Salutations and welcome to my brand, spanking-new blog!
I have another blog about putting a positive spin on things called 'Trying to see the Funny Side'
Yet this year my energy will be focused on something pretty special.
I'm getting married.
Oh yes! In October I'll be somebody's wife, Mr. Ree's wife to be specific. We're both out and proud nerds. Our apartment is full of all things lego, comics books, video games, movies and wrestling related paraphernalia.
You may have guessed that our wedding probably won't be too traditional.
Like many other young couples, money isn't exactly plentiful so we're going to have to get creative to make the money stretch. Apparently the average Irish wedding costs between €19,780 and €22,280, depending on where and when you choose to tie the knot. Our budget is a fraction of that! Throw in a healthy dose of nerdiness and nods to our Scottish and Irish heritage, this could get interesting!
So looking forward to the musings and progression of a nerdette wedding. As for budget well who needs one when you have the love of your nerdy dude :) and people coming who are all out to have the fun-ist (is this a word?) celebrating the joining of your love. That doesn't cost $22k! Here's to an exciting 2013 for you, I had mine in 2012 ;). Your Down Under Ant! (Eeuugh hate creepie crawlies)
ReplyDeleteNerd love forever! :P If the budget doesn't come together then we'll probably just sneak off to a registry office in our nerdy garb. We'd still be just as married as those who spend lots more. Looking forward to seeing you and the whole clan. The creepy crawlies are a lot smaller this side of the pond! :)
