I always see couples who have really cute photo props in their professional shoots - I don't mean like a photobooth session, I mean with just bridal party shots or shots of the couples. Does anyone...

JKRuoff in Do It Yourself, on December 2, 2011 at 8:22 AM

Ladies (and gents), if you haven't signed up for Michael's e-mails, I'd suggest doing so for at least the month of December. All through December they'll be having "daily deals", and you get an e-mail...

Did anyone elses FMIL....
JKRuoff in Wedding Attire, on October 28, 2011 at 8:54 AM

Buy a dress for the wedding that you didn't like? Typically my FMIL is pretty fashion forward, and I've never seen her in something that I hated. However, it's a totally different story with the dress...

JKRuoff in Do It Yourself, on October 4, 2011 at 6:45 AM
