In a really big nutshell...

Woo hoo!

Although I am newly engaged, I have been pouring over wedding planning websites and the like for as long as I can remember. Now that I'm engaged, I don't have to do it in private! (FYI I was one of those little girls who has been dreaming about her wedding since I could dream). I am so thrilled to be marrying Brian, the man of those dreams!

After obsessively reading wedding blog after wedding blog for so long, I realized that I hadn't read many (or any) blogs about brides-to-be like me. I'm a senior in college working as a Resident Assistant in the dorms - yes, I still live in dorms. Why? Because my job pays for my housing and I am a broke college student who absolutely, positively LOVES finding bargains! (And when I say bargains, I mean finding beautiful skirts for under $10 and scouring flea markets and thrift stores for vintage aqua Ball glass canning jars kind of bargains).

Yet more important than my being a broke almost-grad, my fiance and I are both Christians. We are committed to staying virgins until we are married. Yes, we're different from other couples, but I also know that there still are many brides in a similar situation. I'm broke, in college, and a virgin to top it off, but hey, I'm in love! That's good enough for me. :)
