Our Negative One Year Anniversary

Wedding Dress

As most of you know from reading this blog, I am engaged to a wonderful man, and, one year from today, I will be happily married!

That’s right, one year from today!  I’ve discussed my plans for a feminist marriage and a not-so-feminist wedding before (so go read those posts!) and here’s an update on what I’ve done so far:

  • Decided on a date and a location for the ceremony and reception.  (I will be getting married outside.  No matter what.  Seriously.)
  • Bought my dress. (*squeal*) (That picture is NOT my dress, by the way.  Like I’d put that online!)
  • Decided I will be walking down the aisle to “All You Need is Love” probably played by some sort of string ensemble.
  • Decided on colors (black and white) and bridesmaid dresses/shoes.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m ahead of the game.  Feels good!

This weekend, Tim and I have decided to celebrate our negative one year anniversary.  It was suggested by @jilliancthomas that, since it’s a negative anniversary, we should steal something from each other instead of giving each other a gift.  While I really love that idea (I’d love to steal his charcoal grill!), we decided to celebrate with a little trip.  We took a trip last year at this time to Steven’s Point, WI, and this year we will be headed to Madison, WI to enjoy some fall colors, hiking, sight-seeing, and to have my cousin, Jason, take our engagement pictures.  It will be really fun, and I can’t wait to get away for a little bit and enjoy the long weekend!  If you have any suggestions of places to visit in the Madison area, drop me a comment.  Also, I will be using Witur and their awesome iPhone app to update you on my trip LIVE!  How cool is that?  You can follow along by following me on Twitter, or by checking my itinerary directly.  You can also see my other itineraries on my Witur widget a little ways down the sidebar.  Enjoy!

  1. Hahaha…. Thanks for the name drop!! I wish I could take full credit for the “stealing things” idea, but one of my friends actually came up with the idea on her -1 year anniversary – she threatened to steal his dog, and he threatened to steal her hair straightener.

    Have so much fun this weekend, and many many congratulations, the next year is going to fly by!!
