I am a little bit strange and I'm marrying a man who is also a little bit strange. We've been together since July 2011 and live in a nice little house where we raise our 3-year-old fur baby (Swedish Vallhund named Floki) and drink craft beer like snobs. I'm trying to lay off the caffeine before the wedding.

Happily married 🎉

What don't you care about?
Alysia in Planning, on March 29, 2018 at 1:13 PM

Going through the process of planning a wedding is... interesting. I'm not gonna lie, I go on Pinterest and see these awesome ideas and just know I want to steal some. And then there are those things...

Processional order?
Alysia in Wedding Ceremony, on August 8, 2018 at 9:27 AM

I'm having a bit of a hard time with my processional order. Originally, I was going to have my FH and the groomsmen walk down the aisle when coming into the ceremony, but FH decided that he doesn't...

Vistaprint envelopes
Alysia in Planning, on May 23, 2018 at 9:48 AM

I just received my invitations from Vistaprint and I think they came out beautiful, but I feel like the envelopes are super thin. Thin enough that I can see the design on the back of the invitation...

Not-exactly-impulsive Invitation Ordering
Alysia in Do It Yourself, on May 10, 2018 at 1:11 PM

I took advantage of Vista Print's 50% off sale yesterday and ordered my invitations and RSVPs. The issue I had was that my invitations were formatted in different sizes than Vista Print offered, so I...

Wording wording wording
Alysia in Etiquette and Advice, on May 3, 2018 at 9:46 AM

I am working on invitations (OMG I'm working on invitations!) and I want to mention both my mother, who is co-hosting with us, and my FH's mother, who is not contributing to the wedding. Right now, my...

Can't stop listening!
Alysia in Planning, on May 2, 2018 at 7:14 AM

Is anyone else finding themselves listening to the music they've planned for their ceremony/reception over and over? I keep playing the songs while sitting at my desk and smiling like a crazy woman....

Thoughts on after-parties
Alysia in Planning, on April 26, 2018 at 9:47 AM

One of our groomsmen asked us where the wedding after-party will be. Since we only live 20 minutes from our venue, we're planning on going home after the wedding and taking care of our dog and didn't...

Should i say anything to my bridesmaids?
Alysia in Parties and Events, on April 19, 2018 at 9:35 PM

I feel silly even asking for opinions here but I’m going to anyway. My bridesmaids are planning my bachelorette party and they’ve been asking me for ideas and running suggestions by me. I don’t mind...

Padded longline bra
Alysia in Wedding Attire, on April 11, 2018 at 7:29 PM

Ok, I’ve searched and searched and gone through forum history and I can’t find a good answer. I need a padded, strapless longline bra for my dress. When I lost weight, it ALL came off my chest and I...

Paper dahlias
Alysia in Do It Yourself, on March 27, 2018 at 11:02 AM

Curious to see if anyone has any practical tips here. I have fallen in love with the look of paper dahlias. Has anyone made these for their wedding? Did they hold up ok in bouquets or centerpieces?...

Rehearsal Dinner
Alysia in Parties and Events, on March 21, 2018 at 9:38 AM

My FMIL has graciously offered to host our rehearsal dinner for us. Now I'm stuck in my head. I originally wanted to have our wedding at a brewery, since FH and I are big into beer but I decided it...

moh being unnecessarily negative - mini rant
Alysia in Family and Relationships, on March 22, 2018 at 10:47 AM

My older sister is my MOH. For a little background, she is married but decided on a courthouse wedding, which was absolutely her right. Now, she's been super excited about my wedding and wants to...

Not having your father by your side?
Alysia in Planning, on February 26, 2018 at 11:59 AM

My dad passed away 11 years ago, so he obviously won't be at the wedding, and never got to meet my FH. Weddings are feeling more and more father-daughter heavy the further I get into planning, so I'm...

Wedding party attire
Alysia in Wedding Attire, on February 15, 2018 at 10:28 AM

I've told my bridesmaids that they can choose whatever black dress they like for my wedding. I will be going shopping with them so I have the option of vetoing anything that I feel is too revealing...

How many flowers do i really need?
Alysia in Planning, on February 7, 2018 at 9:23 AM

So, I sort of feel like a wedding isn't really a wedding without some kind of flowers, but at the same time, I don't really love flowers... and my fiance kind of hates the smell of them though he is...

Alysia in Massachusetts Planning, on January 8, 2018 at 10:32 AM

Hi all, New here! My fiance and I are starting our planning, aiming for an early September wedding. We've kind of got our hearts set on Southwick's zoo for the ceremony and reception, but I was...
