We all want to be different, we all want to be unique. That's one of the reasons we try various things for self-expression. We choose special clothes, makeup (or no makeup), hairstyle to talk out loud about the uniqueness of our personality. Some people decide to have a tattoo or piercing to show the world who they are and how they want to be perceived. And this is quite natural to be different and try to emphasize one's uniqueness. At the same type, some things are so deeply rooted in our society that it's difficult to ignore them. For example, if we want to get a rest with lots of dancing and parties, the first place that comes to mind is Ibiza. When we go to Italy, the first thing we want to order is authentic Italian pizza. We might have never tried those things before, but for some reason we expect them to be the best. Why? Because we've heard that Italian pizza is the best and that Ibiza is the best place for parties. We might get disappointed if things eventually turn out contrary to our expectations, but we still have a lot of mental projections of what should be good and what should be bad. But what if we decide to break away with those stereotypes and try out something different, something unknown and be out loud about it? What if we choose to visit the places which aren't so popular with the majority of tourists or do something out of the ordinary, like walking seven kilometers instead of driving a car? Getting into the unknown, trying out something new and unknown, - what is it: Curiosity? The challenge to oneself? Or an attempt to show off to friends and relatives?
While the reasons might be various for different people, I think trying out something unusual is definitely challenging and does require to have such qualities as stubbornness, belief in oneself and the courage to go against the pre-established norms and take risks in life. And I think, no matter, what the reasons are for stepping out of the commonality, people who do it will learn something about themselves and others in the process of plunging oneself into an adventure. It's similar to getting to a foreign country, in which no one speaks your language, and all you can do is to use sign language to express yourself. Such situations are the best teachers and motivation drivers. And it can be applied to every area of life, traveling, recreation, food and, of course, love.
There are so many stories, poems, songs, artworks devoted to the concept of love. And it's not surprising. People who have experienced love at least once in their lifetime, recall it as the most beautiful experience they've ever had. Love can bring sense to life and inspire people for doing something important. That's one of the reasons there would be hardly any person on the Earth who wouldn't want to experience that beautiful feeling of love. But, unfortunately, it's not as easy to find one's true love, and even once you've found it, it can be easily lost. Some people believe that love belongs to something magical and might try to use love spells to attract love into one's life or bring back the once lost love. Some people might be skeptical about it claiming that there isn't any magic and everything can be explained logically. But we still aren't quite sure how the love works, and so, maybe, there is something magical about it. Besides, if a person has a strong belief in something, it will most likely happen. The most important thing is not to harm anyone.
Usually, when the love is found, the next step is to get married to that person and start living a new life together. Since the wedding ceremony symbolizes a new beginning, a new stage in life, it's a good idea to have it the way you want it. If a person feels like she wouldn't want to wear a traditional white wedding dress and would rather get married in jeans - then she should definitely do it. Breaking stereotypes and doing something differently isn't easy, it's quite challenging, but no matter what others would say, the principal thing is to follow one's heart and one's true wishes. One could also add some creativity and get rid of the myths regarding formal wedding invitation wording. Doing everything in the same manner might be approved by a lot of people but remains boring and lifeless. Putting in some spices can add a distinctive flavor to a dish.
Regarding honeymoon trip, there are a lot of places considered to be the best for such an occasion. Of course, Paris is associated with love and romantics; some beautiful islands with magnificent nature are no doubt great spots to spend the honeymoon as well. But one could visit such places other times and choose something more unusual for the honeymoon. One of the options might be to visit a country with an entirely different culture and views on life; for example, going hiking in Nepal or visiting national parks and lakes in Vietnam might give a unique and unforgettable experience. And it isn't scary to visit some unknown places; one should just plan everything ahead. For instance, if one decides to go to the capital of Vietnam, one should read about the weather there and choose the best time to visit Hanoi, Vietnam, based on the suggestions. If one has the right clothes, has more or less clear vision of what places to visit, learns at least a few words in a foreign language, the trip to every exotic country will be an adventure to remember.
I believe in the importance of following one's heart and staying true to oneself. I believe in the importance of trying out new and unusual things and letting all the fears go away. Trying something new is a great challenge to oneself, but without such challenges, we would get stuck in life and wouldn't grow as personalities.
