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 🎉

Since I will be doing DIY makeup now, I need to buy some primer and new foundation! I have semi-large pores and lots of freckles. I'd like a foundation that isn't too thick and cakey, but that evens...

Let's talk eyebrows
Allie in Hair and Makeup, on June 23, 2019 at 3:39 PM

I know a lot of us obsess over our hair, makeup, and nails, but what's the plan for your eyebrows?? Is your makeup artist filling them in for you? How close to the wedding are you getting them waxed?...

Substitute for a first dance?
Allie in Etiquette and Advice, on June 17, 2019 at 9:34 AM

FH is not a dancer at all and doesn't want the spotlight on us for a first dance (I agree). We were trying to nail down a first song and just couldn't agree on anything because neither of us really...

New Marriage Laws in the state I'm getting married
Allie in Etiquette and Advice, on June 3, 2019 at 11:29 AM

Just read an article about changes to marriage license issuance and was hoping someone could clarify. What will this mean for us? Do we not even need a marriage license? We are from Mississippi but...

We don't have a registry, but my godfather wants to get us a KitchenAid mixer and he wants me to pick it out. He said there was one that comes with an ice cream attachment? If you have one, which one...

Allie in Honeymoon, on May 14, 2019 at 10:44 AM

Anyone been to Ireland before? What time of year is the best time to go? Weather-wise mostly but also for costs.
