I'm feeling so over this. I've got two months to go, I've got pretty much everything taken care of at this point with a few random to-do's left on my list. I'm at a point where I can start to relax a...

My FMIL has a drinking problem. I don't know if I'd go so far as to call her an alcoholic, but she definitely drinks way too much in situations that are completely inappropriate for such behavior. She...

How did you go about removing your things from the venue after the wedding? I've just been notified by my venue that it has to be gone that night and can't be picked up the following morning since...

I have my first alterations appointment tonight and I'm not sure what I need to bring. I'm going straight after work, so I have in my car - my shoes, my slip(s), my veil, and my accessories (just to...

So my MOH is great. I love her and am super appreciative of everything that she's done and is doing for our wedding. My only gripe is that she is adamant about keeping the bachelorette party a...

I *finally* got my boudoir photos back and am SO SO excited. It took a lot longer than I was promised, but I'm glad to finally have them. Now I just need to make a photo book out of them. For you...

I've been asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding next year. She's an amazing girl and one of my bridesmaids. I love to crochet and decided to start making her an afghan to give to her at her...

So I'm about 2.5 months out from my wedding at this point. I know that my amazing bridesmaids have planned a bachelorette party (a few of them have mentioned it i.e. "I'm so excited for your...

I still haven't gotten them back. Originally my photographer told me 4-6 weeks. The six week mark was at the end of March. When I didn't get them by then, I emailed and was told "soon." When I still...

Every time I post about my FMIL, I always start by saying I really do honestly love her and appreciate how welcoming she is. That is still true. But the woman is really getting on my nerves. The...

So, to cut costs my florist suggested that I buy/provide the vase they will use for the arrangement on our escort card table. Wonderful! Now I am looking for a vase and I'm not sure what to get. I...

It seems like uplighting has become a staple at weddings recently. I don't always love the way they look, but I've seen them done really nicely, too. Unfortunately for me FH absolutely HATES them and...

Apologies in advance for the minor vent. I'm just so tired of waiting on things. I'm STILL waiting for my boudoir photos (it's 3 weeks since the photog said I'd have them), waiting to hear back from...

Anybody subscribe to any of these and have thoughts to share? I've been dying to subscribe but will only allow myself to one (and even at that I feel like I'm caving), and I'd like to have some...

As a bridesmaid gift, I mean. I think they're so cute, but I'm not sure how my bridesmaids would feel about them. Most of my bridesmaids have been bridesmaids many times over, so I vowed I wouldn't...

I don't know if any of you have experienced anything similar, but planning my wedding and my interactions with some of my bridesmaids has actually made me a little depressed. Not because of anything...

I seriously feel like I'm going crazy waiting for them. It's been two weeks since the date that she originally said they would be ready, and I'm still waiting. I know that this is typical with...

This is actually about my best friend, who isn't engaged yet but will likely be any day now. She had a very rough childhood and always dreamed of a traditional wedding with all her family, but as a...

Soooo my FH's birthday falls over our honeymoon I want to bring a gift with me to give him on the day, but it has to be small enough to fit in my luggage. Some ideas I have are cologne (but that seems...
