You're Getting Married Where?!

Back when Nick and I first started planning our wedding, I made a firm decision not to post here about the wedding planning process. I had a laundry list of reasons why this wasn't something I wanted to talk about on my blog. I was worried that the content of my blog would become too narrow and only appeal to a certain small audience. I didn't want to fall into a niche that would no longer apply for me after I got married. I was afraid that my choice of a Disney wedding would alienate some readers. And on, and on, and on.

But you know what? I've decided that I just. don't. care. My blog has completely fallen by the wayside, and I hate that, and I honestly think a lot of the reason for it has been this weird, self-imposed list of topics I feel like I "can't" write about. I've given it some thought and I've decided that from now on? The only guidelines I'm setting for myself are the following:

• Don't write something that I don't want someone - anyone - to read;
• Don't write about work.

Other than that? Anything goes. Including wedding plans! Because honestly? That's a pretty big part of my life right now, and I think keeping it out of here is only hurting this space anyway. So stay tuned, because I'm working on some wedding posts and I can't wait to share them with you!

In other news, I recently joined Good Reads. I'm still sort of figuring out what it's all about, but so far I'm pretty intrigued. Although, if I understand correctly, apparently if I had an iphone I could simply scan my books' barcodes rather than tediously entering each of them one by one... and this makes me sad. Because I'm already dying for a damn iphone, but my contract with Verizon doesn't renew until December. Sigh.

Regardless, come add me as a friend!

Are you on Good Reads? What do you love about it?

I completely understand this. I've vowed to not become *that* girl who only talks about planning her wedding but I do still want to talk about it sometimes! (I won't blog about work either). I struggle to find a balance sometimes, or maybe 'variety' is the right word. Either way...I hear you. :)

I'd love to hear about your wedding plans because they're part of *you* - people follow bloggers because they're interested in their lives and their unique perspectives. Happy to see you online no matter *what* you feel like talking about. I have similar rules about work too, so I can relate to struggling with the balance of what to blog about. :)

I am SO glad that you added me on Good Reads. It's such a fun site :) And I'm glad to see you'll be posting again. I've missed you and your blog. Also, I love me some good wedding details, no matter what they are!
