NWR - Going to become a Michigan girl/ "American" sooner than expected!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on November 12, 2015 at 4:49 PM

So, after much discussion and back and forth, H and I have decided to leave our island paradise and move back to Michigan earlier than we thought! So we're moving back in January! I'm actually not...

NWR: The American government wants to drown me in paperwork!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on October 8, 2015 at 12:35 PM

So, I've been wishing the last week or so that there was a weddingwire for other things - i.e - my immigration paperwork! You ladies were all my source of sanity through out the wedding planning...

BAM! My American/British DIY, Outdoor wedding!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on October 6, 2015 at 11:55 AM

So it’s taken a while to get to it – but finally here is my BAM! With a mix of pro and guest photos, and what advice I can give, because I think that’s one of the most helpful things about the BAM’s....

Humble Brag? 5 week honeymoon is too long!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on October 4, 2015 at 8:21 AM

AKA - BAH! Actually, I just realised how long it's been since I've been on here! We were so crazy with the wedding, and then because our honeymoon consisted of moving around, a LOT, I haven't really...

The smallest of mini BAMs! (Extra pictures now in comments!)
Nicola in Wedding Attire, on August 31, 2015 at 2:56 PM

Like just one non pro picture as I don't have many of even the non pro ones. No one seems to have taken many! I'll save all of my advice and stuff for the big one, and I'll only say here that it all...

Over 60percent decline rate...*sigh* and apparently some people have to be a**holes... about it
Nicola in Planning, on July 16, 2015 at 4:36 PM

So this is mostly just a vent. Not a rant because I'm not angry, just disappointed. I always knew I would have a high decline rate for the wedding. Getting married in the US when I'm from the UK I...

OMG! It's today!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on August 29, 2015 at 7:09 AM

I'm up early and can't actually start doing anything for a couple of hours yet until the dew clears up so I am just sitting here thinking about the day to come. Can't believe it's finally arrived!

5 days to go and had my first (kinda) bridezilla moment!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on August 24, 2015 at 7:35 AM

Funniest part is that it wasn't even that big of a deal - but for some reason I got really pissed off about it. FH and his parents were talking about the fireworks and saying that at 9 it would be...

FInally had my hair and make-up trial! (Pics)
Nicola in Wedding Attire, on August 20, 2015 at 4:02 PM

So with just over a week to go I finally had my hair and make-up trial and I am pretty stoked with it. There are a couple of things we're going to change, a tiny bit darker on the eyes, and this was...

Nicola in Do It Yourself, on August 19, 2015 at 10:39 PM

Ok, so I am kind of posting a lot of DIY projects right now - but after having mentally planned everything for months, I can now finally start putting everything together, so I'm kinda overwhelmed. So...

First attempt at Bridesmaids bouquets (DIY paper flowers)
Nicola in Wedding Attire, on August 18, 2015 at 10:09 PM

So I'm finally in Michigan and am able to start on all my flowers. First attempt at the BM bouquet. I'm quite pleased. What do you guys think?

Missing Dad...
Nicola in Etiquette and Advice, on August 13, 2015 at 8:00 PM

I'm not sure what I'm really looking for, posting this - but here goes. My dad passed away last year very suddenly, and for the most part I've been dealing with it. Until the last few weeks. The...

Weird/Disturbing wedding dreams - who else has them?
Nicola in Community Conversations, on August 9, 2015 at 8:42 AM

With three weeks to go I seem to be having wedding related dreams pretty much every night. Some of them are 'everything goes wrong' dreams and some of them are just downright weird. And occasionally...

Just over 3 weeks to go - and I still don't have shoes to wear...
Nicola in Wedding Attire, on August 6, 2015 at 6:44 PM

OK, so this is finally actually becoming an issue! I'm three weeks out and I haven't gotten any shoes for the wedding yet. Part of the problem is that I have absolutely no idea what I want to wear,...

Rehearsal Dinner invite? Help?
Nicola in Do It Yourself, on July 31, 2015 at 11:50 AM

So I think I mentioned on here before that we don't really do rehearsal dinners in the UK so I'm sort of floundering a bit. We're going pretty casual, pizza and beer in a lovely B&B garden where most...

Acceptable Rehearsal dinner etiquette?
Nicola in Etiquette and Advice, on July 23, 2015 at 3:47 PM

So, we don't do rehearsal dinners in the UK - so I'm struggling a little with it. We've booked our rehearsal with our officiant. And we've booked a small outside garden space at the hotel where most...

Eeeeek My dress is in! But I don't get to see it for another month!
Nicola in Wedding Attire, on July 17, 2015 at 3:39 PM

Seriously, it's killing me! My Mum facebooked me yesterday to tell me that the dress shop had called and my dress had come in. She went in this morning to check on it (I wanted her to double check...

Completely NWR: Give me some unbiased feedback...
Nicola in Community Conversations, on July 15, 2015 at 4:46 PM

Ok, so this is completely not wedding related - but I need some unbiased 'crowd' feedback and this seemed a good place to get it. As some of you know I'm a writer - but the one thing I suck at is...

How many flowers do I need? DIY help!
Nicola in Do It Yourself, on July 14, 2015 at 3:20 PM

So, my fellow DIY brides who may have done their own flowers... I am struggling to work out how many flowers I'm going to need. I am making paper roses and then will be teaming them with some silk...

The best news ever!
Nicola in Community Conversations, on June 22, 2015 at 12:31 PM

So as some of you know on here I'm getting married in the US even though I'm from the Uk. It means that a lot of my family aren't going to make it, which does depress me a bit. But I've just gotten...
