Wedding Blog Mania

Does anyone realize how many wedding blogs are present on the interwebs today?  I've had a recent obsession (and by recent, I mean the last two days) with wedding blogs.  It all began with the possibility of finding a wedding venue.  After loving the location initially, I began to research the photography done at the location.  For me, a wedding venue is as much about it's beauty in reality as it is about the ability to get lovely photographs at the location.  Naturally, looking at photographs from the location led me to photography blogs, which then led me to wedding blogs!

Thankfully, three of my classes were cancelled today which gave me ample time to browse these never ending blogs.  I think my favorite so far is the Austin Wedding Blog.  It has great Austin wedding examples, do it yourself projects, and other wonderful ideas and suggestions with a local flair.  I've already filled my mind with fabric flowers and centerpiece decor.  The Knotty Bride blog is also fun, though I prefer the Austin Wedding Blog because you don't have to click those pesky "continue reading" links to see the rest of the photos.  So far, those are the two main blogs that I have navigated in detail.

And, yes, maybe a year and a half is too soon to be obsessing over wedding decor and other minor details. But, I'd say, I know from experience, time flies.  Time goes by especially quickly while attending school full-time and working part-time.  Also, I will mention that it is in my genes to plan, I get it from my mother.  Vacation itineraries, to-do lists, and a bi-weekly budgets are a way of life for me.  It puts me at ease to have a plan and, I dare say, it drives my betrothed crazy at times.  Alas, after eight years together, he's learned to live with me quite literally.

In closing, my future husband and I are taking engagement photos at the end of this week.  By the way, I couldn't be more excited about it!  I will say, in a completely self conscious statement, I realized after viewing a recent photo, my arms need some toning.  So, although it's too late for the engagement photos, I hope to get toned (but not Madonna toned) arms by the time I get married.  So, there, I've put it out there to the world of the interwebs and I will try my hardest to keep my word.  I didn't get EA Active 2 on the Wii for nothing after all!
