wedding date. (It's funny when I think about it... or that I actually have an account ---it was Pao's idea, seriously--- since I'm already married. And I'm happy. Weird. I think I just like the fact that I'm planning an awesome ass "party" that actually getting married... again. Not exactly a devout catholic, obviously though I do hope God doesn't hold that against me. I'm happy being civilly married. Finally got my new signature down. Breezing through the day to day. Doing very homey-homebody things with my husband and our kid. Doing the normal stuff. The fulfilling stuff. The stuff dreams are made of.

But still, there's a wedding I have to plan and I might as well make it frikkin' amazing. Practical but amazing. =P

Now I'd only come to finalize this theme just after I'd gotten engaged last Christmas and had to choose what I really wanted lest me and my fickle-mind accidentally steal my little sister's own wedding theme. (She'd have killed me. =) I know weddings and brides in general want to tend to look like their most natural but there's something so classically and beautifully enchanting about the old hollywood era that even though it may not look like the no-makeup-makeup-look... it's definitely one look we secretly wish we looked like the moment we got out of bed. And it was more than just a look... it was an air. A grace. A subdued elegance. Quiet yet powerful femininity. And to think there was no photoshop back then. They just looked... INCREDIBLE... with their false lashes and their finger-curled wavy hair and their deep set eyes.

Man these old hollywood girls could "smeyes" the shit of Tyra.

Of course the men will look old hollywood DAPPER. Clark Gable, James Dean. Exuding cool without even trying.

I chose Starry Night because it was honestly and incredibly, the first image that popped into my head as I tried to desperately describe and clearly articulate the colors I wanted ----- deep, dark blues, gold and silver, like a wedding in the midnight sky type wedding. And since me and my husband's more memorable encounters always occurred some time after midnight.

I thought it would be fitting.


..........................

Now I need me some money so I can turn this sh*t into a frikkin' reality. =P

On that note, I better get back to work.

(Psst, Mika? These are my final plans, k? Hahahahaha! Don't forget I get dibbs on that Pronovias grecian dress at your wedding. Just figure out how you're gonna channel Marilyn Monroe cuz she's my favorite. =)
