Hey, y’all, I have news…

This weekend, at my favorite place in the world, Brian popped the question.

I never understood why, on Facebook, people would post about their engagements with such trivial things things like, “Words can’t describe…” and, “So excited for this next chapter…” But I sorta get it now. Words really can’t describe what it feels like when he gets down on one knee. And engagement certainly is a new chapter—just two days in, things already feel different. But in the best way.

So send me your advice (and your wedding tips)! This girl’s on a budget and will be reading A LOT of blogs about how to have an affordable, but fun, wedding. Cheers!
