The Beginning

The Beginning

Mr. Burger and I have had so many beginnings. Do I start when we met, began dating, moved to the same city, moved in together, got engaged? Every part of our relationship has been amazing, and, just to sound totally cliche, I am so, so lucky to be marrying my best friend (and I apparently love using commas).

For our purposes, I’d like to start at the beginning of wedding planning… and if we’re being totally honest, that would have to start years before I even met him. Really. I have had this tendency to say “I am totally having this at my wedding” about anything and everything fun that I have experienced since about senior year of high school.

Burger and I had talked about getting married from fairly early on in our relationship - we just knew that we were meant to be together. When I started medical school three years ago, I found myself daydreaming about our wedding to be an excellent distraction! The first two years of school were tough on me - both intellectually and psychologically - and “wedding planning” was an escape to a different world. It started out innocently enough, researching my dream venues and vendors, reading wedding blogs, visiting the knot.com. Eventually though, I had a knot account, read Weddingbee religiously, and made a folder to bookmark wedding inspiration. Embarrassing, but true.

Once the question was finally popped and the gorgeous ring was on my finger (that story is for another day :), I was ready and raring to go!

So, after that lengthy introduction, I give you the inspiration board for what I hope will be our timeless, romantic, classy, and super-fun wedding.

Sources from top left: 1. Tablescape - MSW (magazine), 2. Dress - Alfred Angelo, 3. Macarons - Mrs. Bell Pepper (huuuuuge inspiration for me), 4./5. Hairstyles - Project Wedding, 6. Chair Decor - Mrs. Bell Pepper (again :), 8. Earrings - Ben Amun WBPro (I think!?) , 10. Tablescape - the knot, 11. Fan Program - you guessed it, Mrs. Bell Pepper!, 12. Bout - Project Wedding, 13. Purse - J.Crew, 14. Lia Dress - Melissa Sweet

What do you consider your “beginning?” How did your wedding planning start?

When I got engaged I was over my head in grad school applications. Like you, wedding planning was a welcome break from the stress of it all! Lovely inspiration board!

My knot account WAY predates my engagement! As far as our beginning goes, eh, I don’t know. I like your approach - lots of beginnings.

I love the hairstyle inspirations!

Can I also mention that every time you call him “Burger” it reminds me of Carrie in SATC…anyone else?

Your inspiration is very romantic I love the colors. A few months before we were engaged, when we started talking about getting engaged, is when I started to look at the knot and found weddingbee and the obession began! I heard of the knot.com before this but never really thought about it or cared too much until we started to really talk about getting engaged. I know a lot of girls and women dream of their wedding day when they are little but I didnt…but when we got engaged I started to dream big!

How sweet ~ It sounds like you might be in your 3rd or 4th year in med school, which is the perfect time to plan your wedding. I’m excited to see how your wedding turns out!
