Details make me swoon, happiness makes me emotional.
Every since I can remember I have had this love for weddings.
I have been obsessed with wedding photography for years.
I peruse more weddings diy blogs than I have fingers and toes.
Except I'm not one of those girls that has her wedding planned out, nor really any of the details. I know what I like, but I evolve daily and when I share my life with someone my likes and compromises will be shown.
But that is another tangent.
This story has to do with my best friend, Lauren Parker. We have been besties since we were 6 and have been through a great deal. When we were seniors in highschool we somehow decided to look at wedding dresses or maybe it was destinations. Either way, where is the best place to start anything wedding oriented?
Bingo: The Knot.com
About 5 years ago, Lor and I created my Knot website. In which I completely forgot about and had just assumed I had randomly been on their mailing list until I started receiving random email notifications saying things like, "Have you picked your location yet," "Are you still planning on a 2010 wedding?" "Now that your married, tell us about your venders."
That's right folks, Lor and I actually started putting together my profile 5 years ago. And set my date. I can now vaguely remember saying, "That's in 5 years, I'll for sure be married by then."
As for Ryan, I have no idea who Ryan is but I'm sure that Lor and I chose a generic name because there was always that possibility. Please tell me, who does this"?
We even went as far and chose that I would be married in Orange County, makes sense right? Cliché, that I almost don't date to say the phrase.
Ring before spring...
And according to my wedding date, I should be married for 35 days now.
Five years later, I am 22 years old. I am not married and am perfectly content with who I am and where I am going.
That's not to say that I will never get married but why rush?
As for this, I'm going to continue my lifestyle and peruse some more wedding blogs and photographers.
Here are some of my faves:
They are adorable and have taken some of the most breath taking photographs I have ever seen.

Love Love Love his creative eye. He is such a whimsical photographer with a great eye for detail. He builds the picture beautifully.
He creates. This photographer has talent and a Jack of all trades in the photography scene. When he shoots weddings, his plays around with his surroundings. He does all sorts of film and has a great documentary eye. I love his candid shots.
There are only a few and I highly recommend that you take a gander into these photographers minds (blogs). Cheers.
