What the heck is this??

So today I went to meet the surgeon. I was excited since my shower planning got put on hold until we could figure out the date of my surgery. Apparently having a second parathyroid taken out is rare...

Hi everyone! It's a beautiful day in Michigan! My question is.. what do you think of a chocolate fountain. I know that they were very popular a few years ago but I'd really like to do this. I want a...

We just got our first RSVP. The couple was very nice and sincere but had to decline. I am not whining but I hope this isn't going to start a trend. Anyone else worried that a lot of people won't come...

It's been a super hard morning. I had to put my cat who was a diluted tortie to sleep this morning. We rescued her in November and named her Smudgee because she looked like she was covered in smudges....

Some of you know that I was married before. One of the very best things we did was get the venue to give us a basket of food left over from the wedding. I didn't eat at the wedding.. too stressed and...

I am a getting married (not the first time) and went to DB to look for a dress. I refuse to wear white since I've done that once. I decided on a lovely dress in the color of Oasis and my MoH will be...

I feel horrible like I am constantly asking for advice. My FH husband works with two women that he is friends with, he has been with that company for less than a year. We all attended a function...

Have any of you wished you could change your plans? I originally wanted to elope to Mexico. However, it's my FHs first marriage and he is an only child. I love and respect his mom and want her to have...

I am getting remarried in August. FH was never married and is an only child and we are doing a full wedding for not only him but because I adore his mom and want her to have these memories. Do we get...

My FH has a female best friend. I honestly can't stand her, and before anyone says the word, I'm not jealous of her. I do feel that she takes advantage of their friendship. She only texts when she...
