The First

Hello friends, family, and strangers. Matt and I have decided to start, and hopefully keep up with, a blog dedicated to our life together. More specifically, to document the ideas, stress, stories, and adventures that come about when two young people (us) become engaged, plan a wedding, and ultimately get married. Being engaged for 11 very short days, we are already filled with excitement about the entire process. We're sharing ideas, making a guest list, reading blogs, researching venues, and quickly realizing that this wedding is going to come and go faster than we can imagine. This being the case, we wanted to make something that we could look back on when all of this craziness is over, and we are happily married (which is what we are most excited for).

Below you will find a picture of Matt and me shortly after we started dating in 2005. Under that are two photos of us from just a few days ago.
