First of all, welcome to my new website! And by “new” I mean it was created a couple of months ago, and I’m only just now adding a new post to it. The rest of the posts you see on the site before this one were imported from the blog I kept up for a few years.
But why was a website set up a couple of months ago and I haven’t added a new post until now, you ask? Well, I’ve been a little busy, and getting busier by the day.
And that’s because I’m getting married in 69 days!
The months since Alan and I got engaged back in October have been filled with making arrangements with venues and vendors, shopping for dresses and tuxes, organizing the wedding party and the music. The weeks since my wonderful fiancé and resident tech nerd surprised me with this domain and website have been filled with alterations fittings, getting the invitations together, making final to-do lists that take up an entire closet door, and starting the process of picking out all the décor for the ceremony and reception.
I’m a stubborn, stubborn girl. I find there to be no reason to hire a wedding planner when I can just do it all myself. And it would probably stress me out more having a wedding planner anyway, because I wouldn’t have complete control over everything. But, yes, it’s true. Doing the wedding planning yourself is a lot to do if you’re not a professional event planner in the first place. (The way I look at it, though, during these months I’m gaining a lot of life experience I can use down the road.)
So that’s where I’ve been for the last months. And that’s where I’ll be for the next two. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a couple more wedding-related posts here before the wedding day comes.
