Honeymoon: What are you most excited for?!
lilam18 in Honeymoon, on May 25, 2018 at 9:06 PM

Just about 6 weeks away and the burnout and stress is so real - the one bright spot being our honeymoon to Jamaica right after the wedding. I’m excited because I’ve never traveled outside of the...

Which veil should i choose?
lilam18 in Wedding Attire, on February 17, 2018 at 3:54 PM

lilam18 in Wedding Attire, on February 8, 2018 at 11:35 AM

lilam18 in Wedding Attire, on January 27, 2018 at 11:50 AM

Hi friends! I am taking my dress to a seamstress for the first time in the next few weeks. I was planning to just go by myself, but just started wondering- would it be helpful to have a second opinion...

So cranky - freaking envelopes!
lilam18 in Planning, on November 6, 2017 at 8:13 PM

TL;DR: Can I hand address envelopes using regular print? Needlessly detailed vent: I bought clear labels to use for our STD envelopes (yes, I know Minted addresses envelopes for free; no I did not...

Paying vendors via Venmo?
lilam18 in Planning, on August 27, 2017 at 2:01 PM

Has anyone done this? Is there any reason not to? I'm in the process of booking my H/MUA and it's one of the accepted payment methods. Seems a little strange to me, but I'm all out of checks and the...
