Budget Brides Unite

This afternoon after work I went to a late lunch with my friend and coworker Samantha. Sam got engaged back in April. Check out her beautiful ring:


The two of us have been excitedly planning our weddings and dealing with the same decisions and obstacles over the last few months so we decided that it was time to get together and bounce some ideas off of each other. It was so nice to have someone to talk to who understands and is going through the same things. To avoid becoming that annoying girl who always talks about her wedding, I make it a point not to mention any details in conversation unless asked about it. With Sam, the topic of our weddings is always on the table and rather than being an arena to go on and on about them, our conversations are platforms to help each other out, get excited about our big days, and compare ideas to make our events extra special.

Both Sam and I are definitely trying to pinch every penny when it comes to our weddings so the best part about our conversations is sharing with each other ways to cut corners and make things easier on our wallets. I was so excited today to hear details about her wedding plans and I look forward to our future planning adventure together.

Sam is a total sweetheart and so is her fiance Matt. I've known Matt since we both got hired at The Cheesecake Factory together almost 6 years ago. Samantha and Matt have been together for two and a half years and they are so cute together.

Congratulations you two!
