Why I Didn’t Start A Blog
I finally started this blog last August. I say finally because I had been wanting to start one for months.

Our Engagement Story
The story of our engagement is little unorthodox. I started serious wedding planning before Hugh proposed. We even booked our venue and photographers over a month before!
