One of the things I've found while planning the wedding is that I kind of have been losing sight of some of the more practical things surrounding the wedding including where we're going to live once we're married. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely thought about it right down to us coming home from our honeymoon to a clean, new, perfectly furnished apartment, all ready for us to begin our new life in. I guess I just thought it would fall into place on its own, but that's never the way things work in the real world. Posted at 12:00 AM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

Now that the reception and ceremony sites have been booked, we had to start thinking about one of the other pieces of the puzzle a photographer. This is one of the things that brides don’t exactly dream about for their wedding. I mean, everyone knows that you say your “I Do’s”, kiss, dance, and eat, but when have you ever heard a woman whisper “This is the photographer I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little girl!” during a photography interview? Never? Didn’t think so. Posted at 12:00 AM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |
