Our Personalized, Nerdy Engagement Shoot with Trinity Photography

My husband and I love our book-themed engagement photos! I'm so glad we chose to work with Trinity Photography.

Engagement photography is a newer part of the wedding planning process that some couples choose to do. While some folks think an engagement shoot is just another expensive add-on in the extravagant wedding industry, it was one of the few things important to me. Dan and I don’t have many pictures together unless we’re all… [Read More]

Why My Husband & I Did Premarital Counseling Before He Proposed

Premarital counseling is a must before marriage, but have you thought about pre-engagement counseling instead?

On July 29, 2011, Dan and I had our first date. On October 16, Dan asked me to be his girlfriend. I was already in love with him. On Thanksgiving Day, Dan and I first uttered those three little words to each other. I already knew I wanted to marry him. On December 17, my… [Read More]

Unusual Wedding Planning for a Nerdy Couple

Your wedding should be as unique as you and your fiancé(e). What traditions are right for you? What can you do to show your personality?

I just found out on Friday that one of my best friends is engaged! Over the weekend, we chatted excitedly about wedding things. At one point, her fiancé grumbled a bit about the growing list of expensive expectations for weddings. He’s right. I’m not going to pretend that Dan and I skipped all the ridiculous… [Read More]

Site Prep with Dan // Volume 4

My dear husband has indulged me for a little Q&A on the blog

Unsurprisingly, this is Dan’s favorite part of my blog. He loves answering these questions for my readers each month! I always enjoy learning a bit more about my husband too. What is your favorite family tradition? I have least-favorite family traditions… I don’t know if I have a favorite family tradition. Going to Cedar Point?… [Read More]

Dating My Husband: Marriage as a Nonstop Adventure

Marriage is an afternoon of running errands feeling like a romantic date. It's interrupting breakfast to dance to your wife's favorite song. Marriage is finding the adventure in the everyday living.

Zpizza sent me vouchers for free pizza, but did not compensate me for this post. Opinions are my own. Marriage is so much better than I ever could have imagined. Yeah, it always looked pretty nice, but I didn’t realize how much fun it would be living with the person I love most. Considering how… [Read More]

Let’s Talk About Sex Advice (Part 1)

I've heard a lot of bad sex advice, some which can be incredibly damaging psychologically and physically.

After my posts on dating and relationships, it’s finally time to talk about sex. I cringe every time someone else peddles any of the following ideas about sex. While some of it is just annoying, other pieces on this list are downright dangerous. Note: this is all pretty heteronormative because many of these negative ideas have… [Read More]
