The only stress about wedding planning is MY mother...anyone having the same drama???
Jillian in Planning, on March 23, 2011 at 8:32 AM

Long story short - my parents and little brother moved to AZ two years ago (I knew it was the wrong move). My sister and I still reside in Chicago and my mom is going through some stuff (divorce from...

Jillian in Fitness and Health, on August 1, 2011 at 2:29 PM

Have any of you ladies dropped enough weight in the last month (or so) of your wedding that your dress actually had to be taken in, again? I just completed my last fitting and I was able to take the...

FH and I looked at apple vacations for all inclusive honeymoon deals in Punta Cana and we found an amazing place. The suite we'd like has a private swim up pool and jacuzzi; just a dream come true....

Rant - Facebook picture and comments have gotten me peeved
Jillian in Etiquette and Advice, on June 6, 2011 at 12:07 PM

It's all too interesting what you can come across on good 'ol Facebook when you're not even looking for anything. A pretty good friend of mine that I met at work a few years ago is invited to my...

Jillian in Planning, on September 7, 2011 at 11:35 AM

It didn't. I guess I drank the water too because I got a BFP when I tested on Monday, 8/29! Just wanted to share DH and I are SUPER excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm currently 5w5d along...

Seating Arrangements - Any Recommendations???
Jillian in Planning, on August 11, 2011 at 2:16 PM

My RSVP deadline was on the 8th and I'm still awaiting three responses (not bad). They're all my FH's work friends and they're coming, but I'm just waiting for the actual RSVP to arrive for their...

Candy Buffet
Jillian in Planning, on February 3, 2011 at 9:35 PM

We've decided that instead of giving out little wedding favors that we'd do an old school candy buffet. I'm talking dubble bubble, licorice laces, jawbreakers, charleston chews, gum cigarettes...all...

It's speech time...what are you thoughts???
Jillian in Etiquette and Advice, on August 8, 2011 at 7:07 PM

Tipping the hairstylist - when she's doing it as your gift???
Jillian in Wedding Attire, on July 27, 2011 at 8:07 PM

My hairstylist, who is also a friend, will be coming to the hotel & doing my hair for the wedding. She's told me that it will be my "gift" and she won't be charging me. Her and her FH are also invited...

We're having the ceremony & reception at the same location and all make-up/hair will be done at the hotel as well (so no salon travel time needs to be factored in). Here's what the photographer gave...

Inviting the Reverend to the Reception
Jillian in Etiquette and Advice, on July 25, 2011 at 3:26 PM

I'm struggling with this one a bit. FH and I are not religious and don't belong to a particular church, hence we don't have any personal/spiritual ties to any ordained minister/reverend. I found an...

Jillian in Planning, on July 6, 2011 at 10:55 AM
