I suppose you could say I'm just a geek. I enjoy playing board and card games, especially those with an role playing element. I also enjoy both love action and tabletop rpgs. I also enjoy most crafts and most recently have taken to tatting. I enjoy sewing by hand and doing plenty of hand embroidery.

Happily married 🎉

Okay so I've seen multiple places where people say that the only responsibility of the MoH/BM is to show up in the dress/tux picked by the bride/groom. When did this become the norm? Traditionally,...

My MOH is also my FH's sister and my BFF. When I asked her, it was purely for the reason that we are close and I didnt really think anyone else would really be suitable. I had planned to pick dresses...

It has been several years since my grandfather passed away so as I first started planning my wedding in April, I didnt give a lot of thought. Not long into it, I started realizing I need to have him...
