New Series!

July 14, 2011

Over the past year, I have had a number of people ask me for information about the details of my wedding or for advice in planning their own. While we all the know that the marriage itself is the most important thing, I don’t think that means that the wedding itself is not important. Whether you visit the courthouse for your wedding, get married on a sandy, remote beach in front of only your closest relatives or throw the a huge ballroom shindig, I think the wedding day is important as you publicly make a covenant before God and your spouse and join into the marriage relationship. And it doesn’t matter if you spend $500 or $50,0000 on your wedding (just please have a good photographer there to document it…please…). I am going to spend the next few weeks sharing some of the favorite parts of my wedding with you and offering you some tips I picked up along the way and even some things I would change if I could do it again.

However…just a disclaimer…I would never do it again. There are some girls (supposedly… I don’t think I know any in real life) that dream of having their wedding over and over again, re-planning all the details in different ways. Some girls remain addicted to stylemepretty long after their own wedding has ended. While I think stylemepretty is the number one wedding resource on the web and, yes, I was moderately addicted to the site during my own wedding planning, I weened myself from it in the weeks leading up to the wedding when I really didn’t need any more ideas or inspirations.

Although I am not a wedding addict, I am a wedding lover. I love a joyful, fun wedding that is a true celebration of the goodness of marriage. Marriage is good. It should be celebrated, and I want to help you do just that… so check back next week for more wedding details!

    I totally agree about not wanting to relive my wedding. I loved it, I loved planning but I am happy with just having the one, once! I look forward to this series though because your wedding was beautiful! Hope you're enjoying your vacation!

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
