You know the more I think about it the more I realize that I really don't want any special make-up or to have my hair really "done" on my wedding day. I like to wear make-up but I don't feel this need to look 'done' on that way. Not to sound terribly vain and act like I am the prettiest thing to come along since ponies; but I don't look that scary without make-up (maybe a little peaked at times) and I might as well look myself since that is who I am. I figure I will just comb my hair and curl it slightly on the big day and call it good. It is hair, big whoop. I figure half of the appeal of my hair is that it always looks messy and has that "just had fun" look to it. As for make-up I will put on some tinted moisturizer, some pretty, but non-obtrusive eye makeup and some tinted gloss and say I am done. I will tidy but real. That is my theme.

Even the dress I am coming up with is about comfort. I just want to be really comfortable and not hike anything up or worry that everything looks just so. I realize that if I am going to enjoy myself I can't have frou-frou distractions. No trains, no big hair-dos, no cathedral length veils. None of it.

For all my girliness (which is a bit ridiculous at times....we won't go into how many purses I own and why I need fifteen different kinds of perfume) I don't need the fluff sometimes. Maybe I will get a manicure though. It will be the one time in my life that my nails look even.

Maybe I will wear flip-flops down the aisle too.
