For years I was all about not really having a wedding. I got engaged 11 days ago to my best friend of 9 years (but only boyfriend for 6 months- when we realized it was love) and although my fiancé always mostly agreed with the no wedding plan- after a few days of engagement he revealed he kind of wants to have a wedding after all- and I caught a bit of the wedding bug myself! We are in the process of a long adoption (adopting a baby girl from another country) and we feel not only would it be a good way to distract myself over the next months to go (we are over a year into the adoption process now- a beautiful and yet painfully long process!) but also you only get one chapter in life to have a wedding... why not!?
So suddenly I've done a bit of a 360 and love the idea and specialness of planning a wedding- especially since it means so much to my future husband.
We are aiming for September 2015 (I know- soon in the wedding world!) and aiming for a somewhat lower budget wedding (under 10k) for a small party of just 50 close friends and family.
Happy to be here and hope to learn a lot about something I know nothing about!
Ps- here's the gorgeous sapphire ring he picked out- ethically sourced and exactly what I wanted... I may have hinted at sapphire. One is taken in daylight- one is taken the night he proposed.
Ps. One quick question- any reason my timeline ticker thing and what not doesn't show up!? Any help would be great!
