A lack of posts might indicate that newlywed life is busy. In our case, that is definitely the truth. Matt’s club team is about to finish their season, I just finished my brief stint in co-ed Ultimate last weekend, I was at a meeting for work until 10 last night, with another planned for next week.

I’ve made a list and will be checking it way more than twice. This list is what must be done before our wedding. It’s eight pages long. It took me just about as many hours to compile. It was an emptying of the mind (Matt: You mean that little thing?) of anything and everything wedding [...]

Wedding planning has been going along at about the same pace as wedding blogging. We’ve chosen the date, location, officiant and photographer thus far (more on that later).
