The rehearsal dinner will be in a chic restaurant (so excited!). I'd like to wear a white, off-white or silver cocktail dress that is more modern or flirty, since my gown is very classic and simple....
One of my peeves seems to happen on this board fairly often. That is, a bride asks for advice, and posters offer all sorts of suggestions. Then the bride comes back with a response that sounds an...
I'm trying to schedule interviews for an open secretarial position and I just had my laugh of the day. Hint for job hunters: when someone calls you to schedule an interview, do NOT act completely...
FS's ex strikes again. A few months ago, I put up a ? about how she recently moved to our area and would occasionally hang out with us. The way she would go on about how well she knew FS, how she was...
Just wanted to share some pics from my Rat Pack theme birthday party. It was awesome - everyone dressed to the nines, drank champagne and martinis, and even did a Dean Martin-style roast! (Of course,...
FSIL is also engaged, and they're having their wedding about six months after ours. Their wedding is a big three-day destination extravaganza type deal. I found out over the weekend that she has set a...
Two of my girlfriends have music degrees. One is a cellist, the other plays violin. Both have volunteered to play at the ceremony. I'm so excited! I think it's so generous of them, it'll be such a...
And I am so excited! FIL's are hosting a dinner at Eventide, which is delicious...not to mention gorgeous. Question: should ceremony musicians be invited? Two of my girlfriends, a violinist and a...
Me! Oops? I had a doctor's visit yesterday, and my doctor pointed out that I've gained some weight. Specifically, I'm at the very top of the healthy BMI range for my height, and I could stand to drop...
...what happens when a couple writes their wedding website AFTER happy hour? https://www.weddingwire.com/shannonandbrandon
FS and I are having our reception at a pub in Arlington, Virginia. They are supposed to open a roofdeck, which in theory will be covered and heated, and most likely usable for our ceremony. I'm saying...
My colors are black and white with punches of red and yellow - a sort of graphic, mod look. (There's an inspiration board in my profile that shows what style I'm going for.) The bridesmaids will be...
It's always been a difference between FS and me - his family is very posh, educated and secure. Mine, well, the moonshiner is the "classy" one. For the most part, it doesn't matter. Well, except for...
Anyone know a good seamstress, and what I can expect to pay to have the bust brought in a little plus a hem and bustle? Trying to nail down the budget details. Thanks y'all!
16 days ago, the boss of my five-person nonprofit went into the hospital with preeclampsia that had complicated into organ failure, and gave birth 10 weeks early. She and the baby survived and the...
Nothing has made me more grateful for my FS than almost 20 years of dating. So let's tell our Worst Date Ever stories! 2002. I was meeting a gentleman for a blind date at a dive bar. The guy was way...
So, my sex drive has beeen flagging lately. I'm not into it, I feel stressed and tired and sex feels like another chore on the list. FS is taking it personal, it's not, but I feel so sad and alone!...
My fiance has asked five guys to be in his wedding party, whereas I've asked four girls. My sister, his sister, and my two oldest girlfriends (who happen to be sisters). The imbalanced numbers don't...
So, my boss is in the hospital, and the second-in-command has been in charge all week. Well, sort of in charge, she's leaving for a new job anyway, and sort of alternates between being in charge/a...
I had a horrible day, so FS and I ordered in some Chinese and we're watching "The Pirate Movie." You know, The Pirates of Penzance as interpreted by the year 1982, featuring that fuzzy guy from The...
