I just discovered the “Unclutterer” blog this weekend, and I’m hooked. I don’t think I’m alone in realizing I could do many things to unclutter my life, and this blog is a great place to start.
I shall leave you with the post “Ten tips for planning a simple wedding“. Number 8 on the list is especially important:
Remember that your marriage is what is most important, not your wedding day. Keeping this in perspective will save you time and stress when it comes to making decisions about minute details.
Take it from someone who’s been married for almost 5 years. The wedding day comes and goes, but the marriage (hopefully) lasts forever. You won’t remember the flowers or the food, but you will remember the people. Focus on creating a great party and don’t worry that the bridesmaid dresses don’t match the centerpieces.
Many thanks to the folks at Wedding Blog Awards for giving BluePlanetWedding.com’s blog their “Green Wedding Blog” award.
Much appreciated! Thank you.

… for not blogging; I’ve had some fairly major dental surgery to fix and old problem (field hockey stick in the face) and I’ve been a little out of sorts.

A Conversation with the Nuptial-Industrial Complex - a bride’s chat with Big Wedding Business
Kirsten’s community potluck wedding - at Offbeat Bride. Wow, that looked like a fun wedding.
