• Gah…

  The carnations are a no go.  My very good friend did not like them…he said it reminded him of a bush! Ugh…who knew he would even care.  But we did agree in the very beginning that we would agree on everything since it was OUR wedding.  Actually, the funny thing is, both of us could care less about the centerpieces.  It wasn’t really a priority to us.  We just wanted it as simple as possible….because we knew that by next year, no one would remember what it was.

  Unfortunately, we have parents who think that centerpieces are of utmost importance for reasons related solely to what other people (mainly their friends) will think of the wedding.  My row of bud vases, each with a single stem of a flower was met with a disgusted face and, “what?  only ONE flower?  It will look cheap”.  And the ever so popular branch idea was met with, “BRANCHES?” and the face.  And then my beautiful floating orchids in tall vases was met with a melodramatic enactment of a choking person….hands surrounding the neck and all….and in between gasps, explaining that flowers inside vases make her feel like she’s suffocating.  They sat around thinking of ways to make our wedding look “expensive”….as if that’s what matters the most.

  Yeah…so we don’t really care.  My very good friend’s centerpiece idea is his favorite….NO centerpieces hahahaha.  I acutally really really love how the tall ones look.  But we have camera crazy friends who we know will be telling the people sitting across from them to pose for pics…so we’d prefer something lower so there isn’t a vase running down someone’s face. 

  At this point, we are probably going to just go with whatever we want….even though it’s untraditional.  But whatever…everything else so far has been exactly what we wanted (except for the veil and the chi pao, but it’s okay…those will only be worn for like 30 minutes) yay!  And out wedding colors are somewhat untraditional (although the parents don’t really know it yet! puahahaha).  So don’t be surprised if you show up at my wedding….and there are NO flowers on the tables .  There will be something though….but it’s the ambiance we wanted to set for the room.  I just hope no one says anything to my parents about why there are no flowers…because that will only prompt the I-told-you-so speech probably for the rest of my life. hhahaha.  But I’m sure at least one of the adults will….sigh….gotta love them Taiwanese adults.
