Viva la Vida

As I was internet browsing today, I came across a really interesting set of pictures from a wedding that really inspired me. Now you might be thinking, how could wedding pictures be that interesting? well... take a look.









This got me thinking.. do people who have traditional, big, expensive weddings do it because they actually like all that stuff or just because that is what is normal these days. Do people really like paying $5000 on seat covers, and riding in a big limo, and wearing a dress that has a 10 foot train? Sure, there may be some girls that really like that stuff. But I think most people just do it because.. well, that's what a wedding "should be" these days. When brides say, "well i have to get the best seat covers!" Do you really have to? Is someone forcing you to by a cover for a chair for people to put their butts on for an hour when they could just as easily just sit on the chair itself? Why not save the thousands of dollars and get a great house or have a great honeymoon?
I don't think this just applies for weddings, but for most things around us these days. People just do something because everyone else is doing it, even if they don't really like it. Do all girls really want to join a sororiety? Do all guys really like sperrys? I feel like people have lost their individuality. Everyone just looks like a big blob, and maybe that's why people that are "creative," are seen as different or weird. People think they are just like everyone else and like the same things as everyone else because that is what they made themselves think. I think more people need to break out of the group and be individuals.
So when I see people like this, who go outside the norm and do something they really like, something fun, I think it is awesome. The world needs more people like this, or soon enough everyone is going to be the same on the outisde, even if that isn't how they really are on the inside. These people expressed themselves, they were creative, and they definitely have a memorable day.
