Samoed Spirit

I write about what lies behind the pretty picture. The wedding industry is full of tempting ideas, but not all of them are equally good—and certainly not for everyone. My goal is to show the pros, cons, and alternatives of popular solutions so you can make an informed choice. From engagement ring trends to ethical questions about "traditions"—I examine what wedding planners don't always talk about. I believe that a truly beautiful wedding is one where beauty doesn't come at the expense of common sense and responsibility.
