Surprise

Have I told you about A practical wedding before ? It is the one wedding blog I still religiously read every day. I guess because it is not really a wedding blog. Or it is, but it is so much more than that. There is Meg, who started it, with all her smart and sassy complaining back when she was wedding planning and then it became something else. Something much bigger. There are the fabulous Lauren and the funny Alyssa behind the scenes. And there is a huge circle of women navigating around it and supporting each other. Like Alyssa put it best about one week ago:

"APW isn't just about weddings, and that's what keeps everyone coming back.  It's an examination of, and conversation about, what it means to be a woman within the context of women who are getting married.  It's about being in a relationship and navigating the bumps and bruises that come with loving someone.  It's talking about the things that life likes to throw at you. It's about enjoying the joy in other women's lives and sharing in their happiness.  It's smart, sharp, funny discussions and, occasionally, pretty pretty pictures."

 And guess what? I am over there today ! Telling you how our wedding felt. I wrote about it on the first weeks after the wedding, because I wanted the emotions documented when they were still fresh. I am kind of jumping up and down. So before you head over there, I want to congratulate our dear Hanna, who just got engaged THIS morning. Yay :) So Hanna, now  you've got some (smart) reading to do over there. Wishing you both all the best !
