Never thought I'd be a blogger...

...but I had pretty much given up on being a bride too. So whatcha know?! Here I am typing a blog to strangers AND trying to plan a wedding on a super limited budget with a super wonderful husband-to-be (I'm not really into fiance/fiancee mostly because I can't remember how to spell it properly and it's like I'm trying to be euro-hip every time I talk about him) who would like to invite all of his high school and college friends though they may not have spoken in...oh...three years.

We've been dating about a year, engaged about a month, and we are getting married in September. September 19th to be exact. There was just no point in waiting, ya know? So on the plus side I don't have a year (or years) to stress over this stuff, but for the time being it is all consuming. But in a fun way. Being on a budget, I'm having to learn and compromise, and I'm finding out I'm pretty good at this wedding stuff. Yet, my anxiety is pretty high and I need a place to detox from the wedding, so to speak, and get back to the things that are important to me.

So, hopefully you'll enjoy this ride with me! If you have any comments or suggestions, please post them! I've already learned so much in the past 4 weeks...for instance, if I had this last month to do over again I would've done my invitations TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY. But, that's the way this wedding stuff is. Maybe if you're as anti-bride minded as I am, this learning curve o' mine can save you some time and mistakes.

But no regrets, right? It's only a wedding for-the-love-of-all-that's-good!
