Before You Give Up On Love, Here Are 8 College Guys Confessing What Their Dream Wedding Is

Everyone always asks women what they want their wedding day to be like—the dream dress, the dream venue, the dream guy. However, no one ever asks guys about THEIR vision of the big day, so I got curious and asked around.

Admittedly, I was pleasantly surprised by how sweet and honest their answers were.

Here are the confessions of 8 college guys on what their dream wedding looks like:

The next royal wedding

"I'd like my wedding day to be all about my wife. I want it to be as fairy tale-like as possible. It's the one day she can be a princess, and I can be her prince."

A celebration of family and friends

"I want my wedding to be filled with family and friends, but I don't want the wedding to feel like it's more for them and less for me and whoever I marry. Ultimately, the day is about us."

Shout out Dunder Mifflin

"I want my wedding to be just like Jim and Pam's from 'The Office,' that there is so much love that we just embrace the craziness of the moment and be content with whatever happens."

All about us and the future

Giphy

"I want a wedding day that is purely focused on the personal relationship between me and my future wife. It is the one day dedicated to celebrating a unique bond between two people that is hard to find for many. Sure, the details are important, but sharing a lifelong commitment is really what matters."

Intimate and outdoors

"I definitely want to be outside on a lake or have everyone hike up a mountain and change into their wedding clothes on top. I would not want a big group there—only close friends and family, but I have a feeling it will end up being big because I have 14 cousins and many aunts and uncles. Instead of a big party afterwards, I want a few bottles of wine and a perfect sunset."

All about my future wife

"I want my wedding day to be the best/happiest/most perfect day my wife could possibly have because her joy would actually make me the happiest one."

Good music and lots of fun

"I want it to be a day where everyone can just have fun, where I feel comfortable standing up there and everyone is just ready to party. I want it to be smaller and a little bit more laid back with lots of good food and great music."

Like father, like son

"I'm a little mushy, so I do want a big wedding in the mountains in the summer or spring. And I want everyone to black out at my wedding. I think half of my dad's friends had children nine months after my parents wedding."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
