First of all, I am an incredibly introverted person. FH is the one that dominates conversations socially and I am just a bit of a wallflower. This idea of being the center of attention makes me...

If an invitation is addresses to "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" is it appropriate for Mrs. Smith to bring their adult child rather than Mr. Smith? Context: My Aunt, mom's sister, has made it crystal clear...

I have been pretty dead set against having a train on my dress. Today, I absolutely fell in love with a dress with a train and knew it was my dress. Is this train too much? Should I look at altering...

I have been to multiple bridal shops and haven't found much up my alley or that flows with the theme of my wedding. There are probably 100 more I can go to in Chicagoland so my options are endless....
