Two households, both alike in dignity . . .

. . . In fair Savannah, where we lay our scene.

(OK, quoting Romeo and Juliet is probably a big wedding planning no-no. See how clueless I am?)

Before we delve into the intricacies of handhewn invitations, mermaid style dresses versus A-line, and the subtle differences between being flat-broke and being desperately broke, I thought it best to offer you our story's SparkNotes.

The Setting
Our humble apartment in Savannah, Georgia, on a street lined with magnolias.

The Cast

Charlotte (Yours Truly)
Lover of words, the ocean, cooking, organizing things by color, and indie music. M.F.A. candidate in writing at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Freelance writer, editor, and wordsmith -- say, you should hire her!
Nathaniel

News videographer by day, independent filmmaker by night, and all-around good guy. Tall, dark, handsome. Quoted as saying, post-proposal, "Now you [Charlotte] can do the rest of the planning, right?"
Lolita

Our little adopted mutt. Enjoys long walks, ear rubs, and anything beef-flavored. Reduces household stress by curling up in obliging laps. Increases it by eating underwear. Over-all, hard not to love.

The Goal

To plan the perfect wedding with no experience, no money, and no stress. And to tell YOU all about it!
