Katie in Planning, on June 22, 2024 at 5:35 PM

The high for my wedding day is 95 degrees 🥵. We are only doing ceremony outside at 5:30 and probably only 20 minutes long. But I still don't want my guests miserable and having memories of how hot it...

Katie in Registry, on February 18, 2024 at 1:59 PM

My FH and I are in our mid 40s & don't plan on registering for anything or having any showers leading up to the wedding. But I know people will insist on getting something for us regardless. Which...

To Bustle or not to Bustle?
Katie in Wedding Attire, on February 14, 2024 at 2:18 PM
