I’ve revealed the slow progress we came up with beforehand. Now it’s relieving for me that we have the month fixed (and we’re still rummaging around for the date).

I never thought that being close with this man only for a couple months could lead readiness for a marriage (I was previously an average no-no sayer to marriage life). And I never thought that when the readiness came, I didn’t even get a chance to hear a romantic “Will you marry me?” question (well, [...]

After welcoming Ecoescape’s Laura to blog with us about her eco wedding plans last week, we are excited to introduce Diar, who is planning her 2009 wedding in Pontianak, Indonesia.
Diar is already struggling to get family and friends to understand her desire for a simpler celebration and this is made more difficult by the fact [...]
