Meaghan in Etiquette and Advice, on September 20, 2016 at 6:10 PM

I know the whole "bridesmaids don't have to do anything except..." thing. I've been a BM many times in the past. I am in CA and 4 of my 5 BMs are on the East Coast. I caught up with each one in the...

Meaghan in Community Conversations, on September 18, 2016 at 2:50 PM

If anyone is watching the Chargers/Jaguars game, my handsome FH is one of a few hundred sailors and Marines unfolding the giant US flag!

Meaghan in Wedding Attire, on September 16, 2016 at 3:42 PM

IF- and this is a big if- I lose weight between now and my first fitting (hopefully by January).....how does this affect dress alterations? I'd like to lose a cool 30-40 pounds by the wedding. More...

Is anyone doing "wedding weekend stuff for OOT? I have a hotel block and the majority of our guest list are OOT. This is not to say they'll all come, but if they do, I just thought it'd be nice to...

Corsage for stepmother? And other questions
Meaghan in Etiquette and Advice, on September 3, 2016 at 10:20 PM

I know everyone's families are different but *maybe* someone has a similar position and can offer advice. FH's parents are divorced. They are civil with each other but rarely (never?) have any reason...

Meaghan in Planning, on August 29, 2016 at 8:21 PM

Not getting into the hot topic issue of having a "legal ceremony" before a church one in front of friends/family. Just a question on logistics. My FH and I live in San Diego where he is stationed. Our...

I stopped dress-shopping.
Meaghan in Wedding Attire, on August 15, 2016 at 11:23 PM

I posted on Saturday about being torn over 3 dresses. Nearly everyone chose dress 1. I had also had myself nearly convinced but I wanted to return to David's for one final look. David's had one of the...

Help! Dress fatigue...
Meaghan in Wedding Attire, on August 13, 2016 at 8:48 PM

Hi WW! I have gone to probably 3-5 different bridal stores now and I've found 3 of the probably 15-20 gowns I've tried that really stand out. Can you tell me what you think? Two are actually strapless...

Is anyone else wondering if FH will like the dress?
Meaghan in Wedding Attire, on August 7, 2016 at 12:30 PM

I'm in the middle of dress-shopping and found one I like at DB that I may customize with sleeves (haven't purchased yet). I playfully showed FH the DB website and he didn't really like anything he...
