How did I come to write this blog, you ask? Recently engaged, I found myself in the throes of uncharted territory: trying to plan a fun, unorthodox wedding with a budget that could rival most grocery budgets for the month. I found myself rebelling against everything that was deemed ‘normal’ after finding out how much a traditional wedding disgustingly costs. YUCK! I was ready to jump into DIY wedding mode and, thankfully, my amazing fiancée agreed. We easily made the decision to have the wedding WE wanted: one that screamed Dustin & Mimi. 

I gladly put on my nerd glasses and started researching and then kept on researching (i <3 researching, *sigh*) and I found some really cool sites, interesting ideas, great deals, and surprising results. I kept on thinking, man, I wish I could share what I’ve learned with all brides and grooms. In my days and days of probing the Internet, I’ve discovered everything from where to find unique, green wedding rings to how to plan an all-out theme wedding to the answer to what is cheaper? to rent or buy tablecloths (answer coming shortly) and so on… Basically, I just want to share my knowledge so here I am. 

OK – well I have just about a thousand thoughts running through my head about what to write next so make sure to subscribe to read more!
