I'm a second timer, after having been widowed in 2012. Never thought I'd find love again, but I met an amazing guy on eHarmony and we're planning our wedding. I'm a librarian, gamer, mom, baker, and love theater and learning new things.

Happily married 🎉

Food was Disappointing! Gah!

Last night we did or tasting for our dinner options with our venue. We tried 4 dishes, a chicken, a pork, a vegan, and a beef. The chicken was the only one gluten free. We had four tasters, me, my FH,...

Wedding postponed
Susan in Style and Décor, on April 1, 2020 at 5:44 PM

We postponed our May 25 wedding to October 11. I'm not too bothered by it other than we were under 60 days and are now back to nearly 200. Plus all our spring stuff isn't going to work in the fall,...

Is there some way to delete guests who are no longer coming? I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Bridesmaid Drama!
Susan in Family and Relationships, on February 28, 2020 at 5:10 PM

Just need to let loose with all this! It's all worked it, but TL/DR: My entire bridal party quit, but I fixed it :-) When my FH proposed to me, I immediately had a vision of how I wanted my bridal...

We are cat people and these are my three cats. The black and white one is Stepstool, named because she is CONSTANTLY underfoot. Her brother is Nermal and loves to sleep on his back like this all the...

Our wedding is in 4 months (shout out to my May girls, hey girls!). My FH’s sister is VERY child-centered and whatever her girls want is what happens. My FH is generally a peacemaker and afraid to...

Taking the Holidays Off?
Susan in Planning, on November 27, 2019 at 6:42 AM

I’m getting married in May and I’m thinking of taking the entire month of December off from doing wedding stuff. All the big things are done except a florist, and the holidays are stressful enough as...

NYC/NY Message Boards
Susan in Account Support, on November 22, 2019 at 11:03 AM

Could you possibly create a NYC message board, and then one for the rest of New York State? The city posts far outweigh the state-wide posts and make it largely useless to those of us not getting...

Invitations Disaster!
Susan in Planning, on November 19, 2019 at 11:20 AM

My FH was so excited when we got a 50% off our invitations discount. He wanted to put in all the information himself. I looked over everything, and thought it looked ok, but they arrived yesterday,...

We eloped!
Susan in Community Conversations, on October 15, 2019 at 4:28 PM

This afternoon my FH (or I guess H now??) eloped. We got married in the library where I work by the local magistrate. We live in the middle of nowhere so the only celebratory cakes we could get were...

Got my shoes!
Susan in Wedding Attire, on September 22, 2019 at 8:20 PM

I will start by saying that I know these shoes aren’t for everyone. But among my family and friends, my love of my Crocs is well known. When we announced our engagement, everyone started sending me...

My FH and I were stuck in a huge shopping mall yesterday while we waited for my girls to finish their shopping spree... In just under 3 hours, we purchased our wedding bands, toasting flutes, his...

Susan in Planning, on September 5, 2019 at 12:10 PM

My mom is extremely ill with dementia and unable to attend our wedding. My dad will be there with his lady friend. He is quite clear that he's never marrying her, but they have been together a decade...

Susan in Planning, on August 16, 2019 at 10:19 AM

I'm a bit nervous to be getting married on Memorial Day, BUT fives are my lucky number, and I feel quite confident getting married on 5/25 will be a good thing. Plus, we have lots of out-of-towners we...
