We're finally getting married...
We've been together for 7 years and have lived together for 5 so we pretty much feel like we're already married. This wedding will essentially be an eating and drinking fiesta to "make-it-official" and celebrate us continuing our lives together.
Once the wedding planning began & I became absorbed in the SoFla board on the knot, I saw everyone's lovely websites and decided I wanted one too. Then I realized it might be too much work and I didn't know if I'd have the time to get this together and keep it updated.
But of course, as I started getting into more planning, I realized I had 4 million ideas, pictures, notes, websites, etc, etc, etc, scattered among
1) a wedding binder
2) my laptop (which is in the middle of dying)
3) Joey's laptop (which works, but must remain plugged in because the battery charger doesn't work) and
4) our new little netbook (which I'm slowing hating because it starts to hurt your eyes when your staring at such a small screen for so long.)
And so, it just made sense that I'd actually save time by creating the site to organize all my most recent thoughts, ideas, and plans and be able to get to it from anywhere.
I also realized that I'm putting a lot of time into ideas, details, and stories about us and our wedding that might be nice to look back at one day. So after the wedding, my project will be to print parts of the website and put it together with pictures and such to create a scrapbook of the whole wedding, not just the day-of that passes by in the blink of an eye, but the planning that leads up to it as well.
