OK! You've probably seen the assumptions tag going around on the internet where people assume something about a person. A follower suggested I do one for my wedding and I thought it would be a wonderful idea! It was so great to hear your assumptions, and I'm excited to share if they are true or not!
And before we get into it, I want to say two things:
1. Me sharing the "extra" details of my wedding does not mean those are the only things I care about and I'm doing this all for show. We're past the point of that. I've been engaged for close to ten months and have done a blog post every Wednesday since.
You should all know by now how much I love and adore Andrew. He's my everything. But I don't want to shove that down everyone's throat. I've always kept our relationship off the blog (for the most part) and I plan on keeping it that way. The point of my posts about the wedding is to share details and fun notes about planning. I am able to do that without taking away from the fact that this day is about marrying the man I love. I wanted to clear the air for anyone thinking otherwise!
2. Some of theses answers are going to confuse you. That is not my intention. The plans for the wedding are perfect for Andrew and I and are exactly what we want. It's not going to be a traditional wedding, but it's going to be very us. I want to keep a good part of our plans private until the big day.
I PROMISE I will share a full breakdown of the wedding after it's all said and done. There's a fine line with sharing on the blog. I want to loop you guys in and share what I can, but at the same time I want there to be surprises! I hope that makes sense.
And with that, let's get into the assumptions!
