"Confessions of a Recessionista Bride"

This came up in my Twitter feed the other day as a request to follow and I have to say, I'm totally entertained.

A newly-engaged woman has come up with a brilliant idea to raise funds for her wedding. She's requesting donations. She's got a blog, a Twitter, and a link to PayPal ready to go. No updates so far on how much she's collected, but I have to say I admire her creativity. My mom took a second job to pay for her wedding, and I'm thinking maybe if I start a fund before I can find a date, it can get the ball rolling so I'll be married before I'm 40. All of this is actually blatantly untrue, I've had two lovely dates this week. But the fund might still be a good idea. Especially since I'll be wearing shoes that cost as much as my dress. And I also anticipate them being bright red. But now I'm getting off-topic.

Anyway, I've got my own "Mama wants a new pair of Stuarts" fund that I've got to attend to, so I don't anticipate donating, but check it out! And if nothing else, donate a dollar for the sake of her creativity and courage!
