Courtney in Community Conversations, on July 8, 2019 at 3:18 PM

Does this belt go with my dress?
Courtney in Wedding Attire, on July 7, 2019 at 8:44 PM

So I've been second guessing having some sort of belt to go with my dress. What do you think? Or should I skip it all together? Belt for dress

Getting Bridesmaids' Gifts Together
Courtney in Do It Yourself, on June 29, 2019 at 1:18 PM

I've learned my lesson with not taking pictures of their proposal boxes haha. For each of my girls I got them blanket scarves to go with their dresses. (Ignore the wrinkles, I just unpackaged them)....

Courtney in Wedding Ceremony, on June 29, 2019 at 1:31 PM

So I've been sitting over here agonizing over what to do for aisle decor. I love our venue and I know it will be beautifully decorated for the holidays so that's not the issue. But whenever I thought...

And this is why you print hard copies
Courtney in Planning, on June 26, 2019 at 4:00 PM

Went to go update our song list and found out that the document was gone! Thankfully I have a hard copy in my planning binder so I can easily retype it or make notes on that instead. Whew!

Groom’s Gift is Ready!
Courtney in Planning, on June 22, 2019 at 1:48 PM

Along with the AleHorn he ordered for himself, I threw in some other goodies. My FH is a big Green Lantern fan so I’m giving him a cool pair of socks, cuff links, and a pin. For those who may think...

Courtney in Wedding Attire, on April 13, 2019 at 8:47 PM

In addition to finding my dress today, we were fortunate enough to have everyone together so we can pick out bridesmaids dresses as well. We chose Steel Blue at David's Bridal- I was fine with any...

Welcome Sign is here!
Courtney in Do It Yourself, on June 19, 2019 at 1:31 PM

We were in the fence about having a welcome sign. But when our venue told us they had a easel free to use that sealed the deal. This will have a double purpose- the blank side will have the seating...

Courtney in Wedding Reception, on June 10, 2019 at 11:50 PM

We drew inspiration for our reception playlist from our local classic rock and top 40 radio stations along with some personal selections. So now whenever we hear a song from our playlist, my FH and I...

We ordered ale horns for our groomsmen and officiant from AleHorn.com . My fiancé picked out large tankards with the Tree of Gondor (Lord of the Rings) engraved and they turned out incredible! I...

What would you do?
Courtney in Community Conversations, on June 3, 2019 at 2:07 PM

I saw this article today, and honestly, I would laugh in my FSILs face and tell her no. FSIL asked to move date 3 months before the wedding

My band came in!
Courtney in Wedding Attire, on May 30, 2019 at 12:05 PM

Since my ring is quite simple, I wanted a band that would match that but could still be worn by itself. Ordered from the Etsy store FacetsandKarats.

My FBIL (FH's older half-brother) is going through a divorce and is making everyone feel on edge. To be honest, we get along much better with his soon-to-be ex-wife then we do him. My fiancé adores...
