About

Welcome to the wonderful site of the wedding girl! My name is Jessica and I am from Toronto, Ontario. For as long as I can remember I have always loved and been enamoured by all things weddings. Here is the catch though, I don't want a huge, expenisive fairy tale wedding myself, that is not what it is about for me. I think the most special and amazing thing about weddings is the marriage itself. I am on a quest to bring that importance back to weddings! I have dubbed myself a "budget wedding planner", meaning I am happy to help brides with any budget, but will try my best to find ways to save you money!

I got married in June 2013 and truly the most magical day of my life! I did a lot of the legwork myself and have found a barrage of new ways to save money! I am excited that this site now has a DIY section, I will show you step by step crafts and handy tricks you can use to make your big day more you!

Lets get a little bit more personal! I am a graduate of the George Brown College- Special Events Program. I currently work at a hospital foundation and truly love the cause. I am blessed to be married to such a neat guy (haha) seriously though, married life is for me, hanging out with my best friend all the time?! Sign me up! I am a new home owner, lover of all things pink and polka dots, snuggly and cozy, crafty and fun!

I LOVE a lot of things, but I will try to keep this list somewhat short. I am a huge bookworm, I love cooking/baking (mmm cupcakes!), I love Pinterest (how could you not?!), LOVE my dog Jack, my family and friends are obvious: ) I watch a ton of TV shows and am not afraid to admit (although it is slightly shameful) that I love the Bachelor. I also really love the world of blogging. Not only has it opened a ton of doors for me, but I have e-met some really inspirational women. Check out my list below of all of my favorite blogs! If you're a blogger or thinking of becoming a blogger, I encourage you to give it a try. I love to write and this blog has been such an empowering avenue for me, I am actually working on my first novel, because of this blog! Stay tuned for more on that!
