I am absolutely in LOVE with these colors. We will probably end up with blues and greens of some sort.

If I stick with my current fella, we'd go with Vandal Silver and Vandal Gold since we're alumni. At least it wouldn't be Bluorange themed, barf.

I'm set that I'm wearing my bunad, the yet to be determined Mr. VandalSquirrel can wear something from his ethnic background, or a tux, or something we agree upon, and I refuse fondant, so it is either marzipan covered cake (yum!) and/or a kransekake. I really lucked out as I can wear my headpiece as my veil and change into the married woman's one at the reception, or rock the bridal crown. I may do flowers, but it would be small. My great grandmother has roses (red and yellow ) with a fern in her picture, so I may do the same. How fortunate I can work the Alpha Gam angle in like that.

After planning a wedding that thankfully never happened, this is way easier.

My only real thoughts about my own wedding for years have been that I want navy blue and white as (some of) my colors. And I don't think that any PSU student or grad would think that's that weird, either.

And according to this quote, I am correct in my thinking, haha. My third supposed color is deep purple right now, partly because of my sorority but mostly because I love purple. I am also thinking some black and grey/silver thrown in. Just so I have a palette to work with, of course. This is all of course very hypothetical because I'm not engaged and probably won't be for awhile, but it is fun to think about.
