We made 120 bottles of BBQ sauce today!! I'm so happy that our favors are finished! FH's favorite BBQ sauce recipe. Worked all day to get the sauce made & bottled. I printed the labels, but still have...
I certainly had a grand awakening as to what was most important about our day - we got married! I am going to start with everything that was went right, because that is truly what we want to remember...

FH had a significant amount of cash on him when he went to work on Monday because he planned to pick up my wedding gift after work. At some point in his day he dropped his wallet at work. Security...
So, I have posted a rant before when my FMIL announced a few months ago that she is also getting married. She picked her date to be 2 weeks after our wedding, and said she understands if FH and I...
Guest list total: 356 Total attending at final count: 187 People still saying they "might" come, but aren't sure...WTF? People "changing their mind" as of this weekend - after we have paid for them: 8...
FH and I bought a small (inexpensive) thank you gift for our Pastor to give to him on the wedding day. Our Pastor is not attending our RD where we will present other BP members/family with gifts. Is...
So I just read the vague post about stressful planning when people don't act right. I have had a lot of "people don't act right" throughout my planning, and times I seemed so stressed I might have a...
FH and I applied for our marriage license last night. I think this is the most excited I have been through the entire process! It just got real...really real... Thursday is the only evening that the...
I waited to do a BAS post so that I could include both showers at one time. My aunts hosted the first shower for family, and my MOH hosted a shower with friends/coworkers that were invited to the...
I hope I'm not duplicating, but I did look for recent discussions before posting and thought it had been awhile since we checked in. I am at 60% RSVP's received as of today. Of the responses received...
I have tried really politely to let her know I have wedding plans under control, and her ideas just aren't fitting into our plans. She seems to take it well, but the bad suggestions/etiquette just...
I am attaching my inspiration pic for the hair. The stylist did not do such a great job getting the hair to look like the picture, but she took her own photos & made notes to change things for day of....
Before mailing invitations I contacted some people to be sure they did not move after STDs were sent. Including the family members below...who said nothing changed. One of FH's Aunts & 3 cousins (her...
I have seen lots of brides wearing white dresses for their bridal showers. I am not a fan of white - what is your opinion of this dress for a bridal shower?
Let me start out by saying when we started planning our wedding last year we did NOT budget for a hosted bar. We planned on a cash bar for alcohol and hosting a variety of non-alcohol beverages. We...
When I went dress shopping I took pictures of one of the "no" dresses. It was strapless and had a corset back, which were 2 things I said I absolutely did not want for my dress. The beading/details on...
We are DIYing our favors (bottled BBQ sauce) and I wanted to get these started soon. When I went online to order the bottles we will be using there is clearly savings in per unit cost when you order a...
