Disappointed with my mini-moon
Capt&MrsMatey =) in Married Life, on September 30, 2013 at 11:08 AM

I'm realizing now that after our 8/16 wedding that we probably should have spent more time away from home instead of rushing back after 3 days. School & work started back up a week afterwards & it's...

Bachelorette party was last night & I made many mistakes; none of them permanently detrimental, but still. I scheduled my nail appt 1 1/2 hrs from home when I needed to be relaxing & prepping; instead...

I was pretty down today, just completely exhausted, when i remembered i needed to get on the computer & pare down our reception playlist. I went on overkill & put aside 5 hrs of music without really...

Sorry ladies, its another rant. I'm still waiting on 15 ppl to respond & we hit the less-than-2-wks mark today. The date we set was yesterday & even one of the people we didn't invite til a couple of...

Wedding stress :(

I've been having a wrist pain problem for a few days & for a few days about a month ago. It went away on it's own last time but I was starting to wonder if there was something more going on. Came into...

Capt&MrsMatey =) in Do It Yourself, on July 31, 2013 at 4:40 PM

I never would have thought of this, but my photographer did another wedding & changed her FB cover photo to a mason jar with what looks like wisteria blossoms & lemon slices in the jar with the water....

Capt&MrsMatey =) in Married Life, on July 24, 2013 at 7:35 AM

For the record, this pic is making me LMAO We had a discussion yesterday about how soon after the wedding we want to start trying for our second child. Our son is 4 already (i'm 24) & FH said that he...

Causal seating @ reception vs. Placecards
Capt&MrsMatey =) in Etiquette and Advice, on July 25, 2013 at 7:39 AM

Our reception is in a national park, very secluded and quiet, so I never thought of having assigned seating. Most of the people attending get along and the others can honestly suck my big toe and stay...

FFIL health concerns :( UPDATE!!!

FH got a call this morning from his grandma that his dad went into the hospital over the weekend. He's got diabetes, had a stroke a couple yrs ago & is a workaholic, so everyone is automatically on...

Back on the wagon?
Capt&MrsMatey =) in Fitness and Health, on July 16, 2013 at 4:43 PM

Remember how nervous i was about my dress not fitting, after months ago being too loose? Worry no more. It's as snug as a bug in a rug. That thing isn't going anywhere, even though I am the exact same...

Possible Post-Reception Drama (hope not) Ideas?
Capt&MrsMatey =) in Etiquette and Advice, on July 15, 2013 at 11:48 AM

In a conversation with my father this morning, I'm starting to wonder exactly how we will wrap up our reception. Recap: reception is in the national park under shelter (they give us the keys to open &...

How to convince FH we should hire a photographer?!?
Capt&MrsMatey =) in Planning, on July 5, 2013 at 6:57 PM

I'm @ my wits end. When we first started planning this wedding, we had discussed hiring his friend from college to do pictures for us for...dirt cheap honestly. FH nixed the idea, saying that it was...

Capt&MrsMatey =) in Planning, on July 11, 2013 at 3:07 PM

A few wks ago, i inquired of you ladies if i was overreacting to FMIL sending her RSVP's to FH only. I let that one go & tried my hardest not to obsess over it. About a wk after we sent invitations,...

FMIL contribution/Etiquette?!?
Capt&MrsMatey =) in Etiquette and Advice, on July 5, 2013 at 5:31 PM

Today I got a text from FMIL asking if she could "get my hair and nails done for your big day", which is great but the cynical part of me starts to wonder: Why contribute now? We don't have the best...
