Well, to be honest, that felt a little tacked-on to me. Isn't it a bit like saying, "No offense!" after insulting someone?

Yes to the hair dye bit! I'm so sick of this now, I think I'll just stare at those people as blankly as people stare at me when I talk about my plans and stop wasting my time defending my fuchsia hair.

haha, I can definitely relate to the "oh, okay…" response, especially when it's accompanied by a confused stare

Haha, I had a friend get married recently and she tanned so that she didn't look ghastly white in her dress. I'm a redhead and she was so concerned about my future wedding dress color, but her solution was "to wear off-white so you don't look as pale". How about a color that actually flatters me instead??

…you decide on delicious pizza and wings for reception food instead of chicken marsiella and steak.
…you do the legal stuff, then get wedding-ed.
…the Caribbean is the last place you would honeymoon. You'd rather discover Macchu Pichhu, the Galapagos, Eastern Europe….

PS–LOVED the point about the wedding colors. That's the first question everyone asks me, and I just reply "blue?" after a minute. I am sure something will be blue.

When you mention your dress, and people gasp "But what about your tattoos?" and you reply "I know, right? I better hurry up and get them finished!"

When they ask "You're going to dye your hair, right?" and you reply "Yes of course! The back will be jet black, and my bangs will be neon red…"

"..you ask a bride-to-be what color her dress is and she says, "Like, do you mean ivory vs. white?" and you remember not everyone considers red/purple/rainbow/polka-dotted dresses for their wedding day."

My maid of honor did this to me when I said I didn't want to wear white. Her reply was basically, 'It's OK, you can wear an ivory dress =)'. It's like…well not a huge difference there, it's like the difference between crimson and scarlet.

I really don't get the "what are your colors" one… O.o
