I began writing here 2 (!) years ago when I started planning my wedding. I didn’t have a support group near me and wedding planning was daunting at the best of times. I thought this would be a place to write out my thoughts. I never expected anyone else would read it. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Because of this blog I found a community. I never felt alone even at my most frantic. I made new friends. I was reminded of what a wedding could be without all the noise, and it was freeing.
Because of this blog I’m a contributor in a new kind of wedding book. One that makes my heart happy. One that I wish I had had when I started this journey, 2 years ago.
I haven’t really know what to do with this space since I got married. I’ve been floundering here for the last year and a half. And so. I’ve started a new blog. I’m not really sure what it’s going to be yet, but I would love if you’d come and follow along.

This photo was taken near the beginning of our ceremony. At this point, I’m pleased with myself for not tripping over my four inch heels and falling into the pool. I told my dad, before we started, that he better hold on to me cause if I was going in, he was going in too. Good thing he listened. I’m pretty sure I haven’t yet made eye contact with anyone except the boy and our officiant. This is good. I haven’t started freaking out yet over all the people staring at me. You can’t really tell, in this photo, but just off to the left is our dog, Bear. He’s not too excited about the short leash he’s on that’s preventing him from running over and jumping all over my dress. We’re over the moon that he’s sitting up there with us. In a few short moments two of our favorite people in the whole world will stand up and say some words for us, and then we’ll say some to each other. Shiny baubles will be exchanged and awkward kiss will be had and that, as they say, will be that.
p.s. For those of you who would like to see more photos where, you know, you can actually see our faces and stuff, head on over to A Practical Wedding where I am today’s Wordless Wedding and to One Love Photo where I’m today’s featured wedding. Thanks to Meg & Heather for helping me celebrate my anniversary!
