Scene from the future: The perfect wedding.

Every little girl has a notebook filled with all the doodles and dreams of the perfect wedding. But with today's technology I can really make all my doodles and dreams come to life :). So I hope you enjoy my rendition of the perfect wedding :D

The Perfect Ring

Wedding shower ideas: Buy a white cooking spoon for every person coming to the shower along with a black marker and then have them write their favorite recipe for a good marriage on the spoons.

He Said She Said: A game of quotes. You make a lift of quote said by the couple and the guests guess who said what :)

The Dress: (Well obviously I have to pick one but we will go down that road when the days come.)

Random Quotes and Poetry about weddings:

A Poem: The eighth wonder of the world

The Eighth Wonder of the World

By: The happily in a relationship Bri :) 

When the young lovers stop in the moment

Caught in each others gaze

There is fire that starts to burn from with in 

And love starts making a case.

On their wedding day 

When the world seems to stop spinning

As he gently lifts the veil 

And they start a new beginning.

 

When a mother looks in the eyes of her child

Those first few seconds of existence

There is a new feeling set deep in her soul

Making all things make a little more sense.

The first day their little one 

Take his first step 

And the first word comes out 

Adding more memories to the ones being kept.

When they send him off to school 

They take that first minute of quite 

To get caught in the guess 

And know that love will never give up this fight. 

Sitting on the front porch 70 years later

The little girl on his knees with her hair curled

He looks at the one who gave him such a wonderful life

And realizes Love is the eighth wonder of the world. 

     I always notice the old couples that sit together on the same side of the booth at the restaurant. Or the old man who still opens the door for his wife and she still sits in the middle of the truck. Those are the people you know married because they were in love. And that true love never dies. I love to see that sparkle still in their eyes so many years later. It just makes me happy :) I hope one day that i still hold that love when I am that old. 

 

Behind the scenes: A look into the past

      As a kid I was quick to notice that my grandpa is what you would call a pack rat. Growing up on the farm we had 7 barns full of anything and everything you could imagine and half the things you wouldn't even think of. I grew up to have the same personality. I have a big tote that I consider my "memory box." It is full of every memory I could jam pack into the box and still get the lid on. I love you sit on the floor and dump it out and just go through all the memories. There are notes from old high school flings and receipts from presents I bought people. There is even a zip lock baggy with hair from the first time I got my hair cut (weird I know, but I just cant get rid of anything!) I have every birthday card from the time I was in the 7th grade. All my old diaries are stuck in there. The time I won a trophy my my first book "How I Got My Dad' is there, next to all the posters from all the plays I have been in. Every doodle and sketch is sitting with the memorabilia from every high school filed trip. But favorite is not the notes or the pictures. What really looks down deep into all the feelings I have felt over the years is my poems.
     This isn't the best or even my favorite, but I ran across a note book filled with poetry. First I will share the quotes that are scattered on the cover. Favorite quoted can tell you a lot about a person. Especially about the time in their lives that they are going through. Here are my quotes from this time in my life: (I'm thinking its somewhere around my sophomore and junior year of high school.)
     -Why do we have two legs, two arms, and two eyes but only one heart. Because the other one is given to someone else for you to find.
     -I'll give you my heart, it's not much, but its all I have.
     -Love never fails.
     -You belong with me.
     -A kiss blown is a kiss wasted, a real kiss is a kiss tasted.
     -Guard your heart because i affects everything you do.
     -Every girl you hug is lucky because in her arms she is holding my whole world.
     -If it hurts to look back and your scared to look forward just look beside you and I'll always be there.
     -Have you ever wondered if you fell in love with the wrong guy because you never gave the right guy a chance?
     -If it's meant to be it will always find a way.
     -Distance proves just how far love will go.
     -Love is like a pen whatever is written cannot be erased.
     -One kiss can make the world stop spinning.
     -Your lips hold the reigns to my heart.
     -It's better to have loved and lost then to live with a psyco the rest of your life -GMD
     -I love you. That should be enough to get you through. Cuz I'm da bomb. -Geordi
     -A relationship is like sand. Held loosely, and it will stay in tack, but hold it tightly and it will slip through your hands. -Geordi

A poem

I can play with words 

I can even make them rhyme 

I can make nothing into something

Putting words to a mime 

I can say anything and make it seem real 

I can give purple to a tree

And orange to it's leaves

And with my words you'll believe 

I can forget what I was thinking 

And I can turn my words around
I can win an argument
Without the slightest sound
I can make the words my own
A can give sound to my words
And make my voice
go
down
I can make a movie play in your head
Or make you think of memories you'd forgotten
I can make you cry or laugh
With just a simple piece of paper

I am a poet

Scene 7: Plan A: Nope Plan B: Nope or Plan C?? Maybe!?

   Ok so we were all following my advances on the coffee shop guy and the guy from the dollar store. But for what ever reason (my lack of relationship skills) they never went anywhere. Actually, I have yet to even see either of them again. Even though I have been to the coffee shop and the dollar store on multiple occasions. My lack of activity in the romance world (or friendship for that matter,) led me to join a couple of dating sites. I even started to talk to someone from the same town as me, but he turned out a dud as well. Just as I was giving up hope yet again I stumbled upon an email from a certain someone I met online.
      The first night we facebook stalked each other and exchanged a few emails. But nothing really came up. Then Late the next night I was sitting on the couch watching late night television and my phone vibrated. He emailed me on facebook. We spent the next few hours asking every question we could think of. The questions lasted until 3am and I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I told him I was falling asleep and he said ok one more question from both of us and we will stop. I said ok and asked some stupid question and then he used his last question to ask for my number. I smiled because I should have thought of that.
     We spent the entire next day texting and had a three hour conversation that afternoon.  We decided we couldn't wait any longer. The text day was his day off and he had to meet me. He lives an 1 and a half away so it would be a drive, but he said it was worth.
     I told my grandma our plan and she freaked out. All the crime shows we watched began flashing across her mind with all the possibilities of meeting some murderer of rapest on line.  She wasn't going to let me out of the house unless we all went. I told him about all her fears and he was perfectly ok with it and he understood entirely. This meeting was beginning to look too good to be true.
    We set up to meet up at the local starbucks. Mostly so we would have a way out if he gave us a bad feeling, but partly so they could let us be alone without having to stay for lunch. I spent that entire night freaking out. I spent two hours in the shower scrubbing till my skin was raw. I blow dried my hair and lotioned up before destroying my room to find the perfect out fit.
     I woke up the next morning extra early knowing I would want to take extra time fixing my hair and doing my make up just right. My stomach was in knots the whole morning and I think my heart skipped every other beat. Finally when I looked in the mirror with a satisfied smile, we headed out the door.
    I was driving which was a perfect distraction from the butterflies dancing in my stomach. We hit every green light all the way through town and just when I thought all the signs were pointing to a great day. Red and Blue lights were flashing in front of us pulling over my uncle Jason who was driving the car in front of us. We pulled over and watched from one of the near by parking lots as the cop got off his bike and went to his window. I used this time to check my phone hoping to be the there first I was disappointing to see he was already there! A half an hour early!
     It didn't take long for the cop to get what he needed and get back on the road. We pulled back in behind him and found a spot in the near by Starbucks. By heart started beating rapidly and I second guessed even getting out of the car.
      Finally I got the courage and with a shaky hand I reached down and found the handle. I stepped out and strained my clothes and checked my hair in the mirror. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and headed toward the door. I only saw a few pictures on Facebook and I wasn't for sure exactly what I was looking for but as we opened the door and stepped inside I noticed him out of the corner of my eye. His pictures did not do him justice!
     Not sure of what to do in this situation I texted him and said I think I am looking at you lol and I watched as he checked his phone. He looked up and caught my eye and  got the first glance at the smile that I would come to love. It quickly become comfortable (A nervous sort of comfort.) He introduced himself to my family, this being the first of many times he would leave me speechless. He fit right in with my family and we all laughed and shared stories like we had known each other forever. Felling confident he wasn't an axe murderer they got up to leave us to the rest of our day.
     We sat there for a while longer before deciding to go walk around the mall, and then we got lost track of a few hours at the cafe in Barnes and Noble. We caught some lunch at the apple bees near by miss placing a couple more hours. As the hours dwindled away I begin to see him visibly relax, getting to catch a few more of those heart stopping smiles. We went and caught a movie and ended the night talking under the stars. I felt like I was talking to my best friend that I had known for years. We couldn't get enough and barely broke away to go our separate ways. Finally I was back on my way to the house the windows down, music blaring, and colors looking just a little bit brighter. I felt my phone vibrate at my hip and I answered it hearing his voice fill my ears again. He was calling me to tell me to tell me he had broken down on the side of the interstate. I pulled it around and finally pulled my car behind his. We decided it was too late into the night to really do anything so I dropped him off at a hotel near the house.
      At first we thought of this as a horrible ending to a perfect day but then we realized it would just mean we would spend one more day together. And we did just that. It was late in the day when we finally got the car loaded on the trailer he got from U-haul and I saw him off.
      We were only a part a day when we couldn't take it anymore and I took the drive to see him for a day. Spending yet another day falling for that smile that makes so few appearances.  I can't wait to see where this goes.

Behind the Scenes: Fairy Tales??

     Every little girl dreams of knights in shiny armor and a happy ever after. Girls wonder if they will ever find their romeo or fly away with their peter pan. Dreams of a perfect fairy tale ending fill the corner of every paper they write in school. We fill are heads will all these happy ending we forget the rest of the story.
      Cinderella was a slave to her evil step mother. Romeo and Juliet died. Peter Pan watched his love grow old while he stayed a child. Snow White had to live with 12 strange men. Rapunzel was trapped in a tower. Sleeping beauty was in a coma only to be awoken by a strange guy kissing her. (That's a classic case of Stockholm syndrome right there.)
       So I have definitely come to the conclusion I DO NOT want a fairy tale and I am not going to eat apples from strange women. I don't want someone to come in riding on a horse I don't need someone to come save me.
     But I also have learned that you don't get to your happy ending till you go through all the crap. You have to weed through all the bad apples, sleep off some heart breaks, go through 12 wrong ones, watch some be too immature while you grow up, see some die, get locked in your house for awhile, and do your chores before you ever  find your happy ending. But hey that happy ending is still there right. So keep your chin up its coming!

A poem: life, laughter, and love.

Have you ever felt like your past is caving in on you??

Like the walls you built to keep people out are keeping you in too??

Like you tried building a house and you forgot the door.

Now your clawing away at the walls because you don't want to be there anymore. 

I feel like I'm looking down at a prisoner trying to get out of his cage. 

But that little person down there is me clawing at the bars with rage. 

I know that I built these walls around me. 

But now I'm tired of what I see. 

I know there are scars that have their name on my heart. 

But it's time for a new start. 

These walls are too tall for me to climb and to strong for me to break. 

So what is going to take to get them to shake. 

When I'm around you, when you hold my hand.

I'm dizzy and I feel unable to stand. 

But are the scars too hard to heal. 

Is there still enough pieces to steal? 

I thought I could love again, let myself go. 

But then I realized it was just for myself I was putting on that show. 

So I'm sorry if I'm not as open as I should be. 

It's only been a few days but you are everything I've looked for for me. 

But I just don't know how to get out from behind these was keep me in. 

I'm stuck in the middle under their towering heart and I don't even know where to begin. 

A poem. Someone who:

I want some one who can look past the scars,

That line my wrist and thigh like prison bars.

I want some one who knows I have a past,

But realizes I will not come in last. 

I want some one who will not run when I am broken or down,

But sees that's I wear my tears like a crown. 

I want a guy who isn't afraid to laugh at me,

But has eyes to see when he is hurting me.

I want a guy who likes to have fun,

But can wait until all the work gets done. 

I want a guy who knows I'm delicate, 

But is confident he can get the broken pieces to fit. 

I want someone to be my best friend,

And can live with me until the end. 

I want someone who wants to see my dreams come true,

And will help me see them trough. 

Scene 6: PIck up lines.

So I joined some dating sites. Deciding that since I have NO friends and no outlet to find said friends this was a good place to start. But as I start looking through the other profiles I start realizing why some of these people are single...

Like how about a guy with the screen name Meow....or ivansito10....or monzer...or Parties&Friends...or Iggy...or Gansta...Or I really like this one Gregssexy...This one is just great too The Saint/Mr. Advice (His about me says single...of course you are thats why you are on here)

Also people who put stuff like this is their about me sections: "mover and shaker by nature"

But my favorite is all the pick up lines have sent me.

"I lost my phone number can I borrow yours?"

"I'm writing an article on the finer things in life. Can I interview you??"

"If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together."

"Do you have a bandage? I scraped me knee when I fell for you."
 

Or how about these profile pictures...

 

And I'm pretty sure this says she is a he...

 Maybe this isn't the best idea...
