When I was little I would accompany my mother to the grocery and I would grab a bridal magazine and look through the dresses. I would pick about 5 that I liked and I would decide that the rest were ridiculous.

The dress was about as far as my imagination would go. I never really thought about anything else. I never thought about the details (like my lipstick matching the flowers).

Even as we planned my mom's wedding this summer I never really bothered or cared to secretly plan my own.When she threw the bouquet I stood as far as I could.

However when our president danced At Last by Etta James with his wife on inauguration day I knew that would be the song.

I don't know if I'll ever get married or if I even really think it's important that I do.

But if I do decide to take the plunge Etta will be my girl.

If only the groom could be as smart and handsome as our 44th president.
