First time bride with an encore wedding fiance. We're both into boating, so we're having a nautical wedding at the yacht club (where we met). He proposed to me while on the way back from a fishing trip, so I was wearing fishing waders and was covered in fish slime when he proposed! (How romantic!)

Happily married 🎉

Husband Likes Oral, but i don’t
Cathy in Married Life, on December 14, 2019 at 12:59 AM

I just can’t get into it. I’ve tried, but the entire concept of putting his member into my mouth turns me off. All other intimacy is fine, but he and I can’t get past this. help?

What Are You Doing with your Wedding Cards?
Cathy in Married Life, on November 15, 2019 at 2:16 PM

Some of the cards we received are really beautiful (like the high end ones that are hand made). Hubs was saying "just dump them." I've been scanning them and I plan to put them into a photobook that...

This question is specifically for people whose culture has them living at home until they get married: have you ever felt a bit lonely or displaced after your marriage? My husband and I work different...

Cathy in Etiquette and Advice, on November 1, 2019 at 11:46 AM

One of our guests gave us a beautiful handmade sampler with our name on it. The problem is, they got the wedding date wrong, we want to display this, but how is the best way to do so? Every time we...

First Wifely Mess-up
Cathy in Married Life, on October 23, 2019 at 11:15 AM

Ugh. So, I've been married for a week, and was doing laundry. I put a load of light clothes in and made sure to do it on the delicate cycle because my husband had his nice shirts in there. Well, there...

Gifts? How Long?
Cathy in Etiquette and Advice, on October 21, 2019 at 5:10 PM

Out of curiosity, how long do people have to send gifts or cards to the newly married couple? Is it still the one year?

Feeling Nauseous
Cathy in Community Conversations, on October 12, 2019 at 11:19 AM

Please tell me it is normal to feel like you want to puke the morning of your wedding. I was fine last. Ugh the, but now I feel sick to my stomach. No, I’m not pregnant.

Get it over, already
Cathy in Family and Relationships, on October 9, 2019 at 2:02 AM

Ugh, I just want this over with! So, the reception venue finally gave us the final cost, which was way more than we expected. I tell my FH this, and then he starts yelling at me, as if I have any...

Do you put the bride and groom’s names on the seating chart if the chart already has their names at the top?

Returning Duplicate Gifts
Cathy in Etiquette and Advice, on October 4, 2019 at 7:47 PM

How do you go about doing it tastefully? I got 2 of the same gifts, and I already sent thank you cards. One came from Amazon, the other was from a store. No gift receipt came with the store one. I’ll...

Feeling Unloved By my Friends
Cathy in Community Conversations, on October 3, 2019 at 6:21 AM

Maybe it’s pre wedding jitters, but I’m just really bummed that none of *my* friends could come to my wedding. All the friends attending are in Fh’s side. I have a very small circle of friends, and...

Blasé about Beauty
Cathy in Hair and Makeup, on October 2, 2019 at 11:08 AM

Honestly, hair and make up is the furthest thing from my mind right now, but everyone keeps telling me I “have to look like a bride/“ I had my hair and make up done as a bridesmaid for my friends...

Wedding Announcements: Yay or Nay?
Cathy in Etiquette and Advice, on September 25, 2019 at 5:58 PM

My parents have a bunch of friends who didn’t make the guest list cut, partly because I am not close to these people. Should we send wedding announcements, or not? FH says “no.” I have no clue.

Has Anyone Ever Dyed Their Dress Post Wedding?
Cathy in Wedding Attire, on September 24, 2019 at 10:14 AM

I was thinking of dying mine a light blue color. I realize that the lace overlay will likely dye a different shade than the rest, but I still want to do it, partly because I want my money’s worth out...

Cathy in Parties and Events, on September 23, 2019 at 11:05 PM

Semi rant time. My shower wound up getting canceled because no one could come (no one wanted to drive 70 miles to the hostess’ place), and the bachelorette party was canceled too because no one could...

Cake Topper--making Sure to get it Back?
Cathy in Wedding Reception, on September 22, 2019 at 6:54 PM
