Why am I staying in Charlottesville for the summer, you may ask?
WELL.
Let me fill you in.
This summer I will be interning with a local wedding planner. While that may seem kind of random, I'm quickly learning that I love it with my whole heart. I mean, I have always loved weddings. I was a "junior bridesmaid" in my cousin's wedding many, many years ago, and I think that's when my obsession began. Last year, my love for weddings was re-sparked when I started doing some serious wedding blog stalking. And now that I have Pinterest, well, I guess you could say my obsession is signed, sealed, & delivered (a song I've recently decided will be the last song played at my reception).
I've worked one wedding so far and done a few other random wedding things (location tours, etc). I think Steve Martin sums up my thoughts pretty accurately:
Now while I knew weddings aren't super simple, I didn't always realize the immense amount of planning and behind the scenes work it takes to make such a magical event. And though the planning and set-up are grueling (a wedding day is basically 14 hours on your feet. And yes, a few of those hours are spent in heels), the moment everything comes together is so, SO worth it.
I look forward to sharing some experiences with you throughout the summer and I can't wait to see what the next few months hold!
Hope everyone's summers are off to a fabulous start :)

I'm jealous...this is the one job that it may actually be okay to spend hours on Pinterest for! Keep us updated :)
