Read Our Love Stories & Wed-Planning Jouneys From the Beginning

I first came across the blogging world after I googled "Los Angeles wedding venues."  I was very interested in The Bungalow Club as a potential venue... and wanted to see pictures of a wedding done there... which ended up leading me to this rad-as-balls wedding blog: The Broke-Ass Bride.  The *instant* I read a post from Dana, I was in love. Hooked. And for once, I actually got excited about planning our own wedding. But I came late to the game.  Her wedding had already been planned and executed by the time I found her site. But that didn't matter. What drew me to Dana's amazing blog was her writing style, her honesty, and her think-outside-the-box mentality. But what I connected with the most was Hunter and Dana's amazing love story. I sat and read her blog from beginning to end in practically one sitting. I even read all her posts on Weddingbee as Mrs. Meatball... in the hopes that there was a post on there I hadn't read on her personal blog. (I know. Fangirl-alert). Reading their story just made me fall in love with being in love all over again. And just because I found her site after her wedding was over, that didn't stop me from starting at the very beginning of the blog.  You can learn SO MUCH about planning a wedding from reading a bride blogger or groom blogger's journey from the very beginning. Because *that* is what our blogs really are: big electronic journals documenting how we all fell in love, got engaged, and experienced the blissful insanity that is planning a wedding.

So, as a service to you all, I have compiled a list. A list of  links to "First posts" from my favorite must-read-if-you're-planning-a-wedding Blogs. Click on the link, and start reading from the beginning. And fall in love with planning your wedding the same way I did...


Oh, and here's MY FIRST POST... Just in case you want to go back and fall in love with our love story! And to all the bloggers listed above: Thank you. I couldn't have survived this journey without your support and inspiration. I love you all!

  1. Warm and fuzzy hugs, right back at you. I was SO excited to find your doing-it-your-way-in-LA blog too and start way back at the beginning. And it's really amazing to go back and see where we all started out (I adore first posts) compared with where the process has taken us, and yet what's always remained constant. This wedding journey has been incredible, and an incredible challenge, and I'm lucky to have shared it with you and the other bloggers on that list.

  4. AWWWWWW. I was SUCH A BABY.

    I wanna out myself as a longtime lurker here before I ever commented. You blew me off my feet with your balls-out way of talking about anything you wanted, however you wanted. And I'm not just blowing smoke.

    But anyway. I see a few folks on this list I've never read. Time to get at it.

  5. WHAAAT?? Ok, no, take me off of there RIGHT NOW. I do NOT deserve to be up there with the likes of you, Dana and the other fabulous women. Silly girl. Shit, now I need to step up my blogging game. This is just ridiculous. Well, ok, THANK you for including me in that list. I'm really not sure what I said to warrant that honor. Lol, I'm going to go throw up now.

  9. Love this! I didn't start reading personal wedding blogs until, hmm, January? And although I've read pretty far back on most of these blogs, I don't know that I ever got to the very beginnings. Awesome.
