About the Authors:

Meet Mel: I’m a late 20-something bride-to-be, living in Florida with my awesome guy and sweet Boston Terrier pup!  After being engaged in January 2009, we had several life changes happen including a relocation, starting a new business, and new job so we decided to put our own wedding planning on hold.  We have set the date for May 26 (our dating anniversary), 2011.  We plan to marry in California so we’re now in search of a perfect location with a beach backdrop! We know with plenty of planning, patience, and love, we’ll be able to create a perfect oceanside wedding fairytale!
