My fiance and I met on Tinder in 2015. We both have a love for music and our first date was a concert - I was sold right then and there! Fast forward to July 21st, 2019 when he proposed to me at my favorite place in our city, the Lincoln Memorial. We had to postpone our September 2020 wedding to May 2021, but we're officially tying the knot on July 21st - our engagement anniversary!

Happily married 🎉

Finally feeling excited again!
Jess in Planning, on April 12, 2021 at 12:28 PM

We just got all of our RSVPs back for our May 15th wedding. I can't believe how high the turnout is... we invited 115 and 100 said yes. With our state's mandate, we are good to go with our 100 count!...

We decided to postpone our wedding in September, even though our state was in phase 3 and allowing 250 guests at weddings, we just didn't want to go through with the wedding since there was no vaccine...

Backless Bra
Jess in Wedding Attire, on April 2, 2020 at 1:23 PM

I need backless bra recommendations. I can't have cups added to my dress because the top of it is a very structured corset with lots of bone wires. I've never worn a backless bra before so I don't...
