Hey there,

I'm Nicole! The reason for this blog is to write for my English 112 class. My professor required every student to keep up with a blog of any topic of their choice. I have never blogged my entire life or been a fan of writing. So my immediate reaction was "Oh great..." I never liked sharing my writing with others because lets just say I am not the best writer out there. This will be a new experience for me. Hopefully if  I enjoy blogging, i'll keep up with my blog after the semester is over. At first I was troubled because there are a billion topics to choose from. As I surfed the internet of what other bloggers blog about, my topic clicked like a light bulb going off in my head. I am getting hitched.

Therefore, I am going attempt to talk about my wedding and economics of weddings these days. I thought that this would be the best topic because my wedding is this Summer 2013. Combining the planning of my perfect day and having something to talk about for the next few months is like killing two birds with one stone!

So far I have learned weddings take every penny left in your pocket, organization skills, creativity, decisions upon decisions, and also an enthusiastic mother like mine who wants to be there with you planning everything from the biggest things such as the venue, to the smallest things such as pins in the brides hair-do. I want to explore and research other blogs and articles about individual elements a wedding requires. I want answers to why couples spends thousands of dollars for weddings or why women are the ones who make most of the decision making than the men. 

Also becoming married set different priorities in the relationship. It is no longer dating, it is a marriage. I would like this blog to help me research the psychological aspects of how my relationship with my husband can change and grow after we are married and live together.  

I'll have lots of planning and exploring to do, keep you all posted!
