Officially Mrs. Mendez! New York native now in the sunshine state 😎 my husband and I grew up in the same neighborhood, Brooklyn. We couldn't stand each other, lost touch for 12 years and here we were planning our forever through Wedding Wire! We can assure you no one saw this coming but everything we've been through has been worth it to lead us back to one another 💙

Happily married 🎉

What would you have done differently with your Save The Dates?
Stephanie in Community Conversations, on February 6, 2019 at 1:29 PM

Stephanie in Community Conversations, on December 24, 2018 at 5:14 PM

Back in November I ordered this tiara on Amazon and finally received it today! I ordered it because I was convinced I should add some OOMPH to my attire since I'm normally a simple person. And this...

Honeymoon blues
Stephanie in Honeymoon, on October 31, 2018 at 12:23 AM

Blissextra.com Is it reliable?
Stephanie in Community Conversations, on April 25, 2018 at 5:25 PM

So we already found Bridesmaids dresses however I wanted to have a backup for them. I'm honestly trying to stay under $100 because they are paying for their own attire. I came across this site...
