90 day slump
EmilyJ in Planning, on February 9, 2016 at 7:48 AM

Is that a thing? Because it should be a thing. I've had zero motivation for anything wedding related. They sent my invoice in, have not signed it, I have to add a small flower arrangement and have not...

Honeymoon reassurance.
EmilyJ in Honeymoon, on February 7, 2016 at 4:46 PM

So I am really procrastinating the honeymoon. I always thought we'd go on an all-inclusive, but I don't know! FH and I are not really beach people, and the whole set up just seems so...fake. And while...

Bridezilla moment: brace yourself.
EmilyJ in Planning, on February 4, 2016 at 10:28 PM

My FMIL sent me a text yesterday that she "doesn't really get my shower invite list" and to type it up again for her. Whatever, I did, it's cool, I'm swimming in spare time (oh wait). So then FH asked...

NWR: what is up with my laptop??
EmilyJ in Etiquette and Advice, on February 4, 2016 at 11:32 AM

Calling all computer people. What is my laptop doing? It's not even 2 years old! It just keeps restarting over and over and giving me this pathetic sad face. Gahhh ETA: it's hard to read, so it says...

100 day mark, what's up? Everything seems to be coming together, now it's time to deal with the little things, timeline, logistics, who goes where when. I'm much better at bigger things so this is...

A rant in sleep loss and mistakes
EmilyJ in Planning, on February 1, 2016 at 12:47 PM

So I woke up at 2am last night with the sudden realization that we have a live violin player to play through cocktail hour and dinner. And the DJ is not showing up until 7. Well dumb dumb Emily just...

Surprise! Someone else planned a bachelorette for me.
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 31, 2016 at 9:46 AM

So...I know I've been over posting, but hear me out on this one. I was out with some of FH's friends last night and it gave me some time to catch up on one of FH's friend's wife. For the sake of...

Ugly crying
EmilyJ in Etiquette and Advice, on January 29, 2016 at 4:54 PM

How the hell do you just not ugly cry during your entire wedding?! I just read the lyrics to my best friend's father daughter dance and I'm sitting here with tears. That's not even my own. I don't...

Calling all foodies. Help please!
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 30, 2016 at 9:26 AM

I just got back my invoice, and I have an option to choose one of three filet choices to actually be served at the wedding. My dad is interested in the last one, but he is also the only one in my...

Invites are in!
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 28, 2016 at 5:38 PM

Yayayaya. My wedding invites came in the mail today! Too bad I got them shipped to my MOH's house because she wanted to mail invites for my bachelorette, and I just decided to save on shipping. I may...

-inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale-
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 29, 2016 at 7:44 AM

So a week or so ago I posted about my FMIL throwing me a shower, but just being really bad at timelines, planning, and just...getting things done. Well WW, she just ordered my invitations. Ordered....

Largest wedding you've been to
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 28, 2016 at 9:02 AM

I made it exactly one hour into the pointless internship before I made a thread. I feel so accomplished! What's the biggest wedding you've ever been to? Today I was thinking about a good friend's...

Sometimes you learn things in Grad School
EmilyJ in Community Conversations, on January 27, 2016 at 5:14 PM

Learned something new in class today! According to the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory, which is a list of 43 stressful life events mental health providers can use to assess illness relating to outside...

Theme of the night? Am I missing something?
EmilyJ in Etiquette and Advice, on January 27, 2016 at 9:00 PM

There has been a lot of posts today that have eventually mentioned "well if your parents are paying, what they say goes" Is it bad that I completely disagree? I mean to an extent...obviously. If...

FSIL date
EmilyJ in Etiquette and Advice, on January 25, 2016 at 10:16 AM

So due to the budget and small guest list, plus ones are extended to only serious relationships (married, engaged, living together). Well my FSIL identifies as asexual and mentioned wanting to bring a...

On a mission...for sage
EmilyJ in Wedding Attire, on January 24, 2016 at 6:50 PM

So back in my young foolish carefree days of wedding planning, I wanted to be the cool bride, the whatever bride. So I told my maid of honor (the only one standing up with me) that she can just get...

Invite RSVP
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 24, 2016 at 8:50 AM

Finally bit bullet and ordered the invitations. Goodbye money! Silly question, but do invites go out 6-8 weeks before the rsvp due date or the wedding? I'm clearly overthink everything. I have my rsvp...

Wedding Brain
EmilyJ in Community Conversations, on January 23, 2016 at 5:21 PM

I know pregnancy brain is a thing, but anyone here convinced "wedding brain" is too? Here are some things I've done over the past few months that I can only blame wedding brain: -yesterday I got on...

Do we drunk post?
EmilyJ in Community Conversations, on January 23, 2016 at 12:17 AM

Tonight FH and I split a bottle of Pinot and plugged our phone to the surround sound and made our "must play list" by dancing hardcore in our pjs to "Shots," "Get Low," and "Sexyback." Also, My...

Interesting idea
EmilyJ in Planning, on January 22, 2016 at 12:37 PM

So menu picking was amazing. My venue has their own garden, so you pick what foods you want, but they decide how to prepare it that day based on what's fresh! So my wedding is pretty small 60-70...
