Before I proposed, I had no knowledge of anything wedding related. I thought all weddings were like those in Bride Magazine or on Oxygen. Then I discovered wedding blogs, and all of a sudden I had a spreadsheet with 200 crafts that I needed to make for the wedding. Yes, agonizing for a month over our invitation design - because maybe our names would look better one millimeter to the left? - drove me a little crazy, but I kind of miss it now. My fiancee, Jen, would joke fun that I viewed our wedding as a craft show, and sometimes I think she was right.
