I was just a regular chick trying to sort through the bewildering mystery of wedding planning in order to throw a giant party that celebrated all the people I loved best. And I did that, right here in this space. Sort of!

My beau and I got engaged in June 2009 and we planned a wedding for September 18, 2010. Like many who came before us, it was our first time navigating the murky waters of social expectations, cultural traditions, consumer impulses, and the finer (read: nuttier) points of blending families, and at the time I thought writing a blog might help make sense of it all.

What’s left from that time are the archived posts that chronicle our journey. And the wonderful people I met along the way. Seriously, it was a time unlike any other. A time… when people read blogs. And became friends with people who read blogs! Pounds cane on the ground for emphasis.

As of January 11, 2011, I packed up and moved over to my permanent home at another damn life, where I’m currently writing about… life. And babies. And therapy. And donuts. Feel free to visit me there, if you’d like.
