When I was in college, I got obsessed with a website called Weddingbee. And I mean obsessed. The site featured real brides who blogged about their wedding planning process and then followed up with recaps of their wedding day. They all had cutesy themed names and icons like Mrs. Mouse and Mrs. Candy Corn and I devoured those recaps. Like the planning process was fun to see, but my favorite part was the minute-by-minute breakdown of the actual wedding itself.

So when I got married in 2022, what did I want to do? Apply for Weddingbee!

They don’t do that anymore.

When I tell you I was crushed. So so crushed. What do you mean, I couldn’t apply for the chance to be something cute like Miss Creme Brulee and post all about my wedding? And what do you mean, there weren’t any current blogs to read about wedding planning? The site still exists, but just as an ordinary wedding planning site.

So what’s a girl to do? Clearly, I need to blog about my own wedding in my own space!

I don’t have a cute name or icon (I’ll totally take suggestions, though). But in the meantime, I’ll post a blog per week this year recapping my wedding. Is that extra? Yeah, it is. But it’s my blog, and also I loved my wedding, and I want to document it! So I’m gonna!
