Today we met with our top choice photographer and dj. After the photographer FH said "we're not meeting with anyone else. It's him." Which was amazing because I was nervous since he's not comfortable...

So I'm sitting here looking at pictures of me in my dress. I love the dress so much, but my eyes keep going to my arms. I'm having 3/4 sleeves made on the dress when the dress gets ordered, whenever...

We finally got an appointment with the photographer that I've been dying to meet with. And a bunch of people recommended a DJ to me, that a coworker happens to know personally and reached out to him...

All right ladies I need you. I'm going to a wedding in October. I have no desire to buy a dress since I literally own a million. So I'm wearing a plain green dress and decided I can at least buy a...

I found a photographer a couple months back that I love. The price is amazing, and the pictures even more so. I spoke to him on the phone 3 months ago and was really impressed. I told him I would talk...

My entire life my weight has always fluctuated. Currently I'm at the highest I've ever been. Ive lost a little in the last couple of months, but no where near where I want to be. I'm trying to be...

I've talked about FMIL before here. She's mentally abusive, she's toxic, and manipulative. FH asked for time and space and it didn't even last a week. I blocked her number but still get her vmails...

I had to share my experience today because I immediately thought you all would have a field day with this. So I work at a bank, so I'm constantly talking to people about their money. I was helping a...

This isn't really for myself, seeing as how I have forever and ever and ever until this applies to me (ffs only at 612 days?!) Anyways. I work at a credit union and seeing as how it's wedding season...

There's so much back story to this so I'm going to try to keep to just the highlights. In the over 4 years FH and I have been together neither FH or I have had a good relationship with FMIL. She has...

My venue offers valet parking for events, and seeing as how it's in a city location with limited parking and only $5 per car (60 guests total, most will probably come together) we obviously...

Lately I'm just feeling like my wedding date is too far away. We love our date and chose it for a reason, we had an offer from my dad to move it up and chose not to. Plus we signed the contract for...

This isn't really a question I'm just really excited. He kept saying "with you and your husband " and not going to lie I got a little emotional and I had my this is real life moment. I love his work...

So I've talked about this before. My FHs best friend of his entire life is getting married soon. This is the one where she chose her BMs far too early (me) didn't communicate, and I just recently...

The worst thing about my wedding planning has been people asking me what my mom thinks/ how excited is she?! I haven't seen my mom in 8 years. I reached out to her through Facebook, because I don't...

Anyone else having trouble sticking to their workout plan? How do you stay on track? I try to go to the gym at 6 every morning. But lately I've been staying up late (as in past ten) and can't get my...

I'm seeing a whole bunch of intro posts today and realized I never did that! I've posted and commented a couple times but I'm still pretty new here. I'm Melissa, My FH is Mike and we met through...

I feel like every day there is something new with my wedding, and lately it's been my dad trying to persuade me to push my wedding up a year. We got engaged in March, and always planned on having a...

Let me preface this by saying I'm a crazy planner. I like to know what I'm doing way ahead of time, so my long engagement is perfect. But anyways. I've been bouncing around ideas for decor and...
