We're here because he popped the question....but how did he do it? And did it go perfectly? Is it something you'll always remember? FH took me to a local restaurant (that may be our caterer now) and...

We've decided on a smaller wedding, something vintage-themed, so I thought, perfect! Our museum district rents out their Victorian historic mansion for events like weddings, and it's super affordable!...

I'm totally with the whole getting-better-healing process, and want FH to be happy and involved in planning our life together versus being stuck states away picking out invites via text photos. But...

FH was just notified by his doctors today that if he doesn't have epilepsy, and instead has this super minor thing that is 100% treatable/curable (next week's tests will show if he does or not), he...

I just got my free samples from minted.com, and one of the paper options is Museum Paper, which is like a thick cardstock (think printed plaques in a museum exhibit). Has anyone had or seen...

Every place we can afford is booked through November, and every place with a spot open requires us to use their caterers, which is where we can't afford them. I looked at a hotel today that, if they...

Before I forget, I wanted to share some potentially money-saving beauty tips (I say potentially because this is location-dependant): -If you have a cosmetology school within a 25 mile radius, use it!...

Fh finally told his parents we're getting married....and they were pretty cool about it! He said they told him they're going to focus on his health and don't want to hear anything about wedding plans,...

I am on an extremely tight budget, so my dream venue is out of question (just to rent it alone eats up my entire wedding budget of $3-$4k). We want to have the ceremony and finger-food...

Had to have a slight panic-scream-fest for a moment.....when I went to check my shrinking checklist for February, it was suddenly March....and DOUBLE what I had a few hours ago! I feel like this...

There are so many pros and cons to ordering or DIY invitations, so I wanted to ask you awesome brides, real actual people, what your wedding invitation experiences were/are. Did you order or DIY? Are...

So I was thinking this over the other day, and felt like this could be a really good forum discussion: what made you want to get married versus just living together indefinitely? For me, I grew up...

He's currently in the hospital awaiting tests to see if he can get an MRI done.... Lately he's been having severe seizures almost every day, which hasn't happened to him since he was a small child. He...

Fh was discharged from the hospital today with a clean bill of health! Thank you so much to everyone for all your thoughts, prayers, and advice. It really means a lot to both of us, especially him....

If we don't get floral pieces for our parents (all seven), we can get our wedding flowers for under $180 (bride bouquet, MOH bouquet, groom, best man, flower girl petals, unity candle). If we...

I want fresh flowers. In my dream wedding, it's just filled with fresh floral arrangements, even the walls are dripping in petals! Now I know reality has diminished that quite considerably, but I...

I didn't even know how to begin to Google this.....lol! I have my birth father, my last name is my adopted father's (Mom's second husband), but I am super close with all three of my fathers (Father,...

So my recent post about long distance relationshipping, as well as planning a wedding in another state? Just found out, he's moving back!!! His insurance was denied for his stay because of how awesome...
