Top Ten Blogger Brides Posts of 2009

I was recently perusing Get Married and came across an article reviewing the top ten Blogger Bride posts of the year. As you may or may not be aware, I am a Featured Blogger Bride on their blog. After viewing the article, I was shocked and thrilled to see that one of my posts came in 5th! See the complete list of top ten Blogger Bride posts here.

The Blogger Bride post of mine that was listed in the top ten was called This Is YOUR Wedding: Do Things Your Way, and it received such a great response that it inspired a series I started called Going Against the Grain. This was the first post in the series in which I wrote to remind brides that their wedding is a special celebration of the union between them and their future husband, and it's important to remember to do what makes you and your groom happy when planning your wedding. I found that when families get involved and begin to share (or in some cases, demand) their opinions and ideas be included in your wedding, that it can be really easy to succumb to the pressure and lose sight of the vision that you and your groom had for your wedding. So this post served as a reminder for myself, and hopefully other brides out there, to remain true to yourselves and do things your way, even if they include some unconventional ideas!

And finally, congrats to all the ladies who made the top ten this year! I'm looking forward to more great posts from them and everyone else in the New Year!
