Before starting allthingsbloggedandbeautiful I was a serial blog stalker for almost a year and soon realised that my favourites were the ones where the blogger's personality really shone through.
On that note I thought I'd share a little bit about me...so I started with the usual 'I'm Rachael, I'm 27...' and then I figured it might be more fun to post 20 little facts about me. So here goes!

Hi Rachael,
ReplyDeleteThe picture of you and your BF is utterly adorable. I met my husband online, too. We didn't meet on an online site - it was just a regular message board.
I love this post! It's awesome to get to know a little about the person behind the blog!

I really like the idea of being a wedding planner too- I love reading wedding blogs and seeing how people do it differently. Also VERY jealous you got to meet McFly, I'm a little bit in love with them!
ReplyDeleteI love getting to know the person behind the blog too :) xx
