Welcome!!!

Welcome to my wedding blog, Wedding Blog One Million and One. I came up with that name while I was planning my own wedding. There are a million wedding blogs out there and I remember just being overwhelmed by and so thankful for all of the beautiful blogs and wishing I had something to contribute. I was a bride. I was crafty. My wedding was going to be a DIY, low budget extravaganza, so there had to be something I could give back…and so was born One Million and One.

I have a long list of topics to dish about, but if you have something that you’re trying to get more info on and are having a hard time with, let me know! I welcome suggestions and comments and whatnot. This blog is supposed to be about what I can share with you to help in your adventure through the Wedding Universe, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have something to learn from you.

Our story- how WE met

While working and going to school in North Dakota, I met my future husband’s brother and sister-in-law. We became fast friends. They saw immediately that I would be perfect for my later-to-be hubby, who was living in Colorado, working and supporting his three kids as a single father at the time. Through them, I connected with Future Hubs over the phone and we also became fast friends, who talked occasionally, for the two years I was living up north. When circumstances changed for me, I was persuaded to move back to Colorado, where I’m originally from, and where Hubs still was. One week after arriving in Colorado, we met face to face and have been together ever since. One year exactly from that day, we were married by a Justice of the Peace and our wedding was held on our 5 year anniversary in Denver, CO where we currently live together with our 5 children. Yup. That’s right. FIVE children.

Onward and Forward

It’s been great meeting you. I’m really looking forward to sharing with you and getting to know you. If you’re a bride or groom or planner or attendant, it doesn’t matter. There will be something here for everyone. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again!
