CountingDowntoMrs in Planning, on July 28, 2017 at 12:27 PM

Possible trigger for anyone who has lost a best friend. FH lost his best friend a few years ago; they'd known each other since diapers. They'd also talked about whenever they got married, they'd be...

Hair and Makeup Trial - pic heavy
CountingDowntoMrs in Wedding Attire, on July 23, 2017 at 5:09 PM

We're going to lower the hair next time so it has more of a down, pulled to the side look. Other than that, let it roll! ETA: we updated the hair and took new pics because it was hailing and we...

Should I Buy This?
CountingDowntoMrs in Community Conversations, on July 20, 2017 at 9:46 AM

I mean, I wouldn't even have to pay for shipping since it's on a local wedding resale page. (Note: totally joking. Eye roll.) ETA: honeymoon = one word. I don't know what exactly a honey moon is, but...

CountingDowntoMrs in Etiquette and Advice, on July 17, 2017 at 12:36 PM

Our BP is fairly small - 4 on each side, including family. Our wedding is semi-DW as well; it's about a 5 hour drive. Our guest list is around 90; expecting 60-70-ish in attendance. So, we're doing a...

CountingDowntoMrs in Planning, on July 17, 2017 at 11:01 AM

Ok, I am questioning myself constantly on this. Where are the appropriate places for commas? What about appropriate capitalization? Ignore the awful print out, please. This is for grammar/editing...

CountingDowntoMrs in Community Conversations, on July 16, 2017 at 11:33 AM

Ok, so I am still swirling with excitement over our day yesterday, and thought I'd make a Sunday funday post over it. I surprised FH yesterday with tickets to a Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood...

CountingDowntoMrs in Planning, on July 11, 2017 at 12:58 PM

I've seen a ton of people talk about ordering these, but have not seen anyone actually have reviews or photos after the wedding. Does anyone who has used one already have any thoughts to share? Or,...

CountingDowntoMrs in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2017 at 3:37 PM

Hi, girls! I don't know anything about my shower other than that it's lace and pearls themed. (My hostesses are amazing! I'm so very lucky!) I am looking for an ivory or white, lace dress. It'll be...

Questions for Officiant?
CountingDowntoMrs in Planning, on April 20, 2017 at 4:35 PM

We have our first meeting with an officiant from our church tonight. (Huge church. FH knows him well, though; I've met him a few times - enough to know he has a great personality and way with words.)...

Indecisive Bride Needs Decisive Help!
CountingDowntoMrs in Style and Décor, on April 19, 2017 at 12:02 PM

I am at that point where I can't make up my mind on anything wedding related. Awgh! I am normally such a decisive person in both career and personal life, but apparently, not about wedding things!...

Mori Lee - ivory over caramel? DRESS pics included!
CountingDowntoMrs in Wedding Attire, on April 2, 2017 at 10:27 PM

Has anyone purchased a dress in this combo? I tried one on today, and can't decide if it would lose some of its allure in ivory only. But, it looks almost brown in a few photos. I think I may need to...
