If you started reading this blog from the first point, chronologically, you have probably noticed that everything up to this point has been a backdated post. That's because I'm just now actually starting this blog, but going forward I'll be updating it with things as they happen. In the interests of providing a more complete story about our journey from engagement through our honeymoon, and with the hopes that other grooms (and brides) might find something interesting and useful here, I'm going to create posts about all of the major milestones we've experienced up to this point.
I decided to start this blog for a few reasons. First, I'm a psychotic over-planner, which has made planning a Disney wedding both pleasant and challenging. It has been pleasant because Disney is going to handle a lot of the details; challenging because, without a lot of things to do, I'm going a little bit stir crazy. Second, I've found a lot of great resources online for Disney weddings, including blogs and podcasts, but I haven't seen very many of them from the groom's perspective. This is not shocking to me, and even in my relationship Girl Scout Fiancée is mostly in charge of the decision-making for the wedding proper. But I've been put in charge of the honeymoon, and I'm in charge of a lot of the finances and planning, so I've been a little sad at the lack of resources for me to draw upon specifically. It's my hope that any involved future grooms out there can learn from our experience. The third reason is that Girl Scout Fiancée is not going to do a blog based on our experiences, and I feel like documenting our process this way will be a nice thing for us to look back on, sort of like a wedding photo album, but with more words.
From here on, I'll be documenting our progress up through the end of our honeymoon. We are calling to book our wedding date in two days, so this seemed like a good time to start up the blog officially. There should also be quite a few more posts with thoughts, musings, and some actual personal content, as opposed to documenting the process, because I have no other way to get this kind of thing out of my system. And, of course, much of this will be coming from the perspective of a groom, so you can reasonably expect to see more posts about golf, suits, and honeymoon planning than flowers, music, and wedding dresses.
If you're thinking of getting married in Disney World, or have already started planning an Escape wedding, hopefully this blog will be of some use to you.
