Love Doesn’t Happen by Accident | Alyssa’s Engagement Story

We were engaged on our six month anniversary at my favorite spot on the beach.  It rained on that day, and it was freezing cold. But it seemed to fit the theme of our relationship: things not going quite to plan.

I’m Not a Princess. This Ain’t a Fairytale.

Like most of you, I love to watch rom-coms. I’m not the biggest fan of the Hallmark channel, but my parents are in December and February. My personal favorite movie is 10 Things I Hate About You, but I am definitely a sucker for the storylines in The Notebook, The Longest Ride, The Proposal, The Lucky One and plenty of Disney favorites (I am a proud Disney fanatic, no shame). But friends, we need to WAKE UP.

When All You Want for Christmas Is That Special Someone

At Christmastime especially, I can find myself dreaming about what it would be like to have that special someone. We all have a desire to be loved, and this desire can show up even more at this time of year. We like to indulge this desire by filling our time with over-romanticized forms of entertainment.
