I went to a caregiver orientation yesterday so I can care for my dad while he has his second bone marrow transplant. These things make you about as sick as you can be without making you dead, and I am...

Not from being MOH, just from helping me look for a dress. We don't like any of the same things, and he keeps pressing me to go way beyond my budget. The most important thing for FH and I is to avoid...

I just saw this idea on a florist's Flickr page: An empty seat left for those who have passed away. http://www.flickr.com/photos/roseofsharon-eventflorist/5260344267/

What kind of headpiece do you think I could wear with a purple dress? How weird would it be to wear a purple veil? Since it's a Catholic wedding, maybe a black mantilla? Feather headband? Tiara? Taco...

When I do my makeup on a regular day, it's gone by lunchtime and my face is bright red with rosacea. How can I be sure my makeup is going to stay on for the Big Day?

Is anyone wearing glasses for the big day?

Just thought you all should know.

I have been looking for work for what seems like forever, and every time I feel good about a job I get another no thanks, if I get any response at all. MOH and I spent an hour and a half on the phone...

I have been looking for work forever (it's my other great obsession) and God still has not seen fit to send me a job. I think my friend (aka MOH) and I have nailed down the details in my job search...

When asked whether his outspokenly anti-religious best man would behave himself at our Catholic wedding, FH says, "Kent may be a cynical bastard, but he's not an a$$ hat. Significant...

My mate of honor is horrified by the idea that I would get married in a purple dress. This wouldn't even show up on my radar, except that in real life he's my designated fashion advice friend and has...

Anyone have experience with this website? Are these good quality gowns?

I've lost sixty pounds already, and with perseverance and a little luck, I can be to my goal weight by my birthday. That's 27 more pounds. I really want to be svelte and muscle-y for the big day....

If I worried half as much over half the things that Bride's Magazine and their ilk say are a "Must-Have Part of Your Special Day," I would end up bankrupt and institutionalized. What wedding industry...

FH and I are in the middle of a text convo. We're trying to decide how totally inappropriate it would be to register for firearms. What's the most off the wall thing you've registered for?

Photos are the only thing from the wedding that lasts, and so getting a good photographer is really important to me. I'm thinking of scheduling a short engagement session with my favorite two or three...

It's not much, but I managed to pick up three days of work through a temp service. Better than zero days. I hate job searching!!

Well, I was going to skip the RSVP card and direct everyone to our website instead, but with this idea I think I might change my mind. Our cathedral has several postcards of the rose window and...

Back story: My brother and his wife were married in Turkey while he was on leave from the Marines, so my family and I are giving them a reception when they move home, to coincide with their first...
