MonkeysandBananas in Community Conversations, on April 26, 2014 at 12:08 PM

And he is too sweet, his GM told me not to expect to hear from him for the next two days. Which is fine, he's there to have fun with his friends, but every time he has a moment alone, he texts me. He...

This is silly, but, I am not that excited about my dress
MonkeysandBananas in Wedding Attire, on April 2, 2014 at 6:23 PM

Ok, so the dress, I never really wanted one, a wedding dress that is, but I got one big puffy one because FH said that he aways dreamed that I would wear a white gown (or ivory) on our wedding day. I...

MonkeysandBananas in Planning, on March 24, 2014 at 2:58 PM

MonkeysandBananas in Style and Décor, on February 11, 2014 at 12:15 AM
