About Me: I am a Minnesota raised, NYC transplant planning a destination wedding in Napa. I'm balancing my love for the environment and my hubby-to-be's love for tradition to create our "green wedding in disguise." Our wedding will include local food and wine, antique touches and lots of love and laughter. When wedding planning isn't taking up my free time (and money) I love to read, cook, workout, watch baseball and travel! Follow along in my adventure as I attempt to plan an eco-friendly and socially responsible wedding (with eco-oblivious Mr. Pinot Noir).
I recently came upon the 2000 Dollar Wedding blog (thanks to a profile from Meg from A Practical Wedding). Sara and Matt are an amazing couple who were married last month in Colorado. They stuck to a strict budget of $2000 in order to keep the wedding planning focused on their goals and to save the money for a down payment on a house (which…

Engagement Date: August 26, 2006

About Me: I think of life as a journey and I love the places it's taking me! I went to school to study Magazine Journalism, ended up with a second major in Japanese language, and now work at a company that makes software for libraries. I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!

Wedding Date: September, 2008
Blogging Since: December 7, 2007
Venue: The Desmond Hotel in Malvern, PA
About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I read a lot of wedding blogs. A LOT. I’m sure a lot of you (since you’re reading this wedding blog and all) share the same sentiment and slight addiction to all of the great wedding blogs out there.
When I first got engaged, I didn’t really know that wedding blogs existed. Actually, I still thought that blogs were…

About Me: I'm a happy-go-lucky, imaginative spirit trapped in the body of a lawyer. I love reading, shopping, dining out, and exploring my beloved adopted city of Chicago with my fiance. We're planning the wedding of our dreams in my hometown of Los Angeles and we're excited to incorporate our cherished Indian/Pakistani customs and traditions.
When I first started wedding planning, I didn’t realize how important blogs would be to the process. But I’ve learned so much from reading the blogs of other brides and wedding industry professionals; they’re such a fantastic resource for inspiration, diy projects, and vendor suggestions/reviews.
I’ve recently noticed an increase in the number of wedding coordinators with blogs. It’s such a great idea– brides can learn…

I’d like to share some of the many blogs I read, because you never know where you’ll find wedding inspiration!
Let’s start off with something fun and silly that’s been cracking me up lately. Lolsecretz is a cross between Post Secret (where people anonymously confess their secrets on postcards) and Lolcats (where people combine a picture of a cat with funny, misspelled captions). Here are some of the wedding themed ones!

I’ve bookmarked his site (or rather subbed to his rss feed) and can’t wait to see what he has in store!
