royal wedding.

oh i know i'm kinda late discussing this issue right now
but that's not exactly what i'm trying to discuss here

when william&kate held their ROYAL WEDDING last time, my twitter timeline was flooded with people cheering for them and admiring their wedding blah blah whatsoever
okay so what?

they aren't my relatives
i only know them as people, portrayed in media
that's all

so what makes people are so crazy about it?
esp. women

okay so we are happy for them, that should be enough
no need all fancy dreams of princess-like wedding
fairy tale whatsoever

really?
people, really?
women, really?

do we need all that?

in my point of view and opinion, their wedding is merely just a normal humble wedding like any other wedding celebration/reception in anywhere in this world
what makes it so ROYAL is merely how people see that they come from royal family, moreover it is all over the media
that's all

see how they celebrate their wedding, from church to "home"?
what makes them different is only the term "royal" and their so called "unusual" home

to look beyond it, imagine, being kate, you have to prepare everything one year in advance
etiquette lesson, a must DIET, everything must be perfect
you can't do this, that easily
you have to act well
you have to "fake" everything
HOW'S THAT SOUND?

if you really is a fan of dreamy royal wedding, go ahead try it

for me, in my own opinion, my dream wedding isn't anything near that ideal

wedding is only once in my entire life
being with people i love the most and who love me so much
being with a man of my life
and i want it to be so special

that i don't have to change myself nor my identity

that's absurd and crazy!

the context of what's royal, what's in, what's cool, and what's so great in our mind is only shaped by society and media
we are shaped by it
thus we see everything according to what society/media told us

admit it

there is no fairytale in this real world
except in movies and books and in your dream
it is okay to dream
it is okay to plan your wedding as close as fairytale like
but to be so nuts about the royal wedding as if it was part of your life?
oh puhlease... exaggerated and overrated!

not that i envy, why would i do that?
not a slight feeling
i'm happy for them but that's all

just because it looks tremendously amazing and beautiful in the surface, it does not appear to be that splendid in reality
well i guess we have to start appreciate what we have in the first place
i bet even our president's son's wedding wouldn't affect people so much
funny, when we should really appreciate it first then the world will start to appreciate us

it comes back to the fact that most people i know, they aren't proud of being INDONESIAN
are you?
