New Series!!

   

     I'm excited to share with you some of the new happenings regarding this blog in 2011.

     On Valentine's Day, 2011, I'll be starting a 5-part series on a special bride's story. This unique bride beautifully shared her romance journey with me in detail. I was so moved and encouraged by her love story, that while reading it, I began to weep.

     And now, she's allowing me to share it with all of you.

     Specifically for you, my blog readers, she's taken the time to answer some of my heartfelt questions regarding her relationship, her season of waiting, and her wedding day itself.  In the weeks to come, you'll see that this new bride answered my questions with boldness and honesty.

     So spread the word!

     I hope you'll join me on Valentines' Day, to read Part 1 of... 

"The Wait Is Worth It"

 

Hey You! Mail Order Bride!

The search continues for beautiful, smart, curvy brides over 30. It's funny, anytime I Google the words "Bride" and "30 years old", I immediately get sent to some "Mail Order Bride" website. Really?

Therefore, I'm determined more than ever to bring you relevant stories and photos of women walking into their divine romance after wrestling through their fun, wild, contemplative and often difficult, yet purposeful twenties.

And to you lovely women waiting and expecting to be a bride, and have watched all but two of your friends get married, starred in five weddings, and have given more wedding speeches than are allowed in a lifetime--you've come to the right place.

I found a gem of a couple tonight:  Mandy & Joe

Here's an excerpt from, written by Mandy, on their site:

"After turning 30, I didn't really think I was going to have much hope in getting married, okay well maybe not much hope in having a wedding that I at least semi-envisioned.  Crazy thought, I know.  But my self-confidence was a little tarnished and I was content with just spending my days with my best friend with or without the fancy wedding.  But my hopes were raised when Joe and I decided to go ahead and plan the wedding we always wanted, despite our parents attempts to discourage the idea."

Now my next question, to you ladies is...where do you begin with planning a wedding? What's the absolute first step a bride-to-be should take? We'll explore this topic in the next blog.
