Hello everyone! My name is Alex. I married my high school sweetheart on October 5th this year. It was magical! It was Beauty and the Beast inspired with gold, rose red, and some blue. Planning was a little stressful at times but it came together and we had a beautiful wedding!

Happily married 🎉

Just ranting!
Alex in Etiquette and Advice, on September 5, 2018 at 8:24 PM

I just need to rant a little bit. It felt like we were so close to being done and now all these things keep popping up. We paid off the venue today but now table/chair linens are not included. Even...

Alex in Fitness and Health, on April 20, 2018 at 6:15 PM

Drinking enough water is so important... But I never drink enough and I need to change that. What are things you do to make sure you are drinking enough? Is there an app you use or maybe a water...

Does anyone else second guess themselves??
Alex in Planning, on April 24, 2018 at 12:56 PM

I think I've found the hair and makeup artist I want to go wit. She does amazing work with high quality products and is affordable. And I was so sure that's who I wanted! But now there's a part of me...

i know I'm being unreasonable
Alex in Family and Relationships, on April 23, 2018 at 8:47 PM

So I texted my cousin who is the MOH to see if she wants to get her hair and makeup done and I'll pay for it. And she wants to know the woman's name and she'll check her out. An absolutely okay thing...

Airbrush for me and regular makeup?
Alex in Etiquette and Advice, on April 18, 2018 at 11:48 PM

Hello! I'm just curious if it would be super rude if I got airbrush makeup and then my girls got the basic makeup? It's not that much of a price difference but it would save a little money.... But I...

Alex in Etiquette and Advice, on April 18, 2018 at 8:09 PM

Alex in Do It Yourself, on April 1, 2018 at 5:11 AM
