It’s obviously relieving and exciting to eventually have our wedding date set (mid July 2009, but I can’t reveal the date here… yet). However, it’s also such a pain that, again, my family (or my parents, to be exact) always think that my perspective of a simple, ethical wedding is stupid and weird (well, they never mention the words ‘stupid’ and ‘weird’, yet their responses express that). And to make things even worse (to me, at least), Mr. H hasn’t been giving any significant support in backing me up in front of my parents. I hate him for that sometimes, really.

In regards to outfits, for example, it’s a common knowledge in my country that brides and grooms, on their wedding day, ‘have to’ change different clothes at least twice (once for the ceremony and once for the reception—but numerous couples even change their outfits three times on the reception alone). I have suggested my parents (or in this case, my stepmom, as she is ‘the boss’ now in holding our wedding) every simple idea I have regarding to wedding outfit, but each one is always responded skeptically. Not to mention my simple consideration on the projected décor, etc, etc. Rejected, rejected, rejected. As if my brain contained only foolish thoughts, and none of brilliant ones had ever existed.

The result so far? I spent at least two days and two nights weeping alone, thinking that no one seems care enough about what I have in mind. And it’s a kind of torture, realizing that I won’t have a really meaningful wedding I’ve been dreaming of (well, except for the fact that I’m marrying the man I love, who, unfortunately, seems like he has given up on my family’s ‘conventional’ ideas).

But as many environmentalists say, going a little bit green is better than not at all. A wedding isn’t just about outfits and décor. I still have other things to fight for relating to my wedding. It’s MY wedding, anyway. So yes, I’m not giving up. If in the end, the truth speaks differently, at least I’ll have a good sleep, knowing that I have pulled my butt off.
