First Post

I got engaged in August 2008. My finance Shawn and I quickly agreed on two major things:

1.) we’d get married in Toronto
2.) the wedding would take place in the summer of 2010.


Since then I’ve started, and stopped, wedding planning multiple times. The reason for this is the lack of solid, usable, online wedding resources. Sure, there are tons of blogs and sites out there but I’m finding that most of them offer advice that is obvious, non-applicable to me or not really advice at all.


I want solid facts, numbers, names, opinions and reviews, both positive and negative. And I want that information to be relevant to me and my situation. I don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a wedding but at the same time, this is going to be my one and only wedding.


I want it to be nice and I don’t want to find myself looking back and going, “Damn, I wished I’d sprung for the….” I also want my wedding to at least be somewhat green and ethically responsible.


So I’ve decided to try and help fill this knowledge gap on “common sense weddings” with this blog. I hope you find it useful and let me know if there’s anything that you’d like to see me mention.
