… to see 27 Dresses.

I kid, I cannot come up with 27 reasons.
I saw the film this evening and even though it’s another generic feel-good (supposedly) chick flick which is completely predictable in every way, it was still a great film, and I had a good time.
It was funny, it was cute, and the cheese was on a well balanced level.
Katherine Heigl did a great job with her character. I saw her in ‘Knocked Up’ and thought she was pretty good in that too. I will however, always see her as Isabelle from Roswell (of which I have a boxset of.. where she plans her wedding with military accuracy like in 27 Dresses ).

The worst thing about the film: James Marsden’s hair! The guy is really cute… but his hair was so bad in the movie. I can’t help but make a remark on it
The best thing was… how I now feel that I could perhaps go to 27 weddings and not feel like I’m going to be a spinster forever. Yeah..I’m only 20, but I’m realistic, and I’m not stupid either

I would definitely recommend the film to all my female friends =) (and any males who secretly can’t wait to fall in love and get married).

However, at the end of the film I asked my friend whether she’d thought about her dream wedding, considering she’s been engaged once already and has been with her current boyfriend for over a year now… they have picked out kids names so I won’t be at all surprised if he proposes.
She said she’s known what dress she’s wanted since she was a little girl, and she wants her Bridesmaids dresses to be maroon, and she wants a small church wedding with family and a few friends.. although in the 14 years that I’ve known her, I never thought she was religious, so why a church?

She’s not the only one either. Several of my friends have been thinking about their wedding day for a long time. I see on TV shows about how they’ve been planning their dream wedding since they were 12 and what not… and despite my cousin getting married in under 2 months, I can’t help but note to myself how I have never, not once, thought about it. At all. Has never even crossed my mind. I can’t physically think about it. It makes me feel odd compared to everyone else, and completely empty. Or maybe I don’t view the prospect of weddings like other people do. I’ve never understood the whole planning while you’re younger thing, or making sure everything is perfect. The perfect cake, the perfect flowers, the perfect dress, perfect bridesmaids… I guess I think a wedding should be more about the prospect of the marriage rather than the day itself. A party would be fun for sure, but it seems so distant and fake compared to what it actually represents.

I shall stop here before I ramble further
