...love eternally
with your heart facing me.
---
so yes,
my blog is all about weddings, and everything involved.
my hope is that i inspire not only brides for their weddings,
but vendors as well with ideas for their clients.
but while newly engaged couples get wrapped up with the wedding planning,
they tend to forget what else there is to look forward to after their special day.
what really is the real reason why their wedding is taking place.
marriage.
and as fate would have it, making things happen brought to light an amazing being.

and as a result...

What exactly is Love, Milk and Honey?
Love, Milk and Honey is a multi-faceted online community that strives to inspire and encourage couples as they walk through marriage.
What's the story behind it and why did you want to start Love, Milk and Honey?
Although I have been in the wedding industry for 4 years now I have never felt centered in my company. I knew love was what drew me to the industry but I couldn’t help but feel that it was the exact thing getting lost in the shuffle. Love, Milk & Honey was born out of a desire to put the focus back on the marriage.

What do you hope to accomplish with Love, Milk and Honey? Or what do you hope readers get out of this site?
Couples journeying into this particular life change are all too often ill equipped to merge their lives in the way a marriage requires. This BlogSite will help ease that transition and give couples a resource to learn from, a community to gain encouragement from and a place to connect with each other on a deeper level. This will not only appeal to newlyweds but couples from all stages of marriage that need guidance throughout their journey. For me, it is a place to be transparent and honest with others with the hope to connect and create a community with people all over.

Why would you recommend newly engaged couples to read it, even if it's geared towards newlyweds?
No matter what stage of marriage you are in, I feel that you can always benefit from guidance. Challenges are bound to surface and, to me, it is much easier to overcome those obstacles if you surround yourself with others that are like-minded in their commitment to marriage and are willing to challenge you to press on and grow. That is exactly what Love, Milk and Honey can do for each reader as they become intentional with their place in the community.

What has been the best thing ever since starting Love, Milk and Honey for you?
Love, Milk and Honey has truly caused me to look at my life in a new light. Every day has become an opportunity for me to learn, grow, observe and share. It has made me so aware of my surroundings and the way I choose to embrace them. Such a blessing to gain a new perspective from time to time.
so without further ado,
head on over!

I just discovered Love, Milk & Honey a few weeks ago and it is already one of my favorite sites! I never thought I could feel love, encouragement and comfort just by just going to a site on the web, but LM&H def accomplishes this!
I love LM&H! Great post & interview, Lydia :)
A great feature on a great site. Well done!
