Setting

Setting: Why I picked it

I picked this setting because I believed that it

went with both Hermia's and Lysander's personalites because they are both simple but will fight for what they believe in and when I think of that I think of nature, quiet but strong. I thought that Hermia and Lysander would have wanted to have a small, simple wedding and what better place to have one than a park? Hermia and Lysander had originally planned to run away to the woods and get married so it only seemed fitting that they would be married in a woodsy area.

Setting: Why I picked it cont.

Every part of the park has a symbolic meaning

for their love. The trees, the flowers, and the sun each stand for a part of their love. The trees serve as a reminder of the love between Hermia and Lysander, strong and undying. The flowers are reminders of how beautiful their love is. Finally, the sun is an example of how bright their love shines when they are together.

Love Story by Taylor Swift

Why Did I Pick These Vows?

Hermia and Lysander did not seem to be the kind of people to want an extravagant wedding, so I did not do many decorations. The wedding takes place in a park so the decorations came with the location. The main decoration would be the archway the couple would stand under. This archway is

woven with cream colored flowers, which

represent appreciation. I thought this

would be very appropriate due to their appreciation for eachother and the cream color would go with the color scheme of the wedding (blue, silver, and peach). The invitations woud be simple and designed by them. As would the place settings and cake.

Why These Gifts?

We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts:

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello, "

Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.

Oh, oh.

'Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me,

I was begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult but it's real.

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around.

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said...

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never come.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.

I love you, and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

I picked the china from Oberon and Titania because it seemed

like the kind of simple beautiful thing they would pick. The key chain from Helena and Demetrius looked like the perfect gift from one friend to another. Because it was cheap I thought that it would make sense for them to give Hermia and Lysander some money as well. Theseus and Hippolyta, being royalty, struck me as the type of people to give extravagant, beautiful wedding gifts. For this reason I chose the bedding set as their gift to Hermia and Lysander. I thought that all of these gifts went well with Hermia and Lysander's personalities. The china struck me as something that went well with Lysander's quiet personality. The bedding reminded me of Hermia's dramatic flare.

I thought that neither Hermia or Lysander would have wanted generic, boring

wedding vows. I tried to create wedding vows unique to each person and their style. I picked Hermia's vows because she always seemed a little dramatic to me. In addition to being very dramatic, she really loved Lysander so I tried to combine those two traits into her wedding vows. For Lysander, he is always very optomistic so I incorporated some of his optimism into his vows. He always seemed more happy so I tried to make his vows happy and in sync with his enthusiastic personality. The vows go with each of their personalities and blend together splendidly. This is similar to the way Hermia and Lysander fit together; amazingly.

Why I Picked This Song

I picked Love Story by Taylor Swift because I thought that the

lyrics told the story of Hermia and Lysander's love. This song really brings their story to life because it tells almost exactly what happens to them without the magic and spells. It shows how in love they are, how no one approves, how they plan to run away, and how, in the end, they become married. Hermia's father does not approve of Lysander so they plan to run away. They run away together and try to escape the laws of Athens, so close your eyes... escape this town for a little while. When Lysander is under the love flower's spell he loves Helena so it is like he is gone from Hermia, I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around, and then he comes back to her, My faith in you was fading when I met you on the outskirts of town. In the end, Lysander and Hermia are married and their love story concludes, Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you, and that's all I really know.

Works Cited

Today, I, Hermia, do swear to stay with you, Lysander, until the end of time. I will love you through the worst of times as well as through the best. I take you as my husband, my soul mate, my partner. My heart shall be the home of yours until I can no longer draw air into my lungs.

I, Lysander, accept you, Hermia, as my one and only love. I will love you with every ounce of my being until I am gone. Together we shall be able to conquer any challenges life throws our way. Our hearts shall beat as one, reminding us that we are here for eachother.
