Have you met ‘A Practical Wedding’? (+ a promo code!)

When I was newly engaged in 2013, my mom heard a story on NPR about a little community called “A Practical Wedding” and immediately bought me the book. The day it arrived, I read the whole thing cover-to-cover. And if you’re newly engaged, I strongly suggest you do the same 🙂 This book, and the corresponding blog, had an enormous amount of influence on the decisions I made while we were planning our wedding. Unlike so much wedding advice out there, this book taught me to let go of the parts of the wedding that didn’t feel as meaningful, while focusing on the parts that resonated with us deeply.

Now, nearly 2 years after we got hitched, I still check their site almost daily, both because their advice extends to life beyond the wedding and because…well…I’m addicted. It’s such an incredible place.

That’s why I’m pleased as punch to be featured on the APW blog today! I hope you’ll stop on by and get to know them if you haven’t done so already. And to celebrate, you may even find a little coupon code to sweeten the deal.

A big thanks to the A Practical Wedding team for the blog feature and for the countless ways in which you supported me during the wedding planning process!
