I'm an offbeat 40+ bride! My hubby & I designed an upscale DIY Pirates of the Caribbean inspired wedding in a Napa wine cave (then a 1960s "Rat Pack" reception in Temecula two months later). Amazing. Worth the wait to meet the right match; our wedding was way more creative than I could have ever dreamed. Happy newlyweds.

Anyone give, or receive, anything fun to their sweetheart lately? Out of the blue, my hubby got me this sweet gift (what would we do without Internet shopping, right?!). It made my day. Aw. ...

Again, that dumb Taylor app seems popping up, even when I reply or close it. Please get rid of it. Hate it. Annoying.
We did enjoy a mini-moon but were finally ready to take our European honeymoon... in May 2020. Thanks, Covid. Going to Europe in 2021 will depend on several factors. And since we may move away from...
OMG, my hubby and I only recently discovered we like Chianti. We now have several wine bottles that would have been PERFECT for our wedding reception (I'm going to donate to Goodwill). If any of...
