Sorry, I love the "thanks Obama" joke and use it liberally... get it, get it? Liberally?? HAHAhaa, Ok for real. We agreed really early on that we did not want, nor could we afford a videographer. Well...

Some of you may remember my friend who was put in the hospital last week at 25 weeks pregnant after going into labor (I talked about it in a confession Friday thread). She delivered last night at 26.5...

Out of curiosity, what is the point of exchanging gifts with the bride/groom the day of the wedding? I kinda feel like him letting me spend 20k on a 6 hour party is a pretty massive gift already lol....

FH's son will go to sleep in his own bed which is a big step bc when we first got together, FH had to spend hours every night he had his son putting him to bed. His son is 7 and a half. Well now his...

So we want to do a small registry to just upgrade/replace a few inexpensive things, but that's it. We would really prefer cash but would never ask for cash. A friend suggested the honeyfund, but...

I have a contract in my email from a well known DJ company that I was all prepared to sign and pay the deposit on. They are doing the ceremony and then a 4 hr. reception for 745. That's with a 225 off...

I applied to attend a train-the-trainer conference that is a week long in Portland. I just got my email saying I've been approved. I am so excited! I've never traveled for work before, plus it's to a...

Here are my invites that I made from a template I bought of easy and used with my zazzle Groupon. I had a question and customer service was super helpful. I upgraded the paper one level. They came...

My honeymoon is turning into a logistical nightmare. This is going to be hard to explain so I'm going to do my best. We are about to start construction (hopefully) on a major remodel on FH's house. We...

It is officially spring time in OK. How do I know? Oh bc Moore managed to get hit by the first tornado of the season last night, in almost the exact same place that got destroyed in 2013. SMH. ZI live...

I just had to make a payment on our photography package and it hurt! I have my tax return saved for wedding stuff, but actually pulling the trigger 1k at a time is hard!! In my mind I know that is...

On the thread about dancing, someone mentioned having a crazy hour. That sounds fun. Are you doing one? Have you been to weddings with one? What worked, what didn't? Also, I don't see any companies...

So for whatever reason I really want to have some kind of "bar" at the reception for food. I've considered hot chocolate (decided against), a S'mores bar and a frozen yogurt bar. But today I started...

So we were going to go with eggplant and then found sangria and like it a lot. However, I'm finding that it's not easy to find that color in things like flowers (real touch) and so on. It seems to be...

So I think after some brief research that I can do my paper lantern centerpieces for about 250 and that would mean me putting them together and arranging the flowers on the top (nothing difficult). I...

I have never been a very healthy eater and I get away with it bc I have an insane metabolism. However, back in October I was put on a super strict diet bc of my bladder. No citrus, caffeine, alcohol,...

SO fh and I are talking about the idea of abstaining from being intimate for an amount of time before the wedding. I think this will make the wedding night and honeymoon more fun and special bc I've...
