I was so happy that we were doing things that felt like us and not just the same old cookie-cutter wedding stuff that we had seen throughout our twenties.It felt amazing.Until we realized that everyone else was doing it,too.Now,I see hundreds of weddings on Style Me Pretty and Offbeat Bride that look,well,like mine will,right down to having our friend officiate Mermaid Prom Dresses 2016 and walking down the aisle to an indie song.And I started to feel like I was actually exactly on-trend,un-original,and that I had secretly ripped off someone else's wedding.And I started to worry that I wasn't being authentic.I was just doing stuff I liked,wasn't I? But mostly,I was worried people would notice.I was worried that our friends would see our wedding and shake their heads at our vintage chic,super trendy wedding.That they would gag at yet another craft paper invitation,sigh at another centerpiece made of old books,lanterns,and mercury glass candle holders,and shake their heads at our photo booth mustaches.And then I saved myself.Here's the thing. who cares? Honestly,I bought all kinds of stuff that I loved.And I really loved it.I had options.I could have purchased anything.I picked the ones that felt right,that made me Cheap Prom Dresses Online smile,that made me excited to put together a centerpiece,and I am going to own the shit out of all of it.Because we picked it all out,and we love it.And I'm the girl who doesn't care what other people think,right? So why do I care if they think I'm boring? I don't need to be original for the sake of it.I only need to be me.And even if there are hundreds of weddings like mine this year. how many are our friends going to go to.Two? Three? So,in their lifetime,they'll probably go to two weddings out of hundreds that look like mine.Those are pretty good odds and I can live with it.I will own my wedding and love my wedding,right down to the kraft paper table numbers and programs that look like actual books.At the end of the day,I still get to go home with my partner.And that's all that matters.Oh lord.The internet has its panties in a wad www.promdresses2016.us.com with yet another OMG SHOCKING!! wedding trend.This time it's "Morning after" photos,where a photographer comes to the wedding suite the morning after the wedding and takes pictures of you and your honey looking all sexy with your fuck-nest hair and tousled sheets.It's a cute enough concept (especially if you're poly and need some sexy shots for your couples-seeking personals ad) but bitches,we need to talk: this is not actually a trend.So,I'm a wedding blogger.Watching wedding trends is my job.
