    Strange, and Possibly True...

    Titanic.jpg There I was, perusing a wedding Web site's list of FAQs, when I came across the question, "How do I choose a theme for my wedding?" The answer suggested that you look at movie titles for theme ideas, and the three most popular movie-title themes (according to these guys) are "Somewhere in Time", "Titanic" and "Beauty and the Beast." "Somewhere in Time" I can understand. The title is meaningful, the costuming would lend itself beautifully to wedding attire and the music is very moving. I can almost see the validity of choosing "Beauty and the Beast" as a theme, though the title itself appears to be a slap in the face to the groom--or (gasp!) maybe even the bride. What I don't understand is why anyone would base her wedding plans and decor on a movie about a sinking ship! Granted, "Titanic" included a great (though fictional) love story, and wedding attire based on the period would certainly be elegant (unless, of course, you dress the wedding party in clothes worn by folks in steerage rather than first class...) But still--it's a sinking ship! How would your invitations read? "Join us as we go down...the aisle?" Would the wedding party wear life vests over their dresses and tuxes? Would a string quartet play "Nearer My God to Thee" as you march down the aisle? I still can't fathom it (pun definitely intended!)I don't know about you, but if there's any truth to the concept of "self-fulfilling prophecy", I'd be steering clear of "Titanic" as my wedding theme.
