So, I'm obsessed with my dress, and I really don't want to part with it, but I just married into the Navy, and the reality is that I also don't want to lug it with me to a new duty station every 3...
We did it! Uh, what do I do with my life, now that I don't have a wedding to plan? The Good: * My very favorite moment was when we spoke the vows we wrote. My DH, who claims to not have tear ducts,...
Already married people - how bad was your anxiety the day of? It's my wedding day, and I am so nervous I'm almost paralyzed. According to my FH's friends, he is calm and doing homework. Meanwhile, I'm...
I just wanted to acknowledge that FH's ex wife was just extremely cool to us and kind of saved the wedding. He was so sure that he had all his paperwork for our marriage license that he did not even...
I'm so hungover I might die. I live in New Orleans all the time (15 years), so we decided not to reinvent the wheel, and just be tourists in our own town for the bachelorette party. We did a two-day...
Hey, y'all! We have 18 days left until the big day, so I've taken to fretting over little shit that probably isn't an actual problem. One of those things is how my FH is going to process the day, and...
I'm getting married in Baton Rouge, and I live in New Orleans, so I had to get my hair trial and makeup trial on entirely different days. Imagine with me for a moment that we can combine the two into...
This past Saturday, my best friends and family threw me a fantastic bridal shower at my best friend's house. There is a funny story behind some of the decor: One invitation's address was off by one...
So I'm 46 days out and starting to feel like a sitcom weepy bride - not Bridezillas, but like . . . Lily in How I Met Your Mother. Verge of tears all the time, trying to be positive, but ready to just...
So, here's a fun thing that happened. My FH is a Navy Chief, and sometimes they play random sports at work (for the entire day - it's weird). One day, a few weeks ago, they were playing something...
Yesterday, my mom's best friends (of 40 years!) threw me a beautiful bridal tea at the Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans with just me, them, and my bridal party. Originally, they wanted to throw me a...
My friend and I were at the beach not long ago, and we were floating in the ocean and discussing them men in our life as compared to Jane Austen's leading men. (If you've never read Jane, the rest of...
I was having a really rough week - the post office gave me a scare with my invitations and I was having trouble submitting my passport application, among other things. Then THIS arrived! The first of...
Happy Mardi Gras weekend from me and FH! Look what we caught from one of my friends in a parade. :-) What are the rest of y'all up to this weekend? Anyone else in my fair city for the greatest free...
Your writers should be required to consult the hot topics. This is bad for the brand, WW:...
Weddings are crazy. At the point you get engaged, you have a certain amount of friends you see all the time (if you're me, it's hundreds of people and it's a little ridiculous). So you add them all to...
Literally. That's how I'm typing this. So, I just concluded one hell of a panic attack. I have been on a restrictive (but healthy, I swear, from a nutritionist I'm seeing) diet for 4 days (I have been...
That moment when your biggest client decides to retire less than 5 months before your wedding and honeymoon and EVERYTHING IS ALREADY BOOKED. The train has left the station with everything involving...
This is a public service announcement. Make sure to follow up with your vendors at least once or twice, even if you don't have that much to say. I sent the girl who is designing my custom invitations...
I'm gathering inspiration photos for my makeup artist, and I wanted to provide a space here for brides who chose a red or bold darker lip to post their trial or wedding photos. I'd love to see how...
