What we picked, what it cost, where we got it. Real numbers, real sources, the parts that didn't work.

Real budgets, real timelines, the line items nobody warns you about.
One object at a time. Where it came from, what it cost.
Fewer steps than people think. Drugstore prices, six-year products.
Longer reads. The thinking behind the spreadsheet.
We write for the person planning a real wedding with a real spreadsheet. The friend who hosts eight people for dinner on a Tuesday because the tomatoes came in. The one who'll tell you the tablecloth cost $34 at HomeGoods and the candles are from Trader Joe's, three for $4.
The promise is small. Every story has a number. Every product has a price. If we can't tell you what something cost, we won't pretend it doesn't matter.
