FH and I found a pretty good deal on our flight to London for our honeymoon in May and are all ready to book... but there's an issue with layovers on our available options. We're limited to one...

Rachel in Etiquette and Advice, on March 8, 2016 at 11:04 AM

I want to preface this by stating that I really like my inlaws. They are excellent people, and FH is very close with them, but his mom can be a little manipulative. And now that they found out that...

Rachel in Style and Décor, on September 29, 2015 at 2:33 PM

Cups or Bra?
Rachel in Wedding Attire, on September 3, 2015 at 2:49 PM
