Let the planning begin!

1/13/2011

We've only been engaged for a few weeks not and things seem to be falling into place quite well. I think I know the location and am working on a theme! Needless to say I have been a little obsessive over this… LOL.

So we are creating this blog to tack a year of wedding planning and fundraising. Who the hell is going to want to read this blog for a full year? Hopefully, anyone who cares for us and has been a part of our relationship. But particularly those who are far away and we cant see as often as we would like.

Some people would say it’s tacky to raise money for a wedding or honeymoon. That it breaks tradition to ask other people to help us pay for something that is entirely our decision. I would tell those people to go ahead and buy us a blender or some useless appliance for our wedding so we can sell it on craigslist. Kidding! But, not so much.

Seriously, studies show that the gift that really keeps on giving is the gift of experience. So we've decided that we would much rather share out honeymoon experience with our friends and family, than receive dozens of kitchen appliances and picture frames. God has blessed us with everything we really need in life. But this is our one and only honeymoon and we want it to kick ass. As soon as we decide where we are going, we'll make an itinerary and our friends will be able to buy us dinner, pay for a tour or a night on the town. We’ll take pictures and send them to you so you can share the experience with us and really see how your gift has impacted our life forever. We cant wait to share this experience with all of you. Please keep us in your prayers and continue to be the wonderful people you are.
