Somehow in the past week or so I've fallen back in love with the aesthetics and vibe of the Star Wars prequels (especially "Attack of the Clones") as well as the Old Republic games. Nothing else quite looks like them. I want to live in that world...
Well...maybe not an exact replica. I might want to change out the hues to be red-dominated...but I wouldn't need to look too far for inspiration. Another politician from the same planet indulged in this most Sith-like of color schemes. 😉
I think it might be because I went to the villa last April and it's only now truly sinking in. Yes, where Padmé got married is a real place: Villa del Balbianello. And having seen it in person I'm not sure if I could abide being married anywhere else than at that same spot.
It seems a person can get married there. It's expensive for a wedding venue, but since my dream wedding doesn't involve a crowd, that helps to keep costs down, so splurging on the venue might be more financially attainable than I'd expect.
May the artwork bring to your soul the joy and independence that living free -- thinking, speaking, and journeying -- engenders, nurtures, and strengthens.
