Finally got it to work! NSFW* I was asked to share the comic book boudoir once I got them
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 21, 2015 at 7:27 PM

So here ya go. I'm absolutely in love and I'm sure FH will freak when he gets to see these. I had to share a few on IG already since he isn't on that. I love all of the pictures she got, but the comic...

I know it's irrational, but nothing like declines to make you feel unimportant.
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 20, 2015 at 1:27 PM

It looks like out of the 235 we invited to the wedding at best only 28 of my family will be attending. Some of the reasons for not coming are understandable. My uncle who I've been really close with...

S/O Weirdest marriage advice you've received?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 16, 2015 at 8:35 AM

Mine is from my grandparents. Their advice was to save some of the "weird sex stuff", so that way if I forget a birthday or anniversary I have a last minute gift idea tucked away....*shudders*. They...

Hair and makeup trial, along with a surprise shower
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 13, 2015 at 12:42 AM

My hair and makeup trial went really well for the most part today. Downside to the hair trial is I found that the style I want for my hair will work ideally if I cut 5-6 inches off of it. So I head...

You know your FMIL is crazy when
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 11, 2015 at 9:38 AM

Your friends offer to take up to two weeks of vacation to watch your daughter and cat so A) you don't have to consider asking crazy pants for help and B) you don't have to take a toddler with you on...

I'm to the point that I don't know what to do.
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on September 9, 2015 at 11:37 AM

I'm ready to just call the wedding off at this point. I don't feel like the wedding represents FH or I at all, and at 2 months out there aren't a ton of changes that we can reasonably make. He's now...

Changed our honeymoon again (for the last time)
JaKLyn in Honeymoon, on September 2, 2015 at 9:48 PM

We decided that we'd rather take a cruise to the Bahamas during the summer as a family instead of as a honeymoon. Instead now FH and I will be going to NOLA instead. I know a few of you lovely ladies...

I love FH but damn,
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 4, 2015 at 8:21 AM

Sometimes I want to just smack him. He's decided welcome bags for the hotel guests are a MUST (hello groomzilla) and wants to put something small in there from Sioux City, since I spent most of my...

Holy shit! I'm floored by people's generosity, but also feel like a jerk
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on September 2, 2015 at 8:59 AM

For accidentally peaking at our registry. FH got an email letting him know that the cloth napkins he wanted have been discontinued so he asked me to replace them with a different set. I went to edit...

My DIY bachelorette shoes
JaKLyn in Do It Yourself, on August 31, 2015 at 9:35 AM

I'm in love with how they turned out. My MOH came over to help me DIY them (I apparently seemed baffled when she tried telling me to make them myself vs. spending $70 for them on Etsy), and I'm...

Just for fun, what are you wearing to your bachelorette?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on August 28, 2015 at 11:31 AM

I just ordered this dress a few days ago, so I'm hoping it fits ok. My MOH is convinced she can make the shoes so we're going to attempt that tonight so I don't have to spend $75 on them. My...

Excuse me while I swoon,
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on August 26, 2015 at 10:14 PM

But our nephew (aka the RB) is handsome as hell. Oddly enough he loved dressing up, and is a big fan of the bow tie and suspenders. Thought I'd share a bit of the cuteness with y'all.

Just for fun... What embarrassing wedding related stories do you have?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on August 26, 2015 at 3:06 PM

For me it would be dress shopping. I told the consultant that heels and I don't agree with each other, yet she was convinced by my mom that I needed to try heels on while dress shopping. After finding...

Thoughts on hair and makeup with my dress?
JaKLyn in Wedding Attire, on August 26, 2015 at 10:44 AM

One of my BM's (FH's cousin) really wants to come with me to my redo hair/makeup trial but is now busy the original day. We were able to move it up to 9/12 but that means I really need to decide on...

Really wishing we'd just eloped *update, pg 4*
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on August 24, 2015 at 12:21 AM

Sorry for what's sure to be a long vent, but I figured if anyone may understand it would be you folks. FH and I are so over wedding planning right now. Relationships have never been more strained with...

Vent, this has got to be the stupidest thing I've heard... FMIL
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on August 17, 2015 at 8:14 AM

FMIL asked to add more people to the guest list, 2 weeks before we send out invites. Her reasoning? "We were just there to see there new house so it just feels right." FH told her she can just invite...

MOH let some details slip, and I'm starting to get excited.
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on August 20, 2015 at 11:27 AM

While talking last night my MOH left a few details slip about the bridal shower and bachelorette party the girls are planning. Apparently since the dresses ended up being free they took the amount...

Need ideas for hostess gifts please
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on August 19, 2015 at 9:07 AM

Pretty straightforward, I need to come up with ideas for gifts for my hostesses. For the family shower I have FH's 2 aunts that are hosting (FMIL dropped out as a host, but is still helping plan food...

Centerpiece opinions please.
JaKLyn in Style and Décor, on August 18, 2015 at 8:53 AM

Finally got around to doing the mock-up that I've been avoiding. Any thoughts or suggestions? Also, ignore the pile of towels in the background, MaKyla was trying them out as capes one by one last...
