My fiance proposed on top of a mountain in New Jersey, his home state. We're getting married near Columbus, OH in August 2019. We love hiking and the outdoors. We have one dog, Dozer, and hopefully more to come once we buy a house this year!

Happily married 🎉

Hi! I’m looking into doing a DIY bouquet for me and my two bridesmaids and perhaps also some table flowers (haven’t decided yet). Where can I find good quality, low price fake flowers? Thanks!

Menu on rsvp Tool
Christina in Account Support, on September 25, 2018 at 7:33 PM

We’re not having an engagement party. Do we still need to register for engagement gifts? Do people only give these at a party?
