One Year of Blogging : Readers Tell us Why They Read So You’re EnGAYged

A BIG thanks to Michelle for the kind words about So You’re EnGAYged. Celebrating one year of blogging, it feels so good to hear from our readers. So Michelle is getting a little love too- a starbucks gift certificate to show our appreciation. BTW…go check out her blog Pink Broom.

Happy one-year to your blog! I think I’ve been reading it since it began.

I love this blog and look forward to its posts every day. My fiance & I are a straight couple. Of course, why should that keep me from reading SYE? I love the ideas here, the sentiments expressed, and of course all the real weddings.

We are an interracial couple; I’m black, he’s white. When my fiance was born, interracial marriage was illegal in many states. I’ve spent a good portion of my life fighting racism in every day life, but falling in love with my fiance was the easiest, most natural thing in the world. It’s a shame that we live in a world where the expression of that love could be judged by someone else.

In light of all that, I love that SYE does such a great job discussing LGBT issues as they relate to weddings, and, unlike many wedding blogs, keeping the focus on what matters: love, marriage, and the intention to start a life together. Thank you for being a bright spot in the wedding blogosphere.
