What a day! Yikes!
Crystal L. in Wedding Attire, on August 10, 2015 at 10:38 PM

So, the rehearsal went really well this morning. We did the rehearsal at the same time that we'd be having the ceremony, as to plan for lighting and where the sun would be and all that! It wasn't too...

Crystal L. in Wedding Attire, on March 1, 2015 at 4:12 PM

I know it's usually feel good Friday, but, after crying for what seems like most of the day, I really needed a feel good story today, and this was a really cute one that I thought I'd share....

Any cold sore remedies?
Crystal L. in Wedding Attire, on August 2, 2015 at 12:03 PM

Yikes! I had nachos for dinner last night, and they were kinda salty, which I know can cause cold sores, so I tried to take it easy on the saltier chips. So, what do I wake up to this morning, 10 days...

A very nice lady gave me this mirror to use for while I'm getting ready! It is a beautiful, full length mirror with a really pretty design! The drawback was that her teenage daughter had painted it...

Place cards
Crystal L. in Wedding Attire, on July 15, 2015 at 2:47 AM

We are not having "assigned" seats, and are just allowing the guests to sit wherever they like. The only problem this poses, in my head, is people finding a seat and then getting up to go to the...
