Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! As you can see from the banner, this is a Lord of The Rings, Jane Austen, Medieval, Regency, Vintage and Fantasy inspired wedding blog. I love weddings, especially theme weddings that focus on lovely traditions and styles of bygone days. I have considered becoming a wedding planner for some years now, and perhaps this will be the start of it for me. I hope to provide inspiration, information and ideas for many people, whether you are planning a wedding at present or not.


For those of you who are wondering what is meant by the name of this blog, I will give a brief explanation. "I plight thee my troth" is a part of traditional wedding vows used for centuries. It is still present in the vows of the Roman Catholic Tridentine Nuptial Ceremony. It is also present in the vows of some protestant denominations. The word 'plight' is defined as; "To promise or bind by a solemn pledge, especially to betroth."  Troth has a similar meaning, and comes from the Old English word for truth. So when a Bridegroom says to his Bride (and vice versa) "I plight thee my troth," he is pledging his lifelong loyalty and fidelity to his bride.
I prefer this form, and I'm going to have my own wedding ceremony someday in the Tridentine form.

I hope that everyone who reads this blog will enjoy it and find it inspiring, I will do my best to update often and present wedding theme inspiration boards!

Also, I owe a lot of my own inspiration to my friend Rachel. She has been doing this sort of thing for a few years longer than I have, and she has discussed these things with me rather extensively. She has sent me so many wonderful links to various sites and photos of many, many lovely wedding related things. Thank you so very much Rachel! ♥

I wish you all blessings and joy as you plan your big day or simply dream about it happening in the future!
