Mom hired a piper!
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on February 17, 2015 at 6:53 PM

I am so thrilled I can hardly contain myself! I was actually going to have a big yard sale so I could hire one for the wedding but she told me yesterday she put a check in the mail on Monday. He will...

October 2015 brides - Anyone else worried about how unseasonably cold it has been?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on October 4, 2014 at 11:00 AM

The high today is only 49 with high winds and drizzle. This same time last year it was 80 and sunny, the year before it was 77. My wedding is next year on the 10th and I picked that date because for...

Invitations - The unexpected money pit
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on February 2, 2015 at 5:52 PM

So I took advantage of a few free samples last week on invitations and they all came today. Of course I fell in love with a particular one - one that is MUCH pricier than I expected. I went ahead and...

I had my first "wedding dream" last night - it begins...
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on January 30, 2015 at 5:27 PM

I always thought it was a bit odd that brides had dreams/nightmares about their weddings until I of course had one last night. This was the scenario: I was in a wedding rehearsal for some other girl...

Happy news! FH and I picked out his ring yesterday!
GrayCatVintage in Community Conversations, on January 25, 2015 at 4:27 PM

I met a jeweler at a bridal show a few weeks ago and decided to make an appointment for yesterday. As it turned out, they were having a 20% off everything deal which was amazing for new bands. FH...

My dress will not be fitted until a month before the wedding :(
GrayCatVintage in Wedding Attire, on January 16, 2015 at 8:55 PM

I am starting to stress a bit over the fact that my dress will not be fitted until about a month before the wedding. My dress was pre-owned and while I think it will be amazing once it is altered, it...

Not giving a hoot about invitations? Anyone else go "quick and cheap"?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on January 12, 2015 at 7:00 PM

I need to get the ball rolling on StD's. I will probably make them myself with Vista Print since they always have sales/super deals. First, does/will it matter if the StD's match the invitations or...

Is your mother standing up with you after you walk down the aisle?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on January 4, 2015 at 2:44 PM

Well it seems now that I might only have one BM - my cousin. My best friend informed my mother via FB (after my mother prodded her with a message) that she had a bunch of excuses and will probably not...

Updo's for thin hair - I am at a loss here
GrayCatVintage in Wedding Attire, on January 1, 2015 at 6:39 PM

I never went to prom or have had anyone ever "do" my hair. In fact, the first time I had someone other than myself cut my hair in 12 years was this past summer. Well when I had my hair cut the...

GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on December 30, 2014 at 6:37 PM

Okay. My mom is ready to buy a MOB dress, now, 10 months out. Her reasoning is she wants a seasonally appropriate dress and does not want to be jacking with searching for one in the summer. Okay, that...

Bagpiper instead of music for walking the aisle
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on December 22, 2014 at 7:10 PM

My whole family on both sides are Scottish. FH's family is not. The other day I was talking to my mom about how much I hate the wedding march and was thinking of something different for walking down...

Anyone else dodge a bullet by passing on a vendor?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on December 14, 2014 at 9:54 PM

Oh man. This weekend a relative to someone in our wedding party posted their wedding photos taken by the photographer I initially wanted to hire for my wedding. I am so glad I trusted my gut and went...

Did you stick to your wedding timeline? I am worried things will be rushed.
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on December 12, 2014 at 11:20 PM

I am just curious if you as a bride or a bridesmaid were able to stick to your timelines as planned? We keep going around and around on a start time because everyone keeps on saying "such and such...

Anyone bought their dress/MOB dress at Nordstrom Bridal?
GrayCatVintage in Wedding Attire, on December 9, 2014 at 5:51 PM

For some reason, my mom does NOT want to try on dresses - but at the same time she wants to purchase one quickly. She wants to make sure she gets a "fall dress" and does not want the hassle of buying...

GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on December 4, 2014 at 12:49 AM

With a damn ear infection. Yep, like a 6 year old would get. Everyone at work has been sick and passing around every illness you can imagine. On Thanksgiving morning my ears had some issues (which I...

Engagement Photos are HERE!
GrayCatVintage in Community Conversations, on November 21, 2014 at 9:19 PM

I am THRILLED with how they turned out. I was so worried we were not going to capture the essence of fall because we waited until late October to take the pictures. Not only was it 75 degrees and...

Buying BP gifts on Groupon? Are you doing it?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on November 22, 2014 at 11:07 AM

I am seriously considering buying BP gifts on Groupon this week because the deals are so amazing. I do not want to get them "strictly" bridal jewelry but perhaps something nice to wear on the day if...

Did you ask your FH for input/to plan the honeymoon?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on November 12, 2014 at 7:24 PM

I will not know until after the first of the year if I will be able to ask for time off for a honeymoon since I started a new job in October. However, odds are I should be able to get some time off. I...

Just had our engagement session.
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on October 25, 2014 at 3:32 PM

After all that fretting over props we ended up not using anything. The photographer brought a chalkboard for us to write on and an "&" symbol that we did not use. I also brought a prop that I forgot...
