Hi!! I'm marrying the love of my life on August 31st 2019. It will be an outdoor wedding in the mountains (God-willing). I am a mechanical engineer and he is an electrical engineering student (graduating in May, yay!). We met in an intro to electronic circuits class and the rest is history.

Happily married 🎉

Allie in Hair and Makeup, on April 4, 2019 at 10:38 AM

Dark circles under my eyes have always been a big problem for me. In high school, doctors said it was because I was anemic. But my iron levels have been really good lately and I'm still having this...

Crate and Barrel Registry
Allie in Registry, on April 3, 2019 at 9:59 AM

Has anyone used Crate and Barrel for their registry? They always pop up on my Facebook Ads and I LOVE their stuff, but I've never ordered anything from there. Is it good quality stuff?

I really thought I wasn't going to have to deal with this, but here I am. I am having a relatively small wedding and am unable to invite a lot of people. Mostly second cousins in my family aren't...

Glassware for bar
Allie in Wedding Reception, on March 14, 2019 at 10:14 AM

So we recently found out we will have to provide the glassware for the bar. And it also has to be plastic because there is a waterfall at the venue and they don't want broken glass in it. We will be...
