So, I found my dress here. The listed size is lower than I tried on, but the listed measurements are spot on. It's exactly what I want and need, and it's $400!! That's over $500 less...

And the dress saga continues - help please
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on January 20, 2012 at 1:33 PM

This past weekend I went to a trunk show with my mom and a couple of my girls. Mom wanted to see me try on dresses (I can't blame her there) and one of my girls is an excellent seamstress so she...

NWR Cross your fingers for me! First major business proposal!
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on January 18, 2012 at 4:21 PM

Aside from my being an MUA and FH working in insurance, we both have several acting jobs that we love. Two are seasonal - the renaissance festival and a haunted house - and one is year round. That's...

Cake prices
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on January 18, 2012 at 10:14 AM

My mom was in town for a few days, so we decided to visit bakeries and get info on wedding cakes so that FH and I could figure out where we wanted to book tastings. By the end of the day, I was fairly...

Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on January 10, 2012 at 11:34 AM

Yesterday I got on VP to order our new STD's since we had to change the date. When the link was posted for the freebies plus free 7 day shipping on orders over $50, I decided to find a few more...

Scroll Style Invites - help please!
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on January 5, 2012 at 3:53 PM

FH and I have been talking about what kind of invitations we want for the wedding, and one of our top pics is a scroll. With it being a ren wedding held at a ren faire, with royalty and everything, I...

Adding a registry to the website?
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on January 5, 2012 at 1:07 PM

Ok, maybe I'm just being totally dense, but I'm not sure how to add our registry to the registry page on the website. Do I just post a link, or is there something more to it?

Date issue fixed! Yay!
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on January 4, 2012 at 6:02 PM

Yesterday I had posted about finding out that our date was not available at the ren faire site we want as our venue. Today, I heard back from Holly (events coordinator) and the weekend prior is wide...

Seriously disappointed (vent)
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on January 3, 2012 at 11:49 AM

So, I just found out that the venue we have our hearts set on isn't available for the date we have our hearts set on. Apparently all of the major staff will be at a different faire that weekend...

Had to give up on the dress I found, now designing my own! *pics*
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Wedding Attire, on December 30, 2011 at 10:43 AM

A while back I posted the dress that I had found and fallen in love with. However, as planning has gone forward and I've been stressing the point that people should avoid wearing synthetic materials...

We've seen must have wedding pics - what about must have engagement pics? Let's hear some ideas!
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Planning, on December 28, 2011 at 11:04 AM

Now that we have found our photographer and know that with her prices we should be able to do the two engagement shoots like we wanted (one in regular clothes, one with a Victorian Picnic theme), I've...

Possible photographer, would like outside opinions
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on December 27, 2011 at 1:04 PM

I know this girl from the Renaissance faire FH and I work for. I'd seen her work before today, but none of her wedding photos, which I think are beautiful. I'm just wanting second opinions on her...

NWR Inexpensive, tasty finger food ideas/recipes needed!
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on December 16, 2011 at 11:57 AM

My family has an annual Christmas party we go to every year. Typically my folks get the invite and let me know the date. Because of them moving around quite a bit lately, the invite got lost and we...

Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on December 15, 2011 at 1:47 PM

So, after what seemed like an agonizingly long time, my shipment from VP arrived today!! #1 Our preliminary STD's. They were free, and if nothing else a neat keepsake, though I really, really like...

Irish and Scottish Wedding Traditions
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on December 13, 2011 at 12:26 PM

I've been researching like crazy, looking for things we can incorporate in to the wedding and festivities to reflect our heritage. Last night I came across a really amazing resource and I wanted to...

Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on December 12, 2011 at 11:55 AM

It's only the area where the reception will be, as they are still working on the area where we would like to have the ceremony, but it looked so pretty this weekend that I couldn't resist sharing. FH...

Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Fitness and Health, on December 7, 2011 at 9:36 PM

I just found a place very close to home that offers both Zumba and bellydancing for a very reasonable price, and I'm very excited! They even offer one free class. Before I jump head first in to this,...

Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Community Conversations, on December 6, 2011 at 1:15 PM

Some of you may remember the issues I've been having with FH's niece, who was going to be my MOH. Well, they aren't getting any better. On top of not wanting to have to try to rush myself in to trying...

How did you tell them? (having a panic moment)(update in comment)
Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on December 5, 2011 at 11:41 AM

Long story short. FH was unhappily married and I was unhappily dating someone when we met. Both of us had attraction, but lied to ourselves for several months that we didn't because we were both in...

Aidan (Mrs. Cowgell!) in Etiquette and Advice, on December 9, 2011 at 1:55 PM

FH and I have finally worked out a schedule for the wedding, and I was getting ready to put the ceremony and reception details on the website when I thought of something. We have the guests beginning...
