FH lost his grandmother on Wednesday, and as the matriarch of a large Italian family, things are in a bit of chaos now while the politicking goes on. The oldest aunt thinks she's in charge, and has...

What are you guys doing for your honeys? Last year I got blindsided because FH said "let's not go crazy" so I got him a little mason jar with a fake blue morpho butterfly in it. (It was meaningful to...

MY STDs arrived today, but FH's grandmother passed last night, and her funeral is set for Monday. My original plan was to address them all this weekend since we'll be snowed in anyway and get them in...

Joke. Seriously, I would never. But I bet you were all fingers poised over the keyboard with send a scathing reply. All joking aside, FH's grandmother passed last night. Lots of family politicking....

When FH and I got engaged, some of his family members gave us little engagement gifts. A bottle of wine, a gift card for a nice dinner, etc. His mother got me a beautiful pair of purple seahorse...

There are a couple people I would like to PM, but not sure if I can. Anyone?

I was already a little late ordering our STDs, and then the vendor kind of hosed us by not responding to the order. I'm getting a refund on that, but now it will be another two weeks to get STDs from...

I'm trying to get the invitations off to the printers this week, but am having trouble coming up with the wording for our invitations. We're paying for the wedding ourselves, so is the appropriate...

I adore my FH. 1st, he's a saint just for putting up with me. 2nd, he has never once treated my kids like they were anything less than part of his family, even the one who isn't living with me right...

As I started looking for hair and make up vendors I was shocked that they seem to charge double for the honor of being the bride. I don't imagine they are going to take any more care of me than they...

My dad (who is technically my stepdad, but the man who raised me) is moving in with a woman sometime before my wedding. It's all very abrupt and we're all shocked, but I'm functioning from the place...

So, last month I was having an issue with my mom who couldn't understand the concept of buying a nice MoB dress. The first just looked awful, the second one didn't fit her properly (she's tiny and it...

Ordered my save the dates and never heard back from the vendor. Will have to reverse the charges and choose new ones elsewhere. It's very frustrating because they were the only ones who sold the style...

I am trying to figure out if my Aunt in law is fishing for a bridal shower, or if she's just curious. She tends to be very pushy (she's my FIL sister, and he often rolls his eyes and says "Another one...

At some point (probably in a BM related vent) I mentioned that my oldest (a 17 year old) had run away and was living with my former friends (BM related because they were supposed to be my Maids of...

So, some of you may or may not remember I was aghast at the upcharge the bakery was going to charge us to go off book for the cake we wanted, even though the we were already paying for their cake...

I can't remember how to find my favorite vendors. I thought it was a link in the vendor drop down, but obviously I'm wrong. Anyone?

This is a second marriage for both of us, but I eloped the first time so there was no first wedding for me. I think I've realize after a lot of soul searching today (and perhaps a little internet...
