I’m a mother of a two-year-old son with my fiancé. We’ve been together for 8 years, engaged for 2. I work in the early childhood education field, currently as a parent educator but previously as a daycare administrator. I’m indecisive and overwhelmed by this whole process 🙃

Happily married 🎉

Help finding a veil!
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on August 28, 2019 at 9:17 AM

I am looking for a veil. I like the style of the first photo, how it is pinned on two sides. My dress is the second picture; it's from David's Bridal and they called it champagne blush or ivory blush...

Money, money, money
Shannon in Planning, on June 2, 2019 at 6:51 PM

I am just feeling a little like giving up right now. I have been dreading the expense of the whole wedding thing since becoming engaged. I wanted to forgo a wedding and just go to city hall. But my...

I found the dress!! It is nooooothing like I was thinking I’d pick. But after like 6 others, and being about ready to “settle” for one I thought I liked, this one was IT. Now I’m curious how you would...

Colder weather ideas?
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on October 24, 2018 at 11:17 PM

I will be getting married 10/19 next year, in Western NY (the Finger Lakes). Originally a google search showed me it has been on the warmer side of fall on that day for the last few years. But this...

What color wine bottles??
Shannon in Style and Décor, on September 1, 2018 at 8:56 PM

My fiancé likes the idea of using wine bottles and twinkle lights as table decorations. He thinks clear bottles with warm lights will look better than a tinted bottle with warm lights. He keeps saying...

I just want to share how excited I am that my fiancé and I have finally made a decision on the wedding other than the date and venue. We decided on a dusty blue, burgundy, and grey color scheme! Now I...

I did an Amazon registry for my baby shower. Thoughts on it for a wedding registry?

Engagement ring conundrum
Shannon in Community Conversations, on September 2, 2018 at 5:33 PM

The engagement ring my fiancé proposed with is nothing like I’ve dreamt of. We’ve been together 7 years and I had shown him pictures before of stuff I liked. Basically, I wanted a vintage looking...

How to keep track of decisions?
Shannon in Planning, on September 1, 2018 at 9:26 PM

Are there any apps you guys use to organize your actual decisions? Like I use Pinterest to find ideas and save them. But my mom made a point that I need to start picking one idea and sticking to it,...

Dream Dress is Out of Reach
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on August 19, 2018 at 11:36 PM

I found a dress I am ABSOLUTELY in love with. It’s simple, flowy, lacy, and was well within my budget. I was hesitant to order it because it was an Etsy shop and I’m scared to order a dress online...
