Anyone else refusing to have a receiving line
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on June 3, 2015 at 4:17 PM

I absolutely refuse to have a receiving line and FH and I will instead go table to table to talk and thank people for coming. Since the guest list got completely out of hand when FMIL was still...

Almost had my first, and hopefully only, bridezilla moment. Rant
JaKLyn in Wedding Attire, on June 3, 2015 at 8:34 AM

After ordering BM dresses in January, and being told that they'd be here in April, they finally arrived yesterday. One BM has had her dress since last month, but the other three got here last night. I...

Hair inspiration. I'm doing a combination of these two. The front will look like the blondes hair and the back will look like the brunettes. I just can't deal with the wispy little dangling pieces all...

Hell didn't freeze over, but it did get at least a few flurries... FMIL and BM's crazy mom
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on May 26, 2015 at 8:55 AM

Some may remember the letter we got from BM's mom (who is also FMIL's good friend) urging FH to move out and just see our daughter on the weekends. Long story short she feels I need to "save" myself...

JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on May 21, 2015 at 8:32 AM

Fuck that we're uninviting people. A few months back I posted that FH's BM's parents told us they refused to come to the wedding because we aren't doing the "right" thing and having it in a church. We...

BM disappointment/regret. Just need to vent a little... Update page 2
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on May 14, 2015 at 8:59 AM

When I first started wedding planning I knew exactly who I wanted to stand with me and asked them a little over a year out from the wedding. I've had one BM (let's call her Bri) who I now fully regret...

Which of these do you like better?
JaKLyn in Wedding Attire, on May 14, 2015 at 4:05 PM

FH's aunt just texted me to let me know that she heard from her daughter (one of my BM's) that the bridal party was throwing me a shower, but the family wasn't. Apparently she decided that they will...

Rant* Did I miss the memo that it was "everybody be a poopbaby" day?
JaKLyn in Planning, on May 12, 2015 at 4:17 PM

FH and I are the ones paying for our wedding, RD and all. Which is completely fine and dandy. What's not so fine and dandy you ask? Every asshat coming out of the wood work and voicing their opinions...

Question about thank you cards.
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on May 13, 2015 at 9:44 AM

As a guest would you really have a preference between receiving a thank you that had the pictures printed on it, or have a no picture thank you that we included a 4x6 print inside of? Personally I...

*NWR but has anyone tried aerial yoga (or hammock yoga)?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on May 12, 2015 at 7:09 PM

If so did you find that it was a good workout and fun? Link so you know for sure what I'm talking about http://www.scrippsmedia.com/kmtv/news/Aerial-Yoga-Takes-Workout-to-Great-Heights-239975041.html ...

Guest book! I swear I won't set this one on fire! :)

Just have to print it and frame it now, but I'm in love!

She's back! It was so nice when FMIL was just ignoring us...
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on May 7, 2015 at 8:23 AM

Some of you may remember but as of now my FMIL isn't invited to the wedding, and we haven't spoken to her in about a month. We still talk to FFIL all the time and FH let him know that as of now we...

*NWR* Interview update
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on May 6, 2015 at 8:33 AM

Well all of your happy thoughts paid off. I had my initial interview yesterday and have made it through to the final round. I have two more 30 minute interviews today and will know sometime between...

*NWR* Send some happy thoughts my way if you don't mind :)

I'm interviewing for a promotion today and tomorrow. I can't even describe how amazing it would be for me to get this.

We've been invited to a wedding... verbally.... on Saturday....
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on April 30, 2015 at 4:19 PM

So one of FH's cousins ran into us while we're out running errands. She decided to invite us to her wedding this Saturday because, "We've had a couple of yes's who had to back out last minute". She...

JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on April 29, 2015 at 8:31 AM

Now I need opinions on our backup guestbook, in case I can't salvage the one I already made. Do you ladies prefer #1 or #2. #2 would actually have a couple under an umbrella together vs. just standing...

*updated with seller info for those who asked!* Flower girl dress! :)
JaKLyn in Wedding Attire, on April 28, 2015 at 8:27 AM

MaKyla freaked out last night when she saw her FG dress was in. Between getting her dress and having Chalupa come come, she was a very happy girl. It's just roomy enough on her that it should fit...

NWR...Poor Chalupa Batman
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on April 23, 2015 at 8:08 AM

So after getting home yesterday from visiting with my friend's family we noticed Chalupa acting really weird. At first we chalked it up to me being out of town for a few days but later on we realized...

NWR, but having a super shitty day.
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on April 20, 2015 at 3:53 PM

So after speaking with a good friend just Saturday night, we learned that she ended up passing early yesterday morning at the hands of her husband. We got word from her mom mid day yesterday and I've...
