Hello there!

I am really tired recently due to the juggling of both work and dance. However, I am trying to get myself more awake, so bear with me today.

Have you ever wondered how your wedding will go? What dress you will wear, and what flowers you will use for your bouquet? I have, because I have OCD and I hate if anything don't end up perfect. I actually want to plan my own wedding, instead of hiring a wedding planner. Trust me, it's difficult to convey your thoughts to others.

However, I am sure that a few years down the road, what I picture my wedding to be now will be different. I still want to write it down, and read back on my younger days a few years down. I am a very weird person though, so I have very weird requests for my wedding.

To the Joanna who may be 29 or 35 and still single ((ready to mingle)), please try to make your wedding the way we planned it to be when we were 19. You'd never regret it, it's beautiful in our minds. Yes, you'd remember it. Trust me, you'd remember.

#01: Baby Breaths with Roses


Now, it's no surprise that I'm a flower person. I absolutely adore anything with flowers, and the flowers for my bouquet has to be perfect. I hate the idea of having lousy flowers at my wedding, a day where I am entitled to put as much flowers as I want. I actually thought of having a greek-style wedding before, since it's kind of rustic and also very natural. However, I realised how my OCD will kill me at the messy arrangements so I gave up on that thought.

For my bouquet, I'd love fresh red roses surrounded by white baby breaths. Contrary to popular belief, I do not like pink roses. I love the colour pink, but not on my roses. I adore dark red roses, the ones the colour of wine or velvet. Bright roses are just not my thing. The contrast between the dark red and the white will make for a beautiful bouquet.


I also love baby breaths because they go well with anything - food or decorations. They are the perfect complimentary items, and they would make a lovely addition to my bouquet.

Yes, my favourite flowers are Cherry Blossoms. However, it is not feasible to use them for my bouquet, and they don't look that good as bouquet anyway. They could, though, be used as decorations around the place. I'm still exploring that thought for now.

But yes, baby breaths with roses.

#02: Garden Wedding


Many overly-romantic people who have read too many a Nicholas Sparks novel will tell you that a beach wedding is romantic. Either that, or they'd go for a complete church wedding. Since I am very much a flower person, I'd prefer a garden wedding.

It doesn't have to be a huge park or anything, but I love the idea of laying white sheets on the fresh grass and placing white chairs on them. A little stage could be set up at the front for the officiating person, and a red carpet could be laid in the middle as the aisle I'd walk down.

My chairs have to either be light-brown or white, there is no compromise in this. If it was white, it should be covered with white sheets, like the ones you have at wedding dinners. A white cloth, as I mentioned, will be laid on the grass to mark out the areas used for the wedding.

I was considering the idea of an arch, but realised how much of a fairytale it will look like, and gave up on that thought.

Flowers should be placed at the back of every chair as decorations, and a rose on each chair. Therefore, each attendee will be given a rose. Of course, I'll get the best smelling insect repellent to repel the mosquitoes. I am not cruel. I did picture the main area to be set under a huge tree at the side, so we'd get some shade anyway.


The entire area used should be marked out with a picket fence, white of course. It could be light-brown too, I don't actually know. The cocktail reception before the wedding should be using cocktail tables that are tied with white clothes. Flowers should be stuck at the bow that is used to keep the sheets together.

Flowers should be decorated around the picket fence as well, and rose petals should be laid on the red carpet.


I know, it sounds like a lot of flowers. I love flowers, so it's understandable.

#03: A short dress


I'm not a big fan of those huge, puffy dress that makes you look fat. Don't get me wrong, because I absolutely adore the Victorian days. However, I'd prefer to be more comfortable on my wedding.

My dress should be a tube dress that is full white (or maybe a tint of champagne gold). It will be short in the front, and long at the back. It will touch the floor just a bit at the back, and has a two-layered frill. The outside layer will be translucent, of course. The front will reach slightly above my knee, so I can show off my beautiful wedding shoes.


For my wedding shoes, I'd appreciate a little heel or flats. It will be designed like a ballet shoe, with strings to act as ribbons that lead up to my knee. Since the front of my dress will reach above my knee, it will be a perfect match. My shoes can have a light tint of baby pink.

The hair has to be perfect. P-E-R-F-E-C-T. 


I'm thinking of a slight twist for my fringe that will lead down to the back from the sides. It will start from the middle and go to both sides, and then downwards. The rest of my hair will be let down, and I will give the bottom part a slight curl. My hair has to be either light-brown that shines under the sun, or blonde that isn't too bright (so it's quite pastel blonde).

A flower crown is a definite yes for my veil, with little colourful flowers lined across the crown. The veil has to be a long and thin one, with only one translucent layer. It will be tied to the flower crown, and has to be pure white. There is no compromise in this.

I should be wearing a beautiful ring, with no bracelets. I don't want arm candies on my wedding, contrary to what I wear on normal days. However, I'd love to have a beautiful necklace on my wedding day - preferably my cross. It has been with me all my life, and should take me through my wedding as well. I thank the Lord for being by me, in happiness and in sadness.

#04: Natural make-up?


I won't say I don't want to put make-up, but I don't want thick make-up either. I'm best when I look natural, that's true. My nails will be painted with white and pink and gold nail polishes. It has to be messy and in an unpredictable pattern; However, it has to be full colour. I have to pick the colours of my own, the tint and the thickness.

For my face, I'd go for a light make-up. Since I have full brows, I just have to put some colour into it to fit my hair colour. Preferably a light-brown? It shouldn't be too light either, else it'd look unnatural. My lips, very importantly, should be a light pink/nude tint. I don't like red lip stick on myself because I'm too tanned for it. A light gloss with some white eyeshadow on the middle portion to make it look natural. It could be a light pink either, so that it will look more natural.

I'd love to have green eyes, but I know I'm Asian so let's just stick to natural eye colours. My blush needs to be a light pink, and my eye shadow should only have nude colours and white. Not the thick cream ones, the powder ones. My foundation has to be liquid though, I hate powder foundation.

My eye-liner will be thin, with a slight wing at the tip. It shouldn't be thick, because I'm going for a natural look. I hate bronzer, because I think it makes my nose look oily. However, it will be good to make my cheekbones and jawline sharper.

I do hope to be skinnier by my wedding though, 48kg is a very good weight. No, I'm not revealing my weight now. Get out.

#05: Food & Cocktail


I'm a very fussy eater, since I hate vegetables and haven't tried most of the ocean animals that are edible. Heck, I don't even eat sharks fin. Not that I hate it, I just disliked the look of it and never tried it. I also don't eat vinegar, because I absolutely hate the smell.

I'd serve chicken soup if I could, cream if possible. Cream of chicken is heaven, and have you tried it for supper? It's amazing supper material. ((ok I know I'm fat)) The dishes will have to be meal-filled, with maybe 1 vegetables. Don't bother with prawns, they are messy to eat and even messier to clear. Mushrooms have a bad smell and they look bad, so that's a no.


I love steamed fish, and I'd appreciate chicken meat too. The dessert should be something with strawberries, but no pudding. I hate pudding, because they are a weird knock-off of jelly. The vegetables shouldn't be stalk, but leafy kind. I don't eat it, but I'll make sure that it looks good at least.

For the cocktail reception, red wine will be served. Whiskey is a yes, but no to beer for the cocktail. I don't want the beer smell lingering around. Coke, Orange Juice and Apple juice will be served. Yes, there will be plain water as well. I'd choose my own Whiskey though, since I'm so particular about alcohol. Yes, there will be no white wine because it tastes disgusting.

#06: Not too many 姐妹s


Now, picking 姐妹s is like telling your friends which ones you like more and which ones you like less. If you had 姐妹s the way I do with my batch, you couldn't choose. I couldn't use all of them either, so I pray that they'd get married before me.

I don't believe in being a 姐妹 if you're married, because they usually have to be paired with a brother and it sucks for your husband to be watching that scene. Since I'll only get married after 30, I can predict which friends will be out of the race by then.

I'd like to have half a dozen of 姐妹s or 5 actually. I will mix and match them around, with friends from different groups. I do hope the same for my husband, whoever he may be, as well.

There is no way I'm getting children to be the flower girl/ring boy since I hate children. Therefore, I'll just go for a cute teenager. It will work, trust me. I hate children, and I hate to have their parents hold them behind my red carpet before they march down. It will ruin my perfect wedding, since children can rarely walk in a straight line as instructed,

My 姐妹s will have to wear a champagne gold with light pink dress - a halter neck style the one Marilyn Monroe wears. It will be flare so that they'd look cuter. They will be wearing white heels to match the look, and will have hair similar to mine. A ribbon has to be tied to the back, to make them look absolutely adorable.

Therefore, my 姐妹s have to have long hair.



They should each be holding a small bouquet of baby breaths with roses; with light make-up like mine. Since they are going to be in pictures with me, they should look natural as well.

#07: A perfect Honeymoon.


Every girl wants to have the perfect Honeymoon, because it's the most romantic holiday of your life. It's better than any holiday you will have, and it will be filled with so much love.

Since it's like this, I'd choose the place I love the most in the world for my Honeymoon. Yes, my husband will have to compromise for this - New York.

We'd watch Broadway shows at night, and visit Times Square. Maybe we'll take a walk in Central Park, and visit the Empire State Building! I love New York, so I'd want to share the place I love the most with the person I love the most. Now, wouldn't that be perfect?

The Maldives are good, and so is Venice. I'd love Paris, or Rome, but my ideal choice is still New York. Hands down. Maybe a side trip to another state?


//

Now, I've described my perfect wedding. I can picture it in my head, all the details and the ideal locations. However, I know things will definitely change years down the road. I still hope that the Joanna years down the road will still picture the wedding the same way I do now.

One of the favourite scenes in the entire series, where Britana gets married finally, and Klaine spontaneously tie the knot as well. With Artie and Mercedes's voice to accompany, it was indeed a beautiful rendition of the song. Love love love this.
