Introduction

Hello world-

My name is Ricky and I've been engaged for just over a week. My fiance is the love of my life and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with her. (Lesson #1: If you are engaged and cannot say the same thing without having to think about it, GET OUT NOW! You are definitely not ready to go through this process.) We met during college and now are a couple of recent grads trying to survive this shitty economy. That includes trying to put together a wedding on a strict budget.

The purpose of this blog is to help other guys (or ladies) make it through the engagement with flying colors. Along the way I'll share some tips, advice, stories, and cautions as I encounter them myself. Weddings are a big deal, especially if you only plan on having one, and it is your job as her husband-to-be to make sure she gets the dream wedding she has wanted since she was a little girl (while still getting your points in).

Thanks for taking some time to check out the blog and I hope you find the answers that you're looking for!

-Ricky
