Welcome to the inaugural post for A Very Spoonie Wedding. If you aren't familiar with the term spoonie, it is a nickname that those of us in the chronic illness world have adopted after Christine Miserandino's "The Spoon Theory" from But You Don't Look Sick.
Over the next 2 years, a few of us intend to share our journey of planning a wedding dealing with chronic illness - namely, forms of autoimmune arthritis such as Still's Disease. We want to share our frustrations, our unique accommodations, and maybe in the afterglow of wedding bliss some things we would have done differently. We hope that this blog can help others planning their wedding feel not so alone and give ideas on different ways to go about this very special day in our lives that can help others.
In the coming weeks, we will be getting this whole thing put together and better organized including, hopefully, introduction posts from those of us that will be your guides into a polygamous marriage between us gals, our hubbys-to-be, and Arthur, our arthritic nemesis.
