Random Wedding Thoughts at 1AM

The fiance and I kind of wish we're the kind of people who would go for classic stuff so we can have a nice, traditional wedding like everybody else. However, we're not. He just wants to do his own thing. He doesn't want to just go with the trends or have everything tied to a certain theme or color or whatever. I am finding that I don't want florals, ribbons, beads, ruffles - frills, to put it simply. Though I like all those things in normal, everyday life, I am not feeling them for my wedding. We don't know why this is happening! We're not aiming to be rebellious or edgy or anything else like that, but we like what we like and that's it.

Our wedding right now is looking like it's going to be contemporary. It will have a bit of Japanese inspiration here, and a little rock over there. Hopefully, it's going to be modern, yet also very warm and somewhat still formal and traditional. Now how are we going to pull that off, exactly? We don't know. It's actually really difficult to choose things that aren't on-trend or colors that aren't common because we have to search high and low to find patterns and pegs that we love. [Edit: For example, gray suits are on-trend this year and black is classic, so all the stores have and all the designers are showing are gray, black, and the occasional white. Plus, the barong is the main choice in this country for formal attire, and it's what people are more used to.] I'm actually getting that feeling of idea overload, like there are so many things we want that we need to think of, but they're not going to come easily. I get frustrated at liking weird things - stuff that make people go "Huh?", "What?", and "Really?" - because then I have to think of ways to achieve them and since they're strange, it's tough.

I guess all we can do is to go by instinct here, and just hope for the best. The important thing is that we both agree with each other and make sure we love everything that we decide on. Wish us luck!
