10 Amazing Wedding Theme Ideas

Weddings are one of the most common topics for many women today, mostly among 20-somethings. I began experiencing "wedding fever" my senior year of college. I have attended two weddings in the past four years -- my sister's and my brother's -- and will be attending a friend's in September. I was my sister's maid-of-honor and I'm a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding. I have come to love the idea of planning and executing these ceremonies, because weddings are the events where special memories are created. I also enjoy examining themed weddings and seeing the ideas that people come up with for specific themes.

1. Comic Book

This is one theme that is dedicated to nerds. I have seen so many weddings that revolve around DC and Marvel, and they always look awesome. Some ideas I have seen include having the groomsmen wear superhero shirts underneath their suits, having a Batman officiant, wedding cake split in half to depict half traditional/half nerdy, and having Star Wars invitations.

2. Beach

This theme is so romantic. Party favors tend to be messages in bottles, flip-flops are provided for guests to walk on the sand, candles line the aisle, and guests can dress more casually.

3. Book

For this category, a lot of couples will choose a specific book to have as their theme, such as "Gatsby." This would include flapper-styled bridesmaid dresses and very formal decorations, and possibly 20's-30's music for the reception. That's just one example. Another could be Harry Potter, which would include house colors and wands.

4. Outdoor

Outdoor weddings often involve tents for the reception and lights being strung up for night-time festivities. Outdoor weddings are probably my favorite, since there's so much potential and free reign for decorating.

5. Vintage

These types of weddings usually depict more traditional weddings. The most obvious aspect that will be vintage is the bride's dress. She will wear something borrowed or designed to portray a certain time period.

6. Classic

This is also a traditional kind of wedding, but will most likely have traditional vows, a sit-down dinner with three courses, and specific dances that follow the meal.

7. Halloween

This is a fun kind of wedding because guests are encouraged to dress up in costumes for the ceremony. There will be pumpkins, skulls, spider webs and other Halloween paraphernalia. The bride's colors may also reflect the holiday, which include orange, black and purple.

8. Cosplay

This is also a fun kind of ceremony. Guests are usually asked to cosplay along with the bridal party, but that's not always the case. Sometimes it's just for the bride and groom, and it can go in many different directions: video games, comics, movies, TV shows, etc.

9. Renaissance

I got this particular idea from "Gilmore Girls" when Liz and TJ get married in Stars Hollow. They had a court jester as the flower girl, a troubadour/minstrel officiant, and they planted a ceremonial sword before reciting their vows. It was very romantic.

10. The Hobbit/Legend of Zelda

This is my favorite idea because it's my own wedding creation; a combination of The Hobbit and Legend of Zelda. I will walk down the aisle barefoot and have a flower wreath instead of a veil, the bride and groom will carry swords, and there will be music from both themes. The ceremony will be outside and the reception will be towards the evening.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
