just so you know

I've been talking with my roommate(s) about this whole blog thing and as it sort of bothers me I just thought I'd do an ol' blog post on it. Just so you're aware, dear readerfriend of mine, I'm not a jerk. I'm not writing this blog because I'm obsessed with money and talking about prices,  nor because I'm a brat that is completely in love and enjoys splashing that fact all over the internet in really ridiculous ways (ahem, lastnight'spost). I'm not writing this blog because I'm obsessed with weddings, or because I'm a bridezilla (whatever that means anyway) or because I'm self-absorbed and think you should care about every little detail in my life leading up to marriage. Maybe I care too much about what others think, but I'd just like to make perfectly clear that those above points are not reasons I am writing this blog. The reason as stated before, has to do with being newly engaged and looking online at wedding blogs and finding the most beautiful ideas for insane amounts of money. It felt a bit ridiculous, and I wanted to show that you can do things with a lower budget and still have it be insanely dreamy. I'm not posting prices/discussing prices for any other reason then I want to show you exactly the cost, so if you or someone you know is getting married you can look at it and feel not in the least overwhelmed like I did.


Also I sometimes find myself sounding a bit judgmental. Or at least I worry that I come across like that. I want you to know that in no way whatsoever am I everevereverever a judgmental person. I would hate to come across as that. Really, you should do as you please. A best friend of mine, who isn't even engaged nor has even a boy in her life at the moment, knows that when she gets married she is going to have the poofy white dress and the new last name and the crazy traditional bridesmaids dresses and wedding songs and bouquet toss and the whole dang shebang. I love that! She dreams about it and talks about it and knows that is what she wants without a single doubt. And I love that about her, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. You really should just do what you want. For me and for Will it is going to look a bit different because that's just how we envision it. To each his own. So please please know that when reading this blog. I'm not a jerk. I'm not obsessed with money. I'm not judging your wedding for being traditional, or not traditional, or anything in between. 


The End.
