Garters!?
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on June 13, 2014 at 6:55 PM

Ladies! I'm trying to pick out a garter and realize that I have almost no idea where to look for one (outside of Etsy or Fredrick's). So...what did you pick and why? I'm leaning more towards something...

Show me your bling!
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on June 12, 2014 at 7:08 PM

I'm pretty sure we're all super proud of our engagement (and wedding) rings! Show me what you've got! Is there a story behind it? Is it an heirloom? Is it brand spanking new and the biggest rock...

NWR: I have a second interview tomorrow!! *Update!!*
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on August 4, 2014 at 1:30 PM

I've passed my content tests, I've gone through certification training, and I finally had an interview with a local high school last week. I tried not to be overly excited about it, because as a first...

Does anyone..
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on July 9, 2014 at 6:25 PM

Does anyone else still get super excited because you're getting MARRIED? Amidst all of my planning (and stressing), getting things together, organizing everything, and generally being awesome at this...

Show me your getaway dresses!! (Pictures!)
Lyssa in Wedding Attire, on July 25, 2014 at 11:27 AM

I know there's the great debate of wearing a different dress to the reception than the ceremony dress (for the record, I'm wearing my GORGEOUS dress the whole time because it's so pretty!) but is...

Lyssa in Wedding Attire, on July 22, 2014 at 7:25 PM

My dress is in! My dress is IN!!! I just heard back from DB! It's three days earlier than expected! Soooo naturally I'm going to run over there after work, pick out my undergarments, and take it home!...

So...that's a maybe, right? Awesome.

I love the WW website in that it gives the guests a way to give you a little message along with their RSVP, and it's also awesome that it gives you their email address! But I've had a couple of guests...

I need help with my guest book! (Pictures included)
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on July 23, 2014 at 12:30 PM

Instead of having a guest book, I'm going to have a calendar for the guests to sign on their birthday (and anniversary!), that way I'll have everyone's birthday for both sides of our family. Also, I...

I went with my FSIL (who is one of my BMs) and my FMIL this last weekend to pick out their dresses for the wedding. It was super fun because FH, FFIL, AND FBIL went with us. I like doing things with...

Groom's attire! Where did you get your vest?
Lyssa in Wedding Attire, on July 22, 2014 at 11:02 AM

I decided a long time ago that the guys would wear grey suits (or tuxes, it doesn't really matter to me) but what I REALLY want is for them to nix the jackets and wear the vests and long sleeve white...

Drive time between rehearsal and dinner?
Lyssa in Planning, on July 21, 2014 at 2:22 PM

I know we've all had the discussion of drive time between the ceremony and reception, if they're at different venues, but what about the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner? My wedding venue (ceremony &...

I found out this weekend that a couple of my bridesmaids, a couple of cousins, and my mom have been secretly planning an awesome bridal shower for me. They'd been texting and making secret Pinterest...

Non-girly BM gifts? Help!?
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on July 12, 2014 at 12:41 PM

I'm totally stuck. I have four BMs. Two are reeeally girly, one is only kind of girly, and the last one would probably go without makeup or having her hair done if she could get away with it. So I'm...

Bridal Photography: is this still a thing?
Lyssa in Community Conversations, on July 10, 2014 at 3:48 PM

I'm totally curious to see who is having a bridal photography shoot. I remember seeing lots of these in years past, but I can't remember seeing one lately so I wondered if this has fallen out of...

I'm amazed, really! We mailed out our STDs/RSVPs on Saturday morning and I've just had my first text message of excitement and confirmation. YAY! What victories are you all celebrating this week?...

How much did you register for?
Lyssa in Planning, on July 5, 2014 at 1:22 PM

FH and I are going to finally get our registry started on Sunday so I'm reading up on things we need to know and most of it seems like common sense: register for items in all price points, put the...

Lyssa in Planning, on July 5, 2014 at 11:24 AM
