Welcome

Due to the request of many, I have decided to begin a wedding blog. I suppose I should begin with my wedding philosophy:

• A wedding is a day where you get to share with your closest family and friends your love for one another, and make a very special commitment.
  
• It's ONE very special day. Spending $25,000 (national average) on ONE day is ridiculous. Put that money to better use. Perhaps a car, down payment on a house, put it in savings, etc.
• A wedding should reflect the couple. I'm a strong proponent to the DIY approach to a wedding. It makes the wedding even more personal, while avoiding the $25,000 price tag!

With that being said, I like to consider myself to be a practical bride. Some may call me a budget bride, a frugal bride, even a cheap bride, but just know that I am already having a hell of a time planning! My goal is to use this blog to share with you the progress we're making, my fun DIY projects, and much more! However, don't expect me to give away too much! I still want the day to be a surprise.

Update on our progress:

• Date: June 23, 2012
• Location: Phoenix House and Well Newry, ME (Across from South Ridge at Sunday River)
• Band & Photographer: BOOKED!

With exactly 9 months until the wedding Steve and I are both very excited and well on our way to the perfect day! June 23rd will be here before we know it. More to come soon!
