I am 52 years old, and a mother and grandmother. My daughter is 29, and she has a 3-year old daughter whom I love more than life itself. So, 3 years ago I became a grandma, and despite my worries about being old, it's the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Now, I am with the love of my life and about to get married for the first time!! I am from the SF Bay Area (all my life) and work as a legal secretary for the past 30+ years.

Happily married 🎉

Ok, so this question could be for any sort of travelling, not just for honeymoon. I'm wondering whether I should go through a travel agent when booking our trip, or just do it myself. Normally, I...

Meal Choices for Buffet
Cristy in Wedding Reception, on January 7, 2019 at 6:34 PM

I tried finding an answer to this question on the forums, but everything there seems to deal with plated meals. I'm offering a buffet, with 2 or 3 entree choices. I'm thinking the venue will have to...

Postponing the Date
Cristy in Planning, on December 18, 2018 at 12:18 PM

Hi all, more of a rant here, since the decision has been made. I'm sad to say that we have decided to postpone about 9 months. Several reasons: medical issues, job changes, changing financial...
