Just a bit of fun here! You can have an unlimited budget, but only for one thing. What would you choose to get? Custom-designed Dolce and Gabbana gown? Twelve course meal by a celebrity chef?...

I just submitted our final numbers to the venue, and they made a comment about how it was smart that we had reserved the bigger one of their private dining areas after all. It made me remember that...

I want to preface this by saying that my mother is a really nice woman at least 98% of the time. We don't always see eye to eye, but I can and do see that she usually has the best of intentions. That...

Not wedding related, but I'm so happy I had to tell the world! My brother and his wife have a little girl, but due to complications in my SIL's health during and after that pregnancy, her doctors...

I have an absolutely beautiful wedding dress that I love. I also have a problem. I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I've posted about this before, but it's an autoimmune condition that causes unsightly,...

I was happily browsing the headpieces post (beautiful stuff btw) and then I realized, I forgot to buy a headpiece!!! I have no idea how this happened. I have my dress, jewelry, shoes, cute little...

As some of you know, I've been hospitalized with DVT. I am probably going to be just fine, but I keep thinking about all the brides posting about nervously starting birth control for the first time,...

Very exciting day today for my FH! I've mentioned before here that he was adopted as a toddler, but I don't think I mentioned that he's spent some time doing research into his biological family. About...

I could use some ice-cream advice! We're doing formal plated desserts and cake at the reception, but our afterparty will have an ice cream bar. The crew (afterparty is on a boat) says they'll buy...

I know there are some very creative chefs here and I've got some great recipes off the cooking posts, so I thought I'd try my luck. I have a friend with a duck pond who is going to give me three...

Not really sure what to do about this. My FH isn't really into lacy garters or leather corsets. He's one of those guys who thinks a woman looks sexiest wearing his old football jersey or a cami and...

I just got an email from some old friends of mine who've been in a LTR for a while. They've decided to get engaged! As far as I can tell, they are the NINTH couple who initially hooked up at my 23rd...

Has anyone ever taken a course in how to do this, or do this as a hobby? My florist and I are becoming good friends and she's told me a bit about her training. There is WAY more to building floral...

Today is my grandmother's 88th birthday. And tomorrow is her 70th wedding anniversary. I just find that absolutely amazing in so many ways. She doesn't remember everything as sharply as she used to,...

My FMIL is having a milestone birthday in two weeks (she'd get pissed off if I wrote her actual age - lol) and I want to do something special for her. The whole family will be taking her out for a big...

I don't know if I've mentioned this here before, but my FILs have been very active in the foster care system for most of their adult lives. Both my FH and his sister were adopted from the foster care...

Thank every deity there is! A really nice young couple who are expecting a baby have made us a good offer, and we've accepted. We were expecting our little one when we bought this place, and it's a...

That your FH/FW might be the one? My FH is in the backyard play-wrestling the dog, despite it being late and freezing because he feels like he hasn't had any quality "Spotty Time" lately. And it got...

Hopefully this will be the last of my menu posts! I feel like I've been planning this one meal for years! All our mains come with sides, but we have some extra money in the food budget so we've...
