Videographers
LadyMonk in Planning, on May 6, 2014 at 1:18 PM

A lot of BAM posts and even articles out there put not having a videographer out there as one of the top regrets. We of course hadn't heard of these while we were making our budget. FH didn't even...

NWR? Belly Dancers
LadyMonk in Community Conversations, on April 25, 2014 at 6:00 PM

I started belly dancing about a year ago and I absolutely love it. It's empowering and where I live anyway, there's a great community of women. Do I have any other fellow bride belly dancers out...

My poor awkward engineering coworkers
LadyMonk in Etiquette and Advice, on April 24, 2014 at 5:17 PM

One told me that I should invite his girlfriend (that I've met once). A different one told me that it's ok to put your registry on your wedding invitations. The argument went like this: "Are you...

Changed my screen name
LadyMonk in Community Conversations, on April 24, 2014 at 10:01 AM

FYI... That is all. I guess I may as well give a quick update, as well. We finally picked our first dance song (but we still have to learn how to dance...). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFz61X2PQTw...

Check out my wedding shoes :)
LadyMonk in Wedding Attire, on April 16, 2014 at 12:37 PM

So I posted a pair of shoes from Aldos a while ago, and I received a resounding: NO! I have since then gone back to the drawing board... And here's what I ordered! I'm really excited. I know that I...

We're jumping on this bandwagon! It was actually FH's idea, and I'm so happy he's helping I want to do one on canvas instead of paper, though (DIY). Has anyone ever done this? What type of ink did you...

LadyMonk in Do It Yourself, on March 30, 2014 at 3:05 AM

Here is my DIY hair trial! I still have quite a few months to practice and perfect it. I haven't bought the hair comb yet, but this is the one I'm thinking of (it's from Etsy, by Annamall). My dress...

Woo! We found him a ring.
LadyMonk in Wedding Attire, on March 10, 2014 at 3:40 PM

After keeping my eyes open for a few years (I "browsed" unofficially) we finally found the perfect ring for him! Comfortable, extremely durable (it's a tungsten carbide), and unique. I know you all...

Shoes and Dress: Do they go?
LadyMonk in Wedding Attire, on March 7, 2014 at 3:26 PM

I want neutral coloured shoes (either white, blush, or a golden colour) to go with my dress. I HATE peep-toes and sling-backs... Then I saw these shoes. Do they go with my dress or should I keep...

LadyMonk in Fitness and Health, on February 20, 2014 at 4:04 PM

I'm bored, so let's talk about fitness! Hopefully I'm not being a crazy person, but I really want FH to get into shape, and he does want to too. There's all sorts of barriers, like stress and fatigue....

A Friend's Wedding (1 Month Ahead)
LadyMonk in Etiquette and Advice, on February 12, 2014 at 1:55 PM

This is a two part question. I should mention first that we're not super close friends. I probably see her only about once or twice a year, and we may exchange a few short e-mails in between. 1. My...
