After being widowed at 32 and going through all the chaos that is online dating, I met a man who says what he means, shows what he feels, and puts me and our little family at the top of his priority list consistently. He's my equal and my partner in every sense of the word...and he asked me to be his wife ❤

For every wedding in my family, my grandma made collage frames for the bride and groom from pics of their childhood...it was part of her getting to know the mother (usually) of whomever was marrying...
I'm sure I'm not the only person in this particular situation, so I'm wondering if anyone else has re-booked flights for their honeymoon. Our resort didn't cancel, so we've already booked the...
Our wedding isn't until February, and we're not having our engagement shoot until September. How far in advance of the wedding should the hair and make up trial run be? Could it be feasible to have...
Our venue is very strict about things that could harm the wildlife (getting married at an Arboretum). No rice, no birdseed, no confetti. I found these streamer wands. They're cute. Any other...
Anyone else hit that period of time where all vendors are nailed down, save the dates are sent, and there's truly nothing that needs done for a bit? I've been so wrapped up in wedding stuff for the...
We're going to have 11 children under 12 at our wedding. Any suggestions for how to keep them occupied during the less interactive parts - so when they aren't eating or dancing? We will only be having...
I'm not sure of the etiquette. Is it appropriate to even have a bachelor/bachelorette party for a 2nd wedding? FH's best woman wants to have a combined party where the two of us are there and everyone...
Do you think it would be inappropriate to ask FH's ex-wife if she would like pictures of our kids and grandkids all dressed up? The divorce was final in 2006 and our son and daughter are all grow up...
Hi, there! We're writing our own vows. FH is a musician/song writer in his spare time, so I'm envisioning him being all sweet and eloquent and I typically freeze in the spotlight so I'm a bit nervous,...
Happy Thursday, all! I have a question - what would you think are some planning responsibilities which would be good, fun, and achievable for a 7 and 10 year old? My daughters live with us and they...
My wedding colors are scarlett, black, and ivory. I'm having a small wedding, 2 attendants for each of us, our kids giving us each away... Originally I was going to have everyone in scarlett, but my...
I want to make my own card box, but I've never made a square. I made a round one for my best friend's wedding in 2012. Here are pics of my idea photo and the fabrics I like. Our wedding is Nightmare...
Are you planning a rehearsal dinner? We're leaning toward not having one. We have both been married before and this is a very small wedding with just our closest relatives and our very best friends....
Several of you weighed in on whether it would be weird to have silk flowers for centerpieces and if they had to be the same as the ones in my bouquet, along with lots of other suggestions on vases,...
Who's going traditional? Anyone going slippers? I'm wearing my old, blue chucks! 🙂 I'm looking for earrings for the "something new" and FMiL wants me to wear her necklace (something borrowed). How...
So, back story, I'm a 36 year old widow with 2 daughters (10 & 7), my fiance is a 46 year old divorcee with a son (26) and a daughter (21). Our son has 2 sons, so I'm a grandma 🥰 Oma, to be...
My bouquet is coming from the florist...white oriental lilies and deep red alstroemeria. Would it be weird to use a different, and artificial, flower in the table centerpieces? I can't find anything I...
FH and I, along with roughly half our guest list, are musicians. When it comes to wedding favors, we're thinking of having 2 together (nothing extravagant). Have you seen where you can get m&ms in...
Hey ladies! Anyone know of a place beside Men's Wearhouse, or if they will customize a rental? We really want a colored shirt, to match the girls, with the black tuxedo. FH has definite ideas about...
My original florist cancelled on me and my new one has limited availability so, instead of live flower centerpieces, I'm having to make my own. Has anyone used those colored string lights? I'm...
