When to include FH...
KarenM in Planning, on September 8, 2014 at 8:56 PM

So, I chose the bible readings for our wedding. FH knows next to nothing about the bible and he is very selective about what decisions he wants to be a part of and more importantly WHEN he wants to...

What's so wrong with borrowing money???
KarenM in Planning, on February 4, 2014 at 9:16 PM

Seriously. What is so wrong with borrowing a few bucks to have your dream wedding vs. having a sort of dream wedding. I'm borrowing money to have mine, and I'm not apologizing for it and I will gladly...

KarenM in Planning, on September 5, 2014 at 9:38 PM

I want to create a hashtag on instagram for friends to upload their pictures to, but I have absolutely no idea how to do this. I have an instagram account, that I rarely use, because I'm clueless. Can...

RINGS! We just picked up FH's wedding band, and we both love it so much that I thought I would share. I also realized that there are a lot of engagement rings that I haven't seen from some of the...

Lists...and more lists...
KarenM in Etiquette and Advice, on September 2, 2014 at 9:44 PM

So, I made - yet another - list, early last week and I open it up today and it says, "call Diane," and I'm thinking "who the f&^! is Diane? It seriously took me about 3 hours to remember that it's my...

Grace before dinner?
KarenM in Planning, on August 29, 2014 at 8:50 PM

FH and I are big on grace. We don't do it when we eat out, but at home, we basically just list all the things we're grateful for, including the food on our plate. In my family, at holidays and other...

I booked my honeymoon today and now all I want to do is sit on the beach at the Riviera Maya and drink sweet rum drinks. We're staying at a brand new Princess resort near Playa del Carmen....

I've been waiting for a check to liquidate some assets to help pay for the wedding, and it came on Friday. I also found out Thursday that my venue was booked for the wrong day...resolved. Then,...

KarenM in Style and Décor, on August 24, 2014 at 6:29 PM

So, my FBIL does calligraphy and he is doing our envelopes for us as a wedding gift. He sent us a photo today and I love them. They look AMAZING! I'm so lucky. I could never have afforded to have this...

Possible (Probable) Disaster...Follow up in comments
KarenM in Planning, on August 21, 2014 at 11:40 PM

So, I get an email from my venue stating that the balance of my payment is due since I'm sixty days out. I'm thinking...wait, there's 78 days until my wedding. Then I look at the permit (It's the...

I'm crazy ADD..,Please help.
KarenM in Honeymoon, on August 19, 2014 at 9:47 PM

So, now that my FH has the time off, the new question is where to go. Budget is about $3,000 for both of us for an all inclusive resort. I was looking at either the Dominican Republic, or...

Great news!!
KarenM in Honeymoon, on August 15, 2014 at 5:05 PM

FH hasn't accrued very much leave at his job since he's only been there a year and they only give out 1 week vacation in the first year - they also frown upon letting people take time off without pay....

(1) Registry. FH is no help whatsoever. I've been living on my own for exactly 31 years now (longer than some of you have been alive - I know). I have stuff, but there's other stuff I want or need to...

First Wedding Gift...
KarenM in Etiquette and Advice, on August 11, 2014 at 9:53 PM

Jeez! I had no idea we'd get a gift so early, but I love it. It's a wine cooler, with ice rocks and glasses. Of course it's booze related, but it's so frigging cool, and no two are alike. It weighs a...

I threw a little temper tantrum today, and now I'm paying for it.
KarenM in Planning, on August 10, 2014 at 10:17 PM

I went to Michaels for my one and only DIY project today. I gathered all the materials and I walked to the cashier, clutching my 25% off coupon. I was super psyched. And then....they told me the...

He wants me to pick out songs from his database. His database has over 7000 albums and 500,000 songs and I forget how many artists. We don't have to list every song he will play that night, but just...

KarenM in Planning, on July 25, 2014 at 9:58 AM

For your first look? I have set aside 15 minutes. We're doing it at the hotel before FH gets in the limo. Is that enough time? or should I allot more? We only have our photographer for an hour and a...
