It’s Here

Wedding5

I know it is bad luck to show anyone before the wedding..so I can’t. (you can barely see the top)

But, after a much stressed pruchase and stupid company…misguided service and a bunch of hogwash…today a package the size of a sweater in a plastic bag showed up at work.

Believe it or not, my dress was squeezed in it. All the girls at work took it from me and opened it..I was too nervous. We all went into the one closet here at school and put it on. I stood on a chair so the muck from the floor wouldn’t get on it.

There were no mirrors so I have no idea just how it truly looked beyong pictures. It was a bit big, but nothing we can’t get fixed…also affixed to the front was a turquiose blue stone…which we cut off…but beyond that…absolultely perfect.

You can see it in December 🙂
How do you build a life around adventure and travel?

Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had honest conversations about what they want from their lives.

What does an adventurous family lifestyle actually look like?

Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation.

How do you balance adventure with stability for kids?

By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.

What has travel taught your family?

That people are fundamentally similar across cultures. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.

How do you handle the pressure to live conventionally when you have chosen differently?

By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life.

  1. Hi,My name is Marie and I found your website while googling Wedding Street in Seoul. My fiance and I live in Hwajung and I'm looking for a wedding dress. I've been reading about how Wedding Street is not all it's cracked up to be and I saw you had posted on another website how you ordered yours from DHGate…I found them also and was worried about their service before paying for a dress I can't even see without buying. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you so much in advance,Mariehttp://nickandmariegotokorea.blogspot.com/

  2. Nicole, Thank you so much for letting me know about your dress! I took it into consideration but ultimately my Korean friends helped me meet up with a wedding company here that will make my dress. I hope your wedding is wonderful and that your dress is perfect! :)Marie
