Sexy Senior citizen hitting the aisle for a third time (they say that's the charm, right?) My FH is also on #3, and we both are super excited. This is OUR time to shine, rules and protocol be damned.

Happily married 🎉

So I've been wanting those signs for beach wedding, but $89 - $150 on Etsy was a big "no" for me. I was at the Dollar Tree and saw white wooden arrows that said "reception", "cocktails"...

So, I won't even get into the backstory about FH's cousin, but girls let me tell ya, even when you're senior citizens your relatives can cause such childish issues. UGH. So anyway, my question to you...

First dance?
Pat in Wedding Reception, on April 7, 2023 at 6:42 PM

So are you doing a nice, unrehearsed first dance .... or do you plan on wowing your guests with a choreographed piece? (We are old farts, so it's the plain old box step for us. 😄

Guest book?
Pat in Wedding Reception, on April 4, 2023 at 7:51 PM

Are guest books necessary? Will the guests be wandering around looking for one?

Wedding Nails
Pat in Wedding Attire, on March 29, 2023 at 2:03 PM

Okay, so OTHER than nail art, what are your plans for your nails? What color - white or pink or something else? I am really undecided. I get dip nails on a regular basis, so that part isn't a change...

Pat in Community Conversations, on March 2, 2023 at 1:32 PM

Really surprised!
Pat in Hair and Makeup, on February 14, 2023 at 3:11 PM

So I had a makeup trial today. I really have been going back and forth as to whether I want to spend the money when I don't normally wear a makeup, and I'm not really a big fan of looking like someone...

Guest Book?
Pat in Wedding Reception, on November 1, 2022 at 9:26 PM

Is a Guest Book necessary at the Wedding Reception? I mean, it's not like we are having hundreds of people and we won't remember who was or wasn't there. What is it good for? What do you do with it...

Pat in Community Conversations, on October 21, 2022 at 5:48 PM

So many of you have been posting about late RSVP's and people showing up that DIDN'T RSVP. I just had to post this picture I stumbled on. Made me laugh - hope it makes your stress a bit less.
