Did you dream about your wedding as a child? Tell us about it, and what your prince (or princess!) charming was supposed to be like. Did you find him/her? Do you even want to now?
This is a 1 day contest that runs until 11:59 p.m. tonight. Winners will be announced Sunday
I was O.C. even as a child — I detailed not only what everyone would wear to the wedding, but marriage and kids and grandchildren. Prince Charming then only had the vaguest attributes of Daniel Radcliffe, when we were both 11-year-olds, haha.
Ah, I’ve met someone, he is so not Prince Charming, and definitely not Daniel Radcliffe, but I love him just fine. :]
oh no as a child I was a strange girl. no marriage no children I was going to be a lawyer and put bad people in prison lol and no I’m no lawyer I have 3 kids and I don’t think it turned out so bad

I don’t remember pretending to have a wedding. We played house where we had babies and animals.
Pretty sure I would have a lovely gown, plenty of guest and I would marry a real prince…yeah, did not find that real prince or that castle. And now I only would like to marry go wear a gown lol
Some of my fav authors all in one spot. Great giveaway.
And yes, I found my prince charming and of course as a little girl and girl in h.s. dreamed about him.
I did have my dream wedding – it was beautiful plus I got proposed to on a horse drawn carriage – very Cinderella-like

Yes, I had a nice wedding planned and my Prince Charming was just a nice man, who suited me. Unfortunately, I have not met him.

When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a detective (loved those mystery books) not a wife/mother. Life had other plans!
I don’t think I ever dreamed about my wedding as a child. It was more about jobs I wanted to have and having kids.
As a child I dreamed of a cinderella wedding with the puffy dress, windswept curls topped off with a brilliant and glittering tiara! I want the classical chruch setting with a park across the street with a gazebo for picture taking.
All grown up now, I just want a simple beach wedding with a nice flowy gown (I still want the windswept curls! lol) and my close friends and a FEW family memebers (we’re not exactly the brady bunch).
As for prince charming himself, at first he was just a faceless figure (a placeholder-because the wedding wasn’t about him ofcourse! so the details I concentrated on as a child were the colors and decoration.) But now, he is a combination of delicious looks and irresitble character. He has honor and a sense of responsibility for those who can’t stick up for themselves. Also, he is the guy who will treat me with care, be over-protective and growl when other men look at me, and bring me down a peg when I get a big head. The ultimate cheerleader! (and he HAS to be good in bed of course!)
-haven’t found him yet, and not exactly looking (I am just in college, give me some time!). If he’s out there and ready for me, then I am ready!
-Really hope to win. I am still in search of the perfect bag to tote around my text books! Plus The books are by stellar authors!Me likes!

Of course, what little girl doesn’t dream of her wedding. I was boy crazy from the second I started walking. Had my first boyfriend/kiss in kindergarten 🙂 I always looked to the future and was in love with being in love, more often than not it turned out to be lust and not love 🙁 My parents had a nasty divorce when I was 6 and my step mom didn’t really care for us and neither did my step dad and we would watch my mom and step dad fight all the time. I was so sure I would end up miserable like my mom that I was obsessed with finding mr. right and would throw myself into relationships. I did get married when I was 8 to my step cousin. LOL, I know right??!!!! Didn’t last long, I ended up falling in love twice and had my heart broken and out of nowhere, I finally meet my mr. right. Walks right into my life and blows me away at the tender age of 19 I met my soulmate and have been deleriously happy ever since 🙂

I dreamed and pretended I was a bride when I was little. I even had a bride dress, veil and a little boquet of flowers I wore for Halloween several times in a row! LOL! I pretented I was marrying a prince I’m sure but really had know clue to what marriage was.
When I finally got married as an adult it was great. I had a outdoor wedding by the bay with all my friends and family. I wore a beautifull gown and my hubbie wore a tux and we had purple roses and it was so awesome. And I did marry my prince!

When I was a little girl, I was going to marry a sailor man, just like my daddy. I wanted to wear the uniform, too (back in the day it included the bell bottomed trousers).
Later, I had my wedding all planned out (apricot and lavender were my colours. Can we all say gag now?) but no Prince Charming in mind. Obviously, he’d have to be someone better than the guys I was dating. LOL
I did finally find him and he’s –still– nothing like I ever imagined he’d be. But we suit each other well and have been rubbing along for almost 25 years now.
And we ended up getting married in front of a judge and I wore a pink and white sundress which was just perfect!

I don’t think I fantasized about weddings or Prince Charming as a child. I think I was more dreaming of my future job.
I was never going to get married. so I didn’t dream of any wedding or prince charming.
I have met him 5 years ago, don’t know if I dreamt of him, tho’. LOL.

I was so sure that I’d be alone when I grew up (but that didn’t happen, much to my amazement). So I never imagined a wedding of any type. Now, though, a beach wedding would be nice, not that I plan to get hitched any time soon.

I always wanted the big wedding with the beautiful dress and lots of bridesmaids . . . and I got it. It was a great experience and I did find my prince charming and am still with him.
I did and he was the ideal prince like person. I have not found him or my soul mate yet but I am still looking.

I always wanted an outdoor wedding by the beach. I’d have a long, flowing gown that was comfortably airy to wear and twine links of crystals through my updo of hair so I’d look magical. My picture perfect fiancee would be Colin Farrell who would recite all the things he loves about me using his thick Irish accent. He’d be comfortably attired too for quick clothing removal later.
Still haven’t found the right person and don’t think I ever will. Me and my friends agreed that we’ll be living together like The Golden Girls one day.

I did! It was a very traditional wedding. The nice white wedding dress, bridesmaids, even a carriage! Hahaha I used to dream of marrying my crush at the time. Alas, he married someone else. I’m very happy for him though. I do want to get married, but not anytime soon.

Well, I wanted to be a “princess” at my wedding and yeah, I think I ended up getting it. yay me!!
I surely did fine my Prince Charming. I did always plan my wedding in my head as a girl. I am older now and my wonderful husband passed away many years ago.

I love to sew, and I always planned to make my own wedding dress. I have some fine, vintage cream brocade fabric which belonged to my grandmother. It would make a wonderful Victorian-style wedding gown. It’s a rich fabric, not needing much additional adornment. I met the love of my life when I was sixteen, but we did not stay together. No wedding dress…no wedding. Just dreams!
I’m with LSUReader. I wanted to be a detective too. I honestly did not think about weddings. But I did think about finding Mr. Right occasionally. Still do. Haven’t found him yet 🙂
I did not dream of a fairy tale wedding or any wedding. I didn’t have an image of what my prince charming would be.
I never cared much about my actual wedding, I just wanted a very cool wedding dress. I’m happy to say that I got exactly what I wanted and our wedding ended up being a casual barbeque on the beach in Kauai – something I never would have dreamed of as a kid. As for Prince Charming, I think I got mine, although as a kid, I don’t think I could have imagined him either.
