Bonus pro pics / adjusting to post-wedding life
Gen in Married Life, on June 28, 2019 at 12:15 PM

SO we initially got over 1100 photos from our photographers but this morning she just sent me their “outtakes” which was an additional 1900 photos 😱 A lot of them were definitely right to take out of...

Complain, or let it go?
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on June 25, 2019 at 1:11 PM

Newlywed chop!
Gen in Married Life, on June 17, 2019 at 9:46 AM

Anyone else cut a drastic amount of hair after growing it for your wedding?! Lol. I’ve been growing my hair out for 18 months for the wedding but it’s just gotten so long and heavy and difficult to...

Strapless dress sliding down... bustier?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on February 21, 2019 at 9:53 AM

Dammit 😠. My dress fit perfectly when I got it and it’s not like my weight has changed significantly, but I must’ve lost a pound or two and now it’s a questionable fit... when I breathe deeply, it...

Gen in Married Life, on June 13, 2019 at 12:47 PM

Today is my first day after the wedding/honeymoon that I’m back at work, and these are all the things I’ve been told so far by my coworkers 😂 My boss was even like “you look so relaxed I don’t want to...

When the "rules" are meant to be broken
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on June 14, 2019 at 11:38 AM

Alright friends. Now that my wedding is over I've been reflecting a lot on some of the general rule-of-thumb etiquette rules, or guidelines of what you should or shouldn't do, and how of course...

BAM!!!
Gen in Married Life, on June 3, 2019 at 8:34 AM

I am in disbelief and pure bliss. I expected my wedding to be great, but I truly thought that expecting it to be “the best day of my life” was over-hyping it..... it wasn’t. It was the best day of my...

Share your regular-look vs wedding-look!
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on May 30, 2019 at 1:30 PM

Gen in Wedding Reception, on May 24, 2019 at 10:21 AM
