Anne: Nice Day For A White Wedding

The dream begins with me in a building that resembles my old high school library. There are minimal bookshelves that are just tall enough to reach my shoulder. The library has a beige carpet and beige walls. There is a little carpeted step that leads to a bunch of yellow-rimmed stools. I am with my mom and Michelle. I text Adam and tell him that today is the day that we should get married. He completely agrees and asks me where we should meet and what time. I tell him that we should meet up at 6 PM at "the lake house." I tell my mom and she and my dad both think it is a great idea. I know I only have a few hours to get this whole wedding together. My mom and I go to Walmart to find a wedding dress. Obviously they have none to choose from. I settle on a Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) Halloween Costume. My mom finds a pair of yellow gloves and red heels for me to wear. I text my best friend V.L. when she will be in town again. She responds that it won't be until Thanksgiving. I try to think of who my third bridesmaid will be. I text my co-worker B.O. and ask if she wants to be my bridesmaid. She calls me and excitedly agrees.

The dream cuts to me at the lake house in my Belle ballgown costume. The lake house looks like a small cottage. The outdoor scenery has a tiny pond surrounded by a parking lot. The inside is gorgeous. There is a navy blue runner that goes from the front screen door to the end of the hallway. The bridesmaids and I are lined up by two big wooden doors. There is a mirror hanging on the wall opposite of the doors with a mahogany table under the mirror. There is a large clear, glass vase filled with white roses and lilies on the table. Red roses are scattered around a big open room that has blue couches. Adam and I are texting excitedly about the day. My grandfather shows up and has invited my entire family to attend. Aggravated, I inform Adam about this stressful situation. He understands and asks if we should postpone. I text him back and tell him we should wait until the weekend that way we have enough time to plan everything.

 

From start to finish this dream was chaotic. I woke up to Adam returning home from work in the morning and was somewhat relieved that this was a dream. I would never want my wedding to be planned over text in a few hours!
