Surprised my MOH tonight...
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on April 17, 2014 at 9:44 PM

So, I bought personalized hangars, one for me, and one for MOH, just simple with our first names. I sent her this picture of hers, and she was so excited. I think my favorite thing about wedding...

Wedding Weekend with my MOH
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on April 14, 2014 at 6:49 PM

My MOH is simply amazing. She would wear a Mickey Mouse costume if I asked her to. Saturday we had our makeup trial with my MUH who is also a good friend. Today was gown shopping for her, and trying...

Great friends, NOT in your wedding party.
KarenM in Planning, on April 10, 2014 at 8:26 PM

I didn't want a big wedding party, so I decided to have an MOH only. It made it a very difficult choice, but my MOH has been through a lot with me, and I with her. Examples include, me having breast...

So, at church today, our priest gave us a "Declaration of Intent", which we must fill out and sign. Here's what it says, I cried. We, ______________________________ and ______________________________...

I know your sick of me but..
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on March 27, 2014 at 10:31 PM

Here's my new dress. I have two. This one was such a bargain that I couldn't pass it up. I paid less than $500 for both dresses. I'm wearing this one to the ceremony through dinner and the...

Wedding band.....
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on March 24, 2014 at 11:44 PM

So, I ordered my wedding band online. FH was aprehensive, but I loved it. He doesn't have his yet, but here is mine. It's so perfect. It looks amazing with my engagement ring.

I keep having wedding nightmares
KarenM in Planning, on March 19, 2014 at 8:53 PM

That no one will show up. I have 80 out of state guests. Obviously, my immediate family will show, and I've heard for sure that about 6 people (out of 112) can't make it, but I'll never really know...

Grrrrr. Long speeches.
KarenM in Planning, on March 18, 2014 at 9:29 PM

I hate them. FH wants his entire family to be able to speak, all 5 brothers and his cousin. I told him we would bore the crap out of the rest of our guests, not to mention me. We have already told his...

Who is more budget conscious?
KarenM in Etiquette and Advice, on March 16, 2014 at 10:08 PM

You or FH? We waiver back and forth, but, I am paying for the wedding, entirely. So, I have made a few decisions to spend some cash on things like chivari chairs and a DoC that FH doesn't agree with....

Services in the DC area....
KarenM in Planning, on March 9, 2014 at 9:11 PM

So, awhile ago, someone posted about a day-of-coordinator in the Washington DC area. I have found the girl. She's frigging amazing and she is charging me $500 for the entire day. To boot, she...

Deal of the day...
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on March 8, 2014 at 7:05 PM

So, just hanging out and browsing today, I came across these, which I thought would be great for dancing at the reception. Total price...$7.52.

Which Ring?
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on March 3, 2014 at 11:10 PM

I'm looking at wedding bands and I love all of these. My engagement ring is a stunning cushion cut 1.3 carat aquamarine with tiny diamond accents.

Busy weekend....
KarenM in Planning, on March 3, 2014 at 10:14 PM

SO, we booked our photographer, rehearsal venue, ceremony and baker this weekend. Did anyone else get a lot done in a short period of time? I tell FH all the time that we do this in fits and starts....

Checking things off the list
KarenM in Planning, on March 1, 2014 at 9:23 PM

Booked my photographer today. It was way more emotional than I expected. She has a great personality, which totally helped. Only big things left are DoC, florist and baker. I'm interviewing a DoC next...

Best idea EVER!
KarenM in Planning, on February 26, 2014 at 8:55 PM

I'm not sure who originally said this, but I'm sure I learned it on WW. Whoever it was said to go to your local University for a videographer to save money. Well...I took that advice to heart, and I...

Mother Attire...
KarenM in Wedding Attire, on February 25, 2014 at 8:41 PM

So, this is sort of a spin off from KristinMichelle's post about everyone matching to a "t". My mother asked me about what she should wear to the wedding, and I was completely stymied. It honestly...

A Small Rant - relating to finances...
KarenM in Married Life, on February 13, 2014 at 10:11 PM

SO, I never bitch about finances. I'm the breadwinner in the house. I make over 3x what FH makes. I pay ALL the bills, and I'm footing the bill for the entire wedding. Tonight, he comes home and...
