Hello everyone! I've been on WW for quite a while but took a slight hiatus last school semester. I'm back to finish up wedding planning and get ready for the big day! My fiance and I met in high school and have been together for about 4 years. He works in the video game industry and I am studying to teach high school English.

Happily married 🎉

"Staycation" Style Honeymoon?
Kayla in Honeymoon, on February 23, 2017 at 12:44 PM

So, our wedding will be on the 31st of December (anyone that knows me on here, knows that we have been super wishy washy on dates), and school starts back for me on January 8th. Because of this, we're...

Kayla in Honeymoon, on October 24, 2017 at 12:20 PM

Finally made a decision! Now tuxes?
Kayla in Wedding Attire, on August 20, 2017 at 11:33 AM

I took one of my bridesmaids, and live chatted the rest, to David's Bridal to shop for their dresses! We finally decided on a dress AND a color scheme. It's set and there's no going back now! I'm...

Bridesmaid dress help!
Kayla in Wedding Attire, on July 31, 2017 at 11:53 AM

So I've been having the hardest time coming up with a bridesmaid dress combo that I love. I decided to find my bouquet (theirs will match) first, and then pair the bridesmaid dresses with it. I have 4...

This made me laugh a lot.
Kayla in Wedding Attire, on July 14, 2017 at 11:10 PM

So, I laughed, but then I had a thought...who is going for the sexy look for their wedding day? Where is the line between classy and sexy? Just some curiosity!

Honeymoon ideas!
Kayla in Honeymoon, on July 12, 2017 at 12:55 PM

So, our original plan was to head to the mountains of Nc for our June 2018 honeymoon. When we started talking about it more, FH started thinking that we should look at other options. He's not super in...

Let me see your flower-less centerpieces!
Kayla in Style and Décor, on June 10, 2017 at 10:26 AM

Hi everyone! I was curious as to whether or not anyone has done decor that was completely flower free. I think we will still be using flowers, but I'm wondering if decor can be done well without them....

I said yes to the dress!

I had an amazing experience at Blush Bridal in Fayetteville NC, and bought the first dress I tried on. I tried on about 15 afterwards and none of them compared. Came back to this one and it sealed the...

So my mom wants a dollar dance...
Kayla in Etiquette and Advice, on May 13, 2017 at 11:21 AM

My mother is trying to force us to have a dollar dance at our wedding. She's paying for my dress, and for the alcohol at the wedding, so she gets some say. But I'm honestly MORTIFIED at the idea....

Two dresses?
Kayla in Wedding Attire, on April 25, 2017 at 12:23 PM

Has anyone done a ceremony dress, and a separate reception dress? I've been considering it because of how hot it will be on my wedding day. I've lost a lot of weight, and have a ton of excess skin...

Dress shopping!
Kayla in Wedding Attire, on April 18, 2017 at 2:35 PM

Rent the runway?
Kayla in Wedding Attire, on April 17, 2017 at 5:26 PM

So my aunt is trying to convince me to rent a wedding dress. Personally, it gives me the creeps and I don't want to do it, but it makes financial sense. Has anyone rented their wedding dress and...
