These are all trivial points. You see, I got sick of hearing/reading/seeing photos of/thinking about other people's weddings. So, rather than sit on the sidelines and wait til I get my turn in 2045, when I fall in love and marry a 3 time divorcee I meet at Picadilly Cafeteria..I've decided I am just going to plan everything now, and be super prepared. It's going to be a magical night.
Location
Who doesn't love GRITS? Otherwise known as - the scene of my awkward high school reunions where most people either a) don't remember me, b) refer to me as "hey girl" or c) ignore me..I can't imagine a more perfect location for my wedding. And, the beauty of it is that I could have the ceremony itself at F&Ms, and then transition to GRITS for the party after. All Class.
Music
After scouring the interwebs high and low, I think I finally found the perfect group to both a) serenade me down the aisle and b) keep the party going all night long. I submit to you, the youngstunnas (one word). While they had no musical clips on their website (only a confusing slideshow of childhood pictures accompanied by the musical stylings of Drake)...their ambition, drive and determination came through in their...mission statement.
"the Youngstunnas are two cousion who sahre the same talents and dreams. One of those cousions are colby aka Young Co i sing ,rap ,and the songwriter not for all songs though. The other cousion is Anthony aka Lil Ant he is the rapper. we are starting to make some songs and waiting for our big break."
And I hope my wedding can be that break. Magical.
The Dress
I. LOVE. THIS. DRESS. First of all - it is just SO figure flattering. I mean, any bride, any size, any shape is just going to look like a princess in such a well designed piece. Also, it is very adaptable to whatever the wedding night may bring. My husband is being lame and wanting to go back to our hotel room? I can just rip the back piece off, and I'm ready to hit Utopia on Bourbon Street with my ladiez.
The Groom's Tux
When I see this look - it takes my breath away. This look just screams "Contemporary Don Draper." The man who wears this tux is rich, sophisticated, educated, worldly. While it is highly unlikely that my future husband will fulfill even one of those descriptors (let alone all 4), when I see him as I walk down the aisle - I will forget all about how he is marrying me for a green card and/or the $300 in my checking account.
The Food
Now - I know what you're thinking. You're thinking - "Lil Layne - this is such a classy wedding, why are you going to cater your wedding with fast food?" I am here to let you in on a little secret: you put those chicken pieces on silver plates, and people will think Emeril Lagassee himself cooked it. How do I know this? One time when I brought college friends back to Mardi Gras, I took them to Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits (circa 5:30am in the French Quarter) and they could not get enough of the chicken that they were literally sucking the marrow out of the bones. Truth. The homeless man eyeing us enviously as they were talking about the deliciousness of the chicken can attest to it.
All in all, I hope you will be there to celebrate my special day. Read more
