Not All Who Wander Are Lost

I’m a reader, a bit of a writer, a huge travel junkie and I like to think of myself as a free spirit. I’m certainly a day-dreamer and a fanatical romantic to my very core (wedding planning was quite possibly designed specifically for moi.) This impromptu personal profile does actually have a point. Here it is:

I want to design and execute a funky, bohemian, GYPSY- inspired wedding. I don’t mean an actual Gypsy/Traveler wedding a la TLC…

>>Though, do not get me wrong, I’d LOVE to participate in one of those too. Just to say I did. I also have mad respect for their, and ANY, culture. <<

…But a celebration based on romanticized visions of gypsy caravans of old. The kind I’ve read about in my books. The kind that do not, and probably never did, exist. Sure, this style has been done, but I want to do it again. So shoot me.

It may just come from my intense love of Moulin Rouge and its "Bohemian Revolution." Or just my intense love of Ewan McGregor (NAME DROP--- I saw him perform live {in the flesh} while I lived in London. He was a splendid Iago in the West End production of Othello. I was literally like 10 feet away from him. DROOL.) Who knows? Maybe I just have a gypsy soul.

In conclusion, I dare {make that a triple dog dare} someone to step forward and let me have my way with their gypsy/bohemian/romantic soiree.

Use this as inspiration: (From the film Moulin Rouge)

 Christian: I can't write for the Moulin Rouge.
Toulouse-Lautrec: But why not?
Christian: I'm not even sure I am a real bohemian revolutionary!
Toulouse-Lautrec: What? Don't you believe in freedom?
Christian: Well, of course I do...
Toulouse-Lautrec: Beauty?
Christian: Yes.
Toulouse-Lautrec: Truth?
Christian:: Yes.
Toulouse-Lautrec: Love?
Christian: Love? Above all things I believe in love! Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!
Toulouse-Lautrec: See? You can't fool us! We're The Children of the Revolution, we can't be fooled!

 And here is MY inspiration.
