This engagement announcement cracks me up:
I'm excited and happy, don't get me wrong– it's just that the thought of planning a traditional wedding makes my brain scrunch down into my neck. I would make a terrible spy for a lot of reasons, but the biggest reason has to be that any amount of invaluable information can be extracted from me simply by handing over a Modern Bride magazine and telling me to make shit happen. I'm not religious, I'm not detail oriented, I have the attention span of a shark at the bottom of a waterslide, it's just not my deal.

Thanks, Ariel. Not only is that engagement announcement hilarious, but I'm glad I found her blog–I found myself snorting and howling at every third sentence.

What an enormous compliment, thank you! So funny, because over the weekend I was thinking that Offbeat Bride is going to be what keeps me sane for the next year.

I love the finger trap idea. I had been wondering about what to do besides flowers.

I think my favorite part is the reason she's considering changing her last name. xo

Oh Erin, thank you, thank you, thank you for making me less like a freak. We're 7 months into an engagement (which happened after 8 years) and 9 months from the wedding and the squee people are driving me mad.
I'm not alone. All is right with the universe. YAY!
