On Tuesday my childhood BFF, whose parents are close friends with mine--my dad & her dad share a lab in the bio dept at a university; we call each other "surrogate families"; she's listed as my sister...

I asked both my sisters to be BMs when we got engaged in February & both said yes. Since then, sister #1 (S1) has been AMAZING and sister #2 (S2) has been a NIGHTMARE: first she sent me an email with...

Just for a little back story, FH & I are both graduate students--he's a physicist and I'm a sociologist. For Halloween we went as the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, a supervillain duo from the cartoon...

Just wondering what sparkling wines/champagnes people have chosen for their receptions! Last year, FH and I discovered an Australian sparkling rose, Pink (the vineyard is "Yellowglen"), which we...

I know traditionally the BMs throw the bachelorette, and one of mine is hosting it, but I don't want to ask her to shell out for it when she's already paying to attend our DW. So I went ahead and...

So I know that HLS was posting earlier about what might be an ulcer (let us know what the doctor says!); I just realized that one reason I've been getting canker sores like crazy for the past two...

We ordered custom engraved flasks for the wedding party last month. Since then, one person suddenly bailed out of attending, one of the BMs (who admittedly had been honest that she wasn't sure she...

FH has been having wedding nightmares for a week already, but I just started 2 nights ago. Hope this doesn't keep up for the entire next 7 weeks....1) I was getting married, but it was to an obnoxious...

So the WW iPhone app updated itself last week, but personally I see NOTHING different about it, and it's still not very useful as far as I can tell! Does anyone actually use it regularly and/or know...

So I just filed my pre-application for our marriage license--Las Vegas has such a booming wedding industry, you can file up to 60 days in advance and go to an "Express Window" to pay and pick up your...

I am so grateful for my youngest sister (professional event planner). Last month she tracked down a restaurant in Overton, NV (closer to the Valley of Fire than Vegas) that had done catering for...

So I'm planning to get a gel manicure the week of the wedding here in town, so I don't have to worry about getting it done in Vegas. I want to get a pedicure, too, and they do gel pedicures, but I'm...

We're having a DW in Vegas, and so we asked that people not bring gifts to the wedding itself. We just received our first gift from our Amazon.com registry, and I plan to write a thank-you this...

I think I've mentioned before, I teach at the college level--I'm a graduate student, so I switch off being a lecturer for my own courses and a teaching assistant for professors. Is anyone else a...

When we first got engaged, I immediately called a friend I've known since we were 4 to ask if she could come, & if her 8-year-old could be the FG. I told her I knew it was a long shot bc it's a...

So I just saw the first item purchased off our registry (yes, I am too curious for my own good, I know), but I wanted to share that Amazon.com's registry makes it SUPER easy to do thank-yous--in the...

1) FMIL sent my parents a card bc they've never met (will meet for the first time at the wedding). As noted, I've been a bit concerned that my mom will get ticked off & run her mouth. I made a point...

So I recently booked a team to do the BP's hair (they come to the hotel, no extra $&dollar, & I have a question. It will run between $240 & $300 for the entire BP's hair--mine...
