Some of you may remember that my very Southern FIL's had been coming over un-announced. You also may remember that my FMIL really wants me to physically call her more often to check-in, say "Hi," etc....

I'm royally confused. I know our invites weigh 1.5 ounces (weighed them on our mail scale at work). I know price of stamps was going up at some point this month. I see that the Forever stamp (1 oz....

I'm still at work. A lot of the offices in our area have closed. We're hoping we'll get the word that we're closing early too. We'll see. Anyone else anxiously waiting in NC? How much are you expected...

We just picked out/ordered our bands yesterday from Kay. So, I'm curious, what did you/are you spending on your rings? Here's our break down: My engagement ring - $3000.00 My wedding band -...

This is just for fun. I heard about this on the Today Show earlier. Sorry if it has already been posted. I haven't been able to get on much the last couple of days....

I hate having dreams. Had a dream last night that my pregnant photographer had to back out of the wedding due to an illness after pregnancy, and of course, I was left in the cold without a...

Fashion, award winners, etc. Best look I've seen so far: Amy Adams Worst look I've seen so far: Sandra Bullock... and, sad to say it, J-Law. Love that J-Law won for American Hustle.

I've seen this on a couple of different sites that suggest "unique" things for your wedding. So, let's see... If you were attending a wedding with a caricature artist, you would... a) roll your eyes,...

I've read the Trip Advisor reviews... would love opinions from here. Yes, we know it's expensive. If you did go, did you take advantage of any water related activities (dolphin/string ray encounters,...

As in, how long did it take you to BREAK THE HABIT of writing your maiden name and start writing your new, married name? I've been trying to practice my full, to-be married name on scratch pieces of...

I think you guys saw my previous post about renting an extra set of chairs. My venue needs to get back with me, so I'm trying to lay low until I hear their input. They can provide 150 white, folding...

Finished putting together all of the wedding invites today. Whew! Of course, I started thinking about other things to have for the wedding. Venue has the white, wooden, fold up chairs (150) that are...

Anyone see any new movies during the holiday break? We saw American Hustle, and Wolf of Wall Street. American Hustle, eh, gets maybe 3.5/5 stars from me. It was interesting. The cast was well...

Which "parent" are you marrying/did you marry? What "parent" is your spouse marrying (or who did they marry)? I want to hear from some people who think this whole CONCEPT is CRAP, too. I love people...

My parents taught me to be relatively independent. I'm also an introvert, so I really don't have to be in constant contact with them, or anyone really. My FH though, is an only child. His parents (my...

What do your IL's/FIL's do that's really annoying? Mine like to come over to our house, unannounced, and also call my FH and I on a ridiculously un-needed basis. What do your in-laws do, or even NOT...

Does anyone (besides me) ever feel like they're raising a man child... or a baboon? My FH has been irking my nerves quite a bit lately. He just puts so many other things ahead of helping me keep our...
