It was reaffirming to read this post. You may have written it more than a year and a half ago, but it still holds true today.

i found myself addicted to wedding blogs, seriously, that's what it felt like. and yes, i started to feel overloaded and exhausted. it was hard to shake (I kept thinking, i just need to read one more post – what if i see THE thing that i need in my wedding in that post??)

then i go to the opposite end of the spectrum and just want to run off the vegas and elope. the funny thing is, although some inspiration is helpful, i knew what i wanted all along. i suspect most women do. :)

I try really hard to run a blog that focuses on the personalities of the people involved and on wedding shopping and wedding crafts that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life – not just stuff. I think that really helps people to see the bigger picture.

Like some people have said – a wedding blog has to be about more than just inspiration, because there comes a point when every bride (or groom) has made the decisions, and they’re ready for new things to be excited about, like their marriage…

Every time I read the phrase “it’s all in the details” my stomach tenses up a bit. I’m living overseas from my fiance right now, and we’re getting married in five months. It’s hard to stay away from the pretty pictures, but I think I do need to step back. Because even though I’d like to think that I can read them without feeling like a failure, I’m not sure I really can.

Thank you. This made me feel a lot better.

meg I love you! You lift my soul so much.
