FH left yesterday for Navy officer candidate school, and my usual calm demeanor remained through all of it - no tears, just a little choking up at one point last night - until I missed his final phone...
More marriage-related than wedding-related, but anyway... There are several factors that have gone into this, but FH and I decided that it would be best to move me out of my parents' house and into an...
Wasn't about the actual day, but I dreamed I went for my final fitting to bring my dress home, and my dress looked completely different! As in, the style had been completely changed from a simple lace...

I had my second-to-last dress fitting today! The photo is from when I bought it since I didn't get a photo today at the tailor because I went by myself, but I'm so happy with how my dress is turning...
Just venting because today was super stressful and FH is 4,000 miles away. In the past month, both my aunt and my dog died, I found out my mother is more conniving than I ever dreamed and that a good...

So I love puns, and I saw an STD design awhile back that was basically a visual pun, and I adored it. Today I finally got myself to Hobby Lobby and bought the cord in burgundy and a small-enough hole...
I got blindsided by drama... My bridal party consists of my 2 sisters, 2 cousins, 2 friends, and FH's sister, and on his side, 5 friends and my brother. It's uneven, and I mentioned the situation to...
