In Full Swing? ~> Saving a Bundle

Every bit of information you've ever read about men not being as interested in planning their own wedding as you will be is mostly true. Coming to terms with that, I decided to stop waiting on the FH aka Mr. H to finish compiling his list before I got over some hurdles and disposed of some necessary evils. 


First order of "bidniss", our website. I'm the design chick and so much more comfortable with a computer than I am with actual humans (what?), that I knew I could knock the early stages of this task out of the box with little to no input from Mr. H. Being the research and comparison shopping maven that I am, I decided to go with eWedding for our site. As frugal as I am, I did opt for a package and got our own domain. I've always been generally annoyed by this: http://www.website.com/INSERTYOURUSERNAMEHERE and http://INSERTYOURUSERNAMEHERE.website.com. Not that there is anything wrong with that type of web address, it just gives me an itch when I'm behind the site. Not surprisingly, eWedding has some pretty nice features (that I would have built in with code on my own) included in the packages. Big plus!


Now onto the stuff I've been DYING to share!

Adding Mr.'s Take

I thought hard for a while on whether I wanted to invite the "Mr." to add a little insight here. You know, the male perspective. He's a wise guy (in a good way), he's also an accomplished sarcastic, as am I. So yeah, after some deliberation, i decided "What's the worse that can happen?". I also sent up a heartfelt prayer that there won't be any "special" diatribes jumping off on the Indeed blog. Here goes nuttin'! CLICKED! INVITE SENT! I guess we'll all know if he accepted when we see his first post...goodie goodie!

My "Wedding Planner"

Some brides have a beautiful (and expensive) planner with all those lovely removable pages, pockets, rings, and a pretty pen to go with it! WELL... mine is this cute little notebook (composition) of course. I have a deep seated problem with making notes on everything and then losing the little papers. SIGH... But with this book, I can do all my "genius" doodles (what I call the controlled chaotic randomness of my note taking) and as long as I don't lose the book, crossing my fingers, I'm home free! What are some of your unconventional ways of staying an organized (somewhat at least) bride?

What's in it for you?

Most people know exactly what topics they want to read about on a blog and others... well... they kind of stumble onto blogs and stay there (or not!). I started reading blogs once I knew I'd be planning a wedding and as a side addiction, I read the blogs of people who also have terminal diagnoses. I don't think I am morbid, per se. Sometimes it feels good knowing "I'm not the only one."  And buh-leeeeeve me, I'm not. So what's in it for you? Be happy to tell you!
