Since we have gotten engaged, I have been so excited to plan my perfect wedding. At times I’ve felt like Michael didn’t really have much of an opinion on some of the seemingly big and exciting decisions we were making. So, when he texted me about our future-versary party and how awesome it was going to be, I was excited and also very confused. What I now know is that a future-versary is a future anniversary. Because we are getting married on April 15th, 2023, April 15th, 2022, is our future-versary. Our future-versary requires a big party with all of our closest friends, the best pizza we can find, lots…

Michael and I just chose our wedding photographer, and we could not be happier with our decision. Choosing a photographer felt like a really big decision. I mean, they are in charge of capturing one of the most special days of your life. Also, wedding photographers are typically a pretty big investment, so you want to be happy with what you are getting. Of course we have not seen our wedding pictures yet; however, there’s not a doubt in my mind that we made the right decision!

In August of 2021, Michael and I got engaged, and to say that it was perfect would be an understatement. Michael went above and beyond to plan our special day and I am so grateful for that. The perfect proposal looks different for everyone. Michael absolutely knew what to do to make it a dream for me. There were a few things that he did that really stood out to me. Here are the top three things that Michael did that would mean a lot to anyone on the day they get to officially call their loved one their fiancé(e) for the first time. #1: Keep a journal while planning…

Michael and I went into our week of touring wedding venues pretty clueless. We weren’t sure which questions to ask. We didn’t really know what we were looking for, and we had no idea where we wanted to visit. It was very helpful to have so much guidance, however we also learned a lot on our own while going through the process. You might have a lot of voices in your ear telling you what to do, you might have no idea where to start, or you might even feel like you totally know what you’re doing. Wherever you’re at, maybe we can share something we learned that will help…

When I got engaged it didn’t really cross my mind right away that the next step was a whole lot of planning. That is until I saw my Grandma. The first thing she told me was “well you have a lot of work to do now.” (don’t worry, she followed up with a big congratulations) So, two months after our engagement I came home from college for an extended weekend. My mom had planned a long weekend of venue tours. From what I have seen and heard, Long Island weddings are much more elaborate than weddings pretty much everywhere else. Over the course of 5 days me and Michael were…

The Perfect Proposal by Kristen August 15th, 2021 was definitely the best day of my life so far, and it was quite a wild ride. The way that I experienced August 15th, 2021 was very different from how my loved ones experienced the day. I was clueless. This was about to be the best day of my life, and I had no idea. Everybody else did. I had suspected that maybe Michael would propose so I made sure to have my nails done and an outfit on that made me feel pretty. He quickly shut that thought down when I saw him. He even told me to go through his…
