Singing to Groom
SwoleMates2016 in Planning, on October 6, 2015 at 2:25 PM

SwoleMates2016 in Married Life, on February 9, 2016 at 9:09 PM

DH and I are looking at switching banks. We're currently with Farmers Credit Union but we aren't happy with having to drive about 30mins to talk with an actual person. Plus they tend to screw up on...

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have weddings
SwoleMates2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on January 26, 2016 at 3:22 PM

One of my closer friends just posted this on Facebook... I can't even. On top of that she's having a shower that people who aren't invited to the wedding are invited to and she's self catering. "Good...

It poured all morning and then just as we stepped outside for pictures it cleared up! I couldn't have asked for better weather in Seattle in January. On my lunch break and posting with my phone so...

Almost got scammed
SwoleMates2016 in Planning, on January 6, 2016 at 10:19 PM

FH and I were thiiiiis close to most likely getting scammed. My parents offered to pay for a DJ for the wedding because they know how bummed we were that our budget isn't allowing for it. It's so last...

We can get in to the house that we're all getting ready in at 10:30am. It is located 10mins from the venue. There is a kitchen so we will make breakfast. I will be doing my own make-up which should...

SwoleMates2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on December 5, 2015 at 1:32 PM

As many of you know FH was fired a little over a month ago. He then succeeded in finding a new job a few weeks later, only after changing his very Arab first name to a more American name (he literally...

SwoleMates2016 in Planning, on December 3, 2015 at 2:32 PM

Can I yell at her and tell her how tacky that is? Seriously. If wedding professionals are suggesting it I can see why brides might think it's okay, who else are they suppose to listen? It's a...

SwoleMates2016 in Planning, on December 3, 2015 at 11:14 AM

SwoleMates2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on November 30, 2015 at 1:19 PM

And how hard it is to say no! The advice I give to "just say no" because it's your day, so much easier said then done. FFIL and FMIL pulled the "we're not coming to the wedding if you don't invite so...

SwoleMates2016 in Community Conversations, on November 23, 2015 at 6:55 PM

FH and I got in an argument at lunch today. I was being over emotional about something that didn't really call for it. He says the dreaded "are you on your period or something'. Ummm no I'm not, I'm...
