“At the touch of love, every­one becomes a poet.”

Or at least they start blogging…

I am a self con­fessed wed­ding junky.  Long before I met my now hus­band I was a wed­ding junky, and I don’t really see any end in sight.  I am obsessed with all things involv­ing wed­dings, cel­e­bra­tions, design, dec­o­rat­ing, gourmet cook­ing, wine and travel.  I had a sub­scrip­tion to Food and Wine Mag­a­zine and Sun­set at the age of 13; and I used to keep a huge stack of wed­ding mag­a­zines under my bed in my early 20’s, when I was still sin­gle.  They were my guilty indul­gence and I would sneak into the gro­cery store late at night to buy them.  Now, I proudly dis­play the col­lec­tion in my office; years and years of mag­a­zines marked with post-it notes and love.  The col­lec­tion has been joined by a plethora of books, clip­pings, swatches, rib­bons, paper sam­ples and other nec­es­sary indulgences.

For me it was never a fan­tasy of meet­ing the groom and being the Princess Bride, it was always my thirst for cre­ativ­ity, my love of all events and par­ties and just enter­tain­ing in gen­eral.  I mean you should really see me throw a din­ner party…  I call it my men­tal ill­ness, I am not happy if I am not plan­ning some­thing.  That is the rea­son I became a wed­ding plan­ner and now a wed­ding blog­ger, I needed a larger out­let than one wed­ding at a time.  A place where I could share my ideas and finds with Brides and other wed­ding junkies.

I loved my wed­ding, and I love being mar­ried.  I love the cre­ative process involved in find­ing a new way of doing some­thing, a new design ele­ment and putting it all together.  There is noth­ing more spe­cial to me than a cel­e­bra­tion of love… love for life, the love of two peo­ple and the love of the process.

Happy Plan­ning!
