Are we going to be featured in Vogue Weddings?!
NO…?!?! Didn’t we agree there was NO PUBLICITY with this wedding?!
But we’re even talking about it on this blog now. Anyone who stumbles upon these conversations is gong to feel impressed, I’m sure of it! This is SUCH A COOL WEDDING!!! Korean-Christian marrying Taiwanese-Buddhist!??!?!! The more we’re planning it, I feel like sharing it with the world!!!
(Deep sighs)… I don’t feel… that is… necessary…
Why?! Wasn’t it your dream once upon a time to be a fashion journalist? How cool would it be that YOUR WEDDING is being featured in VOGUE?!
(Sigh) I let go of that dream a long time ago… and it has nothing to do with my wedding… I just don’t feel like I “need” a feature in VOGUE — and it doesn’t make sense with the narratives of your characters!
It could make sense. Trust me. By 2027… it could all make sense…
What are you planning?!
Just leave it with me. Do you want a Vogue feature or not?
(Shaking my head) I still… don’t think so…
Why are you so unimpressed by this!? Have you ever been to a wedding that’s been featured in Vogue?!
No… but I do have a friend who’s had their wedding featured…
Oh?!
Yeah… it was featured in Vogue China…
(Wide-eyed) Vogue… CHINA….?! You?!?! A Taiwanese… Buddhist…?!?! Have a FRIEND… who’s wedding… was featured in… Vogue… CHINA?!?!? Mainland China?!?! Their offices are in SHANGHAI — Vogue CHINA?!?!?!?!
(Nodding)
Which friend?!?!?!
A media girl… she married a Chinese man…
(WIDER EYES)… Do you… still keep in touch?
Not really… I mean, sure I could just message them on Facebook messenger any time of any day about anything but not really…
(Cackling) “Not really” — but I could message them any-TIME of ANY-DAY about ANY-THING!!!
(Shrugs shoulders) (Smiles)
So… you’re not impressed with a feature in Vogue Weddings because your FRIEND already had HER WEDDING featured in Vogue China — even if you didn’t actually attend that wedding.
(Nodding)
Well… what if ours was featured, not only in Vogue China… but also… Vogue Taiwan… Vogue Korea… Vogue Japan…?
(Bizarre expression) Are you really going to organise that?
WHAT IF…?!
(Deep breaths but with a slight smile…)
Oh?!?! IS THAT A SMILE?!?!?! IS THAT A SMILE?!??!!?! YOU DO ACTUALLY WANT OUR WEDDING FEATURED ACROSS VOGUE CHINA, TAIWAN, KOREA, JAPAN?!!?!?!?
Well it wouldn’t make any sense if you suddenly tried to get it featured in Vogue Australia. I don’t think it’s that relevant…
(Nodding) But we could get a feature in Vogue China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan…
Why Japan?!!?!?
I don’t know! Just all those countries in North-East Asia. Okay, my characters — their fans are going to love it.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!?!!? Are you sure the fans aren’t going to turn BAT SHIT CRAZY that you ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED!?!?!!?!?!?!
(Shaking his head, deep sighing) … No. Not by 2027. They’ll be fine. They’ll get it. It’ll all be alright. TRUST ME…
Okay… I trust you…
You do?
(Nodding) This time around… I trust you… you know my biggest fears about crazy psycho fans. You wouldn’t let that happen to our wedding.
(Takes my hand… places it on his heart)… I’m not going to let any crazy psycho fans ruin our wedding. But I’m also going to get us featured in Vogue North-East Asia…
Okay fine. I’m not being interviewed, right? You and your staff just write whatever you want. I’m in the pictures, but I’m not being interviewed. I don’t wanna say shit.
Okay. We can do that…
All the photos are from our official — whoever we hire — nobody is allowed to post anything on social media. The only media will be the Vogue features. That’s it.
Okay…
All the guests have to be briefed about this.
They will be. The MC’s will drum it in. There’ll be signs at every table. We’ll even instruct the hotel staff. It’ll be LOCKED IN.
Okay… (shrugs shoulders) I’m a Buddhist, I’m super chill!
(Laughing) I love you…
I love you too! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
