So, as a means of getting out of actually going to a store and looking for a dress my mother purchased a Chinese dress online. I saw the picture, it looked fine, if she was happy with it I was happy...

Oh man. I attended two weddings yesterday and in BOTH cases all the elders got up and abruptly left after the cake was cut...and everyone else followed suit within minutes. At the first wedding they...

I plan on e-mailing my photographer tomorrow to make sure we are still on for our engagement session a week from Sunday. I plan on using some of these pictures to make save the date cards. My question...

As the totes keep piling up I am asking myself how in the hell am I going to get all this to the venue? I can take some items down the night before but for the clean up it will all need to go all at...

I will be having several people fly or drive into Indianapolis for the wedding. There is an excellent hotel located 12 minutes from the airport and I do believe they will pick up guests via shuttle...

I figured now would be the best time to get a quote for flowers since I am a year out. I made my appointment and brought a picture of a 13 stem arrangement from the FiftyFlowers website. After the...

Our caterer is providing the bartender. We must provide a skirted buffet table in front and a small table for ice and beer cans in the back. Simple enough - I am buying linens and the venue has the...

I worked for myself for almost two years selling vintage items online. Sales dipped this summer which forced me to get an 8-5 job. This is actually great because it will be a steady paycheck that will...

Very early in the year I had a tasting appointment with the baker. The person we met with said it was so early, we could just wait to make the deposit. In March, we saw them at a bridal show and again...

My venue is about an hour and 10 minutes from my house. What I think I am going to do is get room blocks in the town where the venue is so the groomsmen can stay down there the night before and the...

I feel like I got a ton of things knocked out this month. We got a great deal on a photo booth so we booked that so I am not tempted to go over the favor idea again. We met with a local DJ who will do...

I was just curious because as a person who cooks, I never use mine. For years I had an original 1960's KitchenAid stand mixer. It was black and white and it worked but I never used it. Last month, my...

I was at a bridal show on Sunday. I filled out a registry card for BB&B for more information - I gave the girl half and I kept the other half. As I am reading the "fine print" it says on there that...

Mother is on a tablecloth kick now. She thinks I need to get like a plain green tablecloth and then ALSO get a pricey embroidered overlay. We saw a lot of overlays at bridal shows recently and she is...

After speaking with a linen rental company this weekend I feel like it is a total waste to rent linens. The nicer "upgraded" tablecloths rent for over $30 a table - that is like throwing away...

I just really do not like it. I am on board with hard cider - but beer, just yuck. Anyone else just not really care for beer?

I just got the call that I got the job I applied for on Wednesday!!! I am relieved I got my foot in the door at a decent company. The pay is not spectacular but at least it will cover my student loans...

I thought I had a really good interview on Wednesday and the company said they would call today (Friday) with who they picked. As the clock ticks away the more and more I think that I might have...

Long story short - I had a job interview yesterday that I think went really well. Problem - they did not bring up pay or compensation as they said they were still interviewing people. I did not feel...

In light of FH's new understanding of the costs and how we have chop the guest list I am going to propose that we have two lists for guests. I know this is in bad taste but the reality is - there...
