As a 90s baby, I remember daydreaming and staying up all night thinking about what my future wedding will be like. Wondering who I would marry?

Dressing up and using my imagination, I wonder what my 6-year-old self would say about the way our future has played out. I bet we would share thoughts and ideas that I have forgotten when I was younger.

A 90s baby's dream wedding VS our dream wedding's now, let's see how it plays out—

The ultimate dream wedding as a 90s baby:

First slow dance song you thought as a 90s baby:

"I'll Be" by Edwin McCain

Okay let's be real, we have all had this thought when we were younger. AND YOU KNOW YOU SLOW DANCED BY YOURSELF TO IT TOO.

You and your friends had a wedding ceremony

Sometimes you played it with your AKA imaginary friend. Don't lie. We all have been there.

The "Ring Pop" was your engagement ring

And that is what you always have wanted.

You played "MASH" to decide your fate

You know exactly what I'm talking about. It told you who you were going to marry, how many kids you were going to have, what type of house you were going to live in, blah blah blah, IT WAS FUN. And you secretly wished that some of the answers you got would come true...

You wanted a wedding just like your parents' wedding

Looking through pictures and albums, you knew you wanted to have a wedding and look just like how your mom did because let's face it, OUR MOMS WERE BEAUTIFUL. Let me take that back, they are STILL BEAUTIFUL!

You tried your mom's wedding dress on and veil

Only when she wasn't looking. This is when you knew, you wanted to wear this same dress, the same shoes and the same veil for your wedding day one day. Not only did you use your mom's dress, you used her make up too. Man, didn't you look beautiful with that heavy, bright red lipstick and blue eye shadow.

The secret is out—you wanted to marry you elementary school crush

You know you did. You wanted to date them and continue to do so they would be your high school sweetheart that you saw in the movies.

The ultimate dream wedding NOW:

First slow dance song for your dream wedding now:

"Grow Old" - Florida Georgia Line

"Mine Would Be You" - Blake Shelton

"Mean To Me" - Brett Eldredge

"From The Ground Up" - Dan + Shay

"Grave" - Thomas Rhett

Should I go on?!?!? We know that these are few of the songs that will make us bawl like a baby at our dream wedding now.

You have a Pinterest board FOR. EVERYTHING.

Color themes for weddings, DIY decorations, invitation cards, take home thank-you gifts, you name it. You have everything little thing down to detail on that board of yours. Thank God for Pinterest.

You STILL want to have a wedding like your parents

Because it is the kind of love you grew up knowing and wanting for yourself with a significant other.

For your dream wedding now, you actually want a ring.

Yeah, Ring Pops are good and yummy and all, but you want someone to confess their love to you with a beautiful jewel that you'd get to keep forever on your ring finger. A daily reminder that you mean so much to that one person who wants to spend their whole life WITH YOU.

Talking about rings, you know you have ANOTHER Pinterest board for that too.

Every cut, every design you like is on that board.

WHO AND WHO IS GOING TO BE YOUR BRIDESMAIDS?!

You still have no idea who they will be because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Especially who is going to be your Maid-of-Honor.

You already have an idea of what your wedding dress is going to look like.

And IT. IS. BEAUTIFUL.


Your 90s baby self didn't have to worry about anything, no future expenses, who you were going to marry and when it was going to happen.

But your dream wedding now you are like, "HOW AM I GOING TO AFFORD EVERYTHING?!?!" Your dress is going to be quadrillion dollars. You don't even want to know what your expenses will be.

But we have to remember this is going to be the MOST important day of our lives. You know your 90s baby self and yourself now will be happy with whatever your wedding will turn out to be. Ultimate dream wedding or not, it will be perfect.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
