Wedding

After much debate editing and generally being annoyed at the blogging world I have settled on blog spot. I had started a tumblr account and I dearly love the idea that it automatically adds tags and it is so easy to post things I love through a simply click of my tool bar. I just don't feel that it is as user friendly as I had hoped, and I could not get the disqus comments to work the way I wanted them. This is supposed to be a fun adventure, and I may revisit tumblr or incorporating this and tumblr, but for now I will use the two separately and perhaps cross post often. In case you were wondering the link for that is mlbk.tumblr.com . I will be posting fun unique and interesting things I find on there.

It seems like I have talked about everything except for what led me to this blog creating! Here goes (cross posted from my tumblr)

After being together for almost 3 years, the boyfriend and I have finally decided to get married, we love each other, support each other and enjoy spending time together. Getting married just seems to make sense. We met about 2.5 years ago through friends and he invited me to a party he was throwing his then 6 year old daughter. It took me several wrong turns and many frustrated phone calls later but I finally made it.

We saw each other several times after that but it wasn’t until a friends birthday party in either August or September that we really spent time together. A few weeks after that we went to a party together and then started officially dating the weekend on Halloween 2007.

The past 3 years have been full of ups and downs yet we always ended up back together. So we are looking forward to planning our wedding and getting married next year on memorial day weekend.

I have recently started a master’s program and he is attempting to enroll in a local university to pursue a nursing degree. This wedding will have to be a very budgeted wedding but we think that we can everything we want for under $5000.

Some of the things I may post to this site are because I think they are cute, charming, over the top or perfect. I am planning for a classic late afternoon wedding followed by a contemporary reception.

I created this account as a way to bookmark our thoughts and ideas and allow family, friends, and other readers to share their comments and suggestions!

I am sure their will be days when I post several new ideas, pictures and songs that inspire me, and then days where I don't post anything. Alright lets get started!
