the reason

i discovered weddingbee this week. uh oh.

it has been incredibly addicting! how fun to find so many other wonderful women out there sharing thoughts and ideas.

so... i feel like i have been sleeping, eating, and breathing "wedding stuff" for the past few days.

i wanted to take the time to step back for a second and remember the why of all of this.
it's because i want to spend my life with this amazing man.
i am still 110% sure of us.
i know it's right when i can take a step back, look at our relationship from a 3rd person point of view and say yes, this is right. these two people go great together. our qualities compliment each other and i know i will appreciate them even more when we are getting gray.

my sweet cubs fan, i love you dearly.

inspiration on the "big things"

read this post from A Practical Wedding

wow, it's everything i could want. how inspiring.

"Choose a color and soul that you want to have linger for years, and then LIVE there."

this is very similar to thoughts i was having while in bed last night (see previous post). i think a wedding is essentially a reflection of the the couple, especially the bride.
simple, but think about all the weddings you've been to. true or not?
