First of all, let me preface this by saying that I am no fancy-shmancy blog creator... I don't have the time or experience to make this blog super cool looking. So bear with me!
My name is Leslie. I'm 26 and live in Arizona. I met my fiance, Pedro, online in September 2010. We've gone through a lot together! We got engaged on Christmas Day 2011. That was a while agi, right?? So why am I just now planning a wedding?
DING! DING! DING! You guessed it! A baby! Our beautiful daughter, Abby, was born in March 2012. She is the best thing that has ever come into our lives. We knew that her needs would come before ours... which means a delay in wedding planning. Well a year later and we are FINALLY getting down to business!
The deets:
Wedding Date: October 11, 2013 @ 4pm
Location: Sedona, AZ
Number of Guests: 45
Ceremony: Outside
Reception: Outside/Inside
Theme: Rustic/Shabby Chic
Colors: Chocolate Brown, Coral, Beige
Basically... We are having an intimate wedding up north in Sedona. We love the outdoors, and you can't beat the scenery of Sedona! We are keeping things very casual... and we have to, being on a budget, and all.
I'm a teacher... a kindergarten teacher. I love it! Making a difference in children's lives is what I love doing. I work with underprivileged children and it really makes me feel good knowing that I'm getting them off to a good start. I don't even think I need to say that I definitely did NOT get into teaching for the money... or lackthereof. So being a teacher, making spare change for paychecks, having a daughter, pets, a house, a car, etc... A big-budget wedding was out of the picture. And I'm OK with that!
Doing some research, and attending a couple weddings last year... I can't believe how insanely priced some of this stuff is. I can't imagine spending $30000+ on a wedding. Not saying that if I didn't have the money, I wouldn't... but my goal is to not put myself in any debt because of this wedding. Yep... I got rid of the credit card! Cash only, please!
So here we go. With Pinterest as my friend and a creative imagination on my side, I'm going to plan this wedding. I'm going to make my decorations. I'm going to use my friends as my allies. I'm going to cut some corners. I'm going to make sacrifices. I'm going to be cranky. I'm going to be happy. I'm excited!
Hope you all can use this blog for SOMETHING... Anything! And if you ever have any ideas, please shoot me a comment or email! I'm going to try to update as much as I can; however, a toddler and teaching takes up a lot of time!
READY. SET. GO!
