In a number of my posts, I've mentioned that FH and I are actors. One of the regular gigs we have is with a local interactive murder mystery troupe (think live action clue), and we have a big show...

After a lot of schedule juggling, we have finally decided on a date, April 14th. My two Aunts and Uncles along with a second cousin and her SO are hosting, so I know it's going to be an incredible...

So, I've been working out more and watching what I eat the last few weeks, and have been a bit disappointed by the results thus far. About three pounds in as many weeks. Today my man of honor and I...

My mom wants an app to track wedding budget stuff, and to be honest, I don't need my mother getting on here. Can anyone suggest a good, free budget app?

I've been crazy busy this weekend (and FH has been hogging the computer, lol), otherwise I would have posted it sooner. Some of you may remember a previous post I had about FH and I possibly getting a...

I know I've seen a lot of ladies here say they love yoga and are doing it to get in shape for their wedding as well as to handle the stress of planning and I wanted to share something I found. I...

That post and the hysterical video got me thinking about our do not play list, and I thought it might be funny (and possibly helpful) to see what other folks have on theirs and why. People who don't...

FH and I just started watching what we eat (calorie counting), working out etc. So far, so good but tonight the munchies have attacked with a vengeance. I keep telling myself " think of the dress!",...

FH just called me on his lunch break to let me know that he got the quote from a performing duo we really, really want for the reception/after party. They are Drunk and Sailor, and we know them from...

Just found out that if all goes well, FH and I will be moving in to a new apartment come March 1st! Money will be a little tight, but it will be worth it! We've been living in an efficiency with...

I finally found my scale the other day, and while I knew I had put on some weight, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Last time the scale and I met (end of last summer), I was at 147 and dropping. Now,...

FH and I are going to view a potential apartment tomorrow. It's in a much better part of town, 2 bedroom, heat included in rent and they have a move in deal running that is too good to pass up. It's...

My mom and I have been talking decorations, and I love the idea of kissing balls. A while back I made some a while back with tissue paper and I was pretty happy with how they turned out - until I went...

We finally found our invites (I love VP!!), and now I'm working on the wording. The only thing I am stuck on is the reception info. Our venue is huge (several acres, most of it used) and the ceremony...

*resists the urge to make an Elmer Fudd joke* So, I was going back through photos taken of me in my dress at the trunk show, and realized that I didn't love the veil as much now as I did then. I...

I found a beautiful veil, brand new with tags, on preownedweddingdresses.com that I love, and for $75 with an original price of $169 (bought as a gift and the bride eloped!), but it's a...
