Wow! What an AMAZING day today has been. After spending last night celebrating Toronto Pride with some of my favourite people, I woke up this morning to the incredible news of America (finally) legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states. I've honestly cried about 5 times today after reading and seeing the amount of support and joy all over the world today.

Toronto has been beaming with Pride, sparkles and rainbows for forever and it is even more so on this amazing day in history.

This is huge. Remember this moment forever, because history was made today. We are changing the world! Love is love. Love always wins! It's beyond incredible the change that is being made and that we are supporting love in every single aspect and capacity.

I am so proud today! We've been living for 10 years in Canada as a country that supports same sex marriage, and it's about time that America started living the same. I cannot wait to celebrate love tonight and this weekend with my friends and family.

Love Wins!!!

saving up for my dream wedding - Marriage X Meridian

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

I had the most amazing jam-packed weekend of fun. I am ready to take on this week and how do I say it? Get shit done. Now that the venue is booked and the date is set, we definitely have a few more things to knock off our list in the next month or so. 

One thing I really need to get sorted is our budget for everything beyond the venue. I am looking forward to taking part in a twitter chat (one of my new fave things by the way) hosted by Meridian all about finance when it comes to getting married.
