Monica in Community Conversations, on April 15, 2015 at 1:21 PM

April 11, 2015 was the best day of my life thus far. To see everything I'd envisioned over the last 9 months come to life was absolutely amazing and surreal. I can't even begin to imagine how things...

Monica in Planning, on March 13, 2015 at 1:10 PM

Updated Our Registry
Monica in Community Conversations, on March 14, 2015 at 1:34 AM

After our family shower where we got so many wonderful gifts, I'd forgotten to update our registry so we got a second slow cooker. My aunt had bought us a fantastic one not on our registry so we'll be...

Flagged?
Monica in Etiquette and Advice, on March 12, 2015 at 4:55 PM

Okay? I get it; the topic had nothing to do with weddings which is why I put NWR. I don't understand why it got flagged though? Many brides on here before have asked for help with filling out surveys...

Monica in Community Conversations, on February 26, 2015 at 11:00 AM

It was a no, but he still replied!! Ian plays Gandalf in The Hobbit and LOTR which FH is obsessed with which means I've become obsessed as well. Hopefully, our families see it and they realize that...

Do you ladies know about The Find?
Monica in Etiquette and Advice, on January 10, 2015 at 12:08 AM

Basically, it's awesome. Just go to thefind.com and type in whatever obscure item you're looking for. When my sister bought her house, she would put in "deep blue valence" and got a ton of results. I...
