If you have just set a date for your wedding, then maybe this is the place for you. Everyone thinks that their wedding is special and with good reason...it is! From this utterly subjective point of view comes the reasoning behind my desire to tell our story. We're doing all of this planning and decision making via long distance, which squarely puts much of the wheeling, dealing, time, and running around on my shoulders. This does make our courtship and planning quite unique. That's just the way things are when you're a unique couple.
If you read about how we met and subsequent posts about our courtship, then you'll understand our singular situation. However, putting all of that aside, I'm also a bit convinced that we're not so conventional.
First, how many men can claim that their wives come home from work in combat boots and camouflage, and have the skills to field strip an M-16 assault rifle? On the other side of the coin, she would say, How many women out there have a husband who loves to cook and go shopping for furniture and household accessories? Not to overuse a word, but it would seem that uniqueness begets uniqueness.
Although she is stationed in Texas and I'm still in New York, she is from New Jersey, and therefore the wedding will take place in New York, which is the reason why it's going to be a groom planned wedding. Yes there are many trials, tribulations and difficulties, but if we can do it so can you. Let's just say that this is a small piece of inspiration for those of you out there who have just begun or are thinking about starting your wedding plans.
