But now, I am that age when I am hooked on everything bridal, and I'm planning my own wedding bit by bit like every girl who hasn't been proposed to!
One little detail has been tugging at my heart strings lately.
The send off!
I really haven't worked out all the fine details as of yet, but I really want a really classic Vintage Garden wedding. With hints of, well, something timey-wimey.
Maybe a Pocket Fob Watch here.
A Monet inspired TARDIS painting there.
A Fez worn by a very out there Uncle, and Jammy Dodgers at every table.
And of course, something blue for the guests to sign!
But the send off, oh, if money was no object, that would be my crowning masterpiece.
The subtle Doctor Who hints would be there, but it would not be stand out garish. Except right until the very end.
After we had said our goodbyes, after I have thrown my bouquet. And all the hub bub of women scrambling over it has finished, the lights would flicker and go down.
All of a sudden, the Vworrrp Vworrrrp Vworrrp of a TARDIS would fill up the room, and slowly flashing blue light would be visible through an open door.
"HOLD ON, HOLD ON, I'VE GOT IT."
In the dark a man would stumble into the room, and a strange device, pointed at the ceiling would activate the lights with a electronic hum and blue light.
"There! That's better!"
Can you hire actors to play the Doctor? Or I would love to have David Tennant or Matt Smith to do it. Oh wow, you can dream right?
"Weddings! How I love a good wedding!"
He walks, more like runs, over to us, and takes me by the hands and spins me around, all the while jumping about.
"Ahh! That's right, you're married! That's it! Best day of your life, walking down the aisle... Oh, your body's a battleground, there's a chemical war inside!"
He slaps James on the back, and runs over and 'borrows' the fez placed upon my Uncle's head.
"Adrenaline, acetylcholine, wham go the endorphins! You're cooking! Yeah! You're like a walking oven, a press cooker, a microwave, all churning away; the buttons reach boiling point and shazzam!"
He looks around, and straightens his fez, clearing his throat and brimming proudly.
"It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.... NOW!"
He pulls over a chair, jumps up, and pulls a world map out of his jacket, which he unfurls in a great big shake.
"Where did the lovely couple have booked to go!? .... Paris? Are you kidding? That's child's play! You want romance? What about the The Singing Towers of Darillium! So beautiful you would just CRY. Or Switzerland in the 1880's! Nothing like rolling hills and flowers and GOATS! Who doesn't like a good goat! Just bring your hiking shoes and wear a bonnet."
He studies the map for a moment, and then throws it into the air in a dramatic display.
"I'VE GOT IT!"
He throws his arms into the air.
"ATLANTIS!"
He jumps down off the chair, tosses his fez aside and pulls a pair of goggles out of his jacket.
"Nothing more romantic than an advanced civilization! Flying fish, glowy crystals, horse rides! Nothing more romantic than a horse ride either. NOW! I hope you two have said your goodbyes for now we must be off! Time waits for no one- Well, it waits for me but I am a Lord of Time and you are not so let us go!"
He suddenly stops, and pulls James aside, quiet enough but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Now.. I know that humans... tend to do.... human-y... private stuff. That sort of just... goes on... Now NO HUMAN-Y STUFF TILL WE ARE OUT OF THE TIME VORTEX! We don't NEED another Time Baby running about the universe! Just don't forget to put up a balloon or... something- NOW! We're off!"
He grabs both our hands, and pulls us into a run, through the hall, and through our guests and towards the TARDIS through the doors in the next room.
"Come along Cooper's! Into the TARDIS! Big and blue and bigger on the inside. Now here we go!"
We all bundle into the box, the Doctor gives a final wave to the guests, and shuts the door. Once again, the Vworrrp Vworrrrp Vworrrp of a TARDIS would sound, the blue lights would flash, a wind would pick up, and the doors of the room would slam shut.
Inside the shut room, James, myself, and the Doctor actor, would work on pushing the big box (on wheels of course), out of sight. So when the guests went to open the doors again to see where we have gone. The TARDIS, and ourselves, would have seem to have vanished!
And THAT, would be my send off. Given we are rabid Doctor Who fans, it would be most fitting I think!
What would you do, if you could go all out? And money was no object?
Also, since all these pictures are from Pintrest, I'm linking up with Tina Gray!

Hahahaha :) You never know, could one day happen!
Wow, sounds very impressive.
Work on it Brittonie!
MY husband's (my too) niece just got married and how a bit of vintage feel to it, home made cloth napkins, tea cup candles, vintage car to leave it, and many other quaint touches.
