About

Hey! Welcome to my wedding blog!

My name is Mary. I’m a blogger/writer/crafty girl originally from Tennessee.

I write a weight loss and healthy living blog called A Merry Life. I’ve been doing that for a few years as I’ve worked to change my lifestyle and become a healthier and happier person.

During my journey of healthiness I met Kepa, another blogger on the same journey to change his life for the better. We became friends, then more, and eventually we fell in love through video chats and phone calls.

I visited Kepa in his native New Zealand in January 2010 after months of dating virtually. It rocked and so did our relationship. We spent a few more months apart which sucked, but he then visited me in the USA and we spent a month road-tripping across the US visiting friends and family.

On July 28, 2010 Kepa proposed in the most awesome way, and I said YES!

We’ve lived together and separately (on different continents, mind you) during the engagement and wedding planning. Despite the distance and the problems we grew to love each other more.

We were married October 15, 2011 in a friend’s backyard in a casual, fun wedding ceremony that fit us perfectly. The wedding took a lot of work from us and our community but it was truly one of the best days ever.

I’m working through blogging wedding recaps, how-to posts for diy projects, and thoughts on weddings and marriage.

Thank you for visiting!
