BAM! Non-pro photos
Doublej079 in Do It Yourself, on August 11, 2015 at 12:38 AM

I'm married! My wedding week was a whirlwind - our first family members showed up a week ahead of time (DH's parents), and then more every day. I loved being able to spend time with them all before we...

Rant - wedding band
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on July 31, 2015 at 12:43 PM

My FH got my e-ring and wedding band from a jeweler he knows in Hawaii (they went to high school together in Iowa). He got the e-ring with no problems last summer in plenty of time for our engagement....

Dress alteration issue
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on July 27, 2015 at 12:20 PM

My wedding is in less than two weeks. I had what was supposed to be my final fitting on Saturday. When I walked into the changing room to try my dress on, I noticed right away that the belt had not...

Best mail ever!!!
Doublej079 in Community Conversations, on July 17, 2015 at 11:51 AM

The FedEx guy just dropped off three huge boxes - and I couldn't figure out what they were...my favors came! I know a lot of people don't love favors, but these are so us. Two years ago we had seven...

Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on July 13, 2015 at 8:19 PM

Our wedding bands came today! Actually, his band, and my running/gardening/traveling/lab days band came - my actual band that goes with my ring should be here any day now. I had them engraved as a...

Groom socks
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on July 8, 2015 at 12:12 AM

Yes, I know this is random. But I need ideas on where I can find socks that have a beer theme. FH is a home brewer, a beer lover and is brewing a bunch of beer for our pre-wedding festivities. So I...

FH and I are attending a coworkers wedding today in the 100+ heat. It's outside. I was talking to a few other coworkers yesterday, and they said the venue really doesn't have shade and there is no...

My weekend DIY!
Doublej079 in Do It Yourself, on June 21, 2015 at 10:25 PM

I am so happy with the way this turned out - my inspiration pic is in the comments. I wanted this but couldn't justify the cost or time involved in doing it with real flowers (these are all silks...

Hair trial - not too shabby.
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on June 15, 2015 at 12:30 AM

So I had my hair trial today (it was a debacle yesterday- but they made it right, comped my trial today and gave me a lovely gift for the mix up), and hours later, the hair is still good to go and not...

Hair mess up - what would you do?
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on June 13, 2015 at 3:17 PM

We are having a semi-DW (about 4 hours driving from where we live). Yesterday we left after work to spend the weekend in a hotel over here and get some plans finalized, including my hair trial at 12....

A totally different RSVP nightmare!
Doublej079 in Planning, on June 9, 2015 at 8:59 AM

I ordered my invitations months ago - my FMIL actually paid for them, and they were printed through a local shop in their hometown. They are beautiful, of great quality, and I love them. Small...

NWR - Sciatica?
Doublej079 in Fitness and Health, on June 8, 2015 at 10:16 PM

So I have had back problems for a few years (stemming from a herniated disc), but for the most part, I am pretty successful in staying active and dealing with the pain. right after it happened, I had...

Vent - weddings aren't the only reason for a Gofundme!
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2015 at 5:18 PM

So...I work with a guy who got married about two years ago. He and his wife both had kids before meeting each other (3 total), and got married fast because she got pregnant. So, 4 kids total. Then at...

Make up trial today
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2015 at 1:51 AM

I had my make up trial today - so happy with the outcome! Love my eyes, love my lips (wasn't sure about lipstick, I don't normally wear it), and I'm really pleased with the subtle contouring she did....

Semi-DW - do I need a steamer?
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on May 29, 2015 at 1:30 PM

Quick opinion needed...even if I get my wedding dress professionally steamed, it's going to get wrinkled (our wedding is about 3.5 hours away, and we're leaving midweek - I'm thinking of an additional...

FH ordered my wedding band today!
Doublej079 in Wedding Attire, on May 27, 2015 at 12:25 AM

So he apparently forgot my size (he could have asked the jeweler, but whatever - he's a dork sometimes), and had to ask me to make sure. But anyway, I am so excited - it's soooo very pretty! My ring...

Doublej079 in Do It Yourself, on May 25, 2015 at 1:40 AM

Doublej079 in Do It Yourself, on May 18, 2015 at 2:48 PM

KWR - Gofundme is out of control! (Kind of turned into a rant, sorry!)
Doublej079 in Community Conversations, on May 17, 2015 at 10:56 AM

So I've seen the posts of the Gofundme accounts for weddings, and I've only ever seen a friend of a friend do that. Today on my Facebook feed, a former student of mine posted a link to a Gofundme for...
