Is this a normal mil thing?
The Sealpups in Married Life, on November 10, 2019 at 6:37 PM

We are living at my parents now- still saving up for that house. Here’s my situation - I just finished grad school and have been working and job hunting. Most of the time my mom cooks and my husband...

How do you deal with your mom now that you’re married?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on October 3, 2019 at 7:43 PM

My mom is a control freak- always has been. She’s the oldest of brothers and has this entitlement attitude and has to give unsolicited advice. She means well but most of the time, I think it’s from...

How do you feel about guests posting pictures of your wedding that you shared with them?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on November 10, 2019 at 12:06 AM

We asked for an unplugged ceremony and that did not work. We got our pics back from the photographer and are only giving 1-2 printed pics to people in our wedding party. Our photographer ask that if a...

Should i give some guests copies of pics from our wedding?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on October 28, 2019 at 10:46 PM

We had an unplugged ceremony and of course, no one listened and a few people took pictures and posted them on social media. Husband and I don’t post often but we thought we deserved to be the first...

What did you add for your parents’ brag book?
The Sealpups in Planning, on October 21, 2019 at 2:06 PM

Husband and I were really strict with pictures. We requested for an unplugged ceremony (no one listened, of course), so there were pictures being posted on social media right after the ceremony. I...

What can i do to fix my wide torso?
The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on August 12, 2019 at 10:34 PM

I’m small/short, 5’1. Had PCOS & hypothyroid and was lucky enough to reverse it with keto since last year (before I was engaged). I’m a bit curvy and have lost tummy fat. (Thanks to my PCOS, I...

What is the etiquette with sending newlywed Christmas cards?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on October 11, 2019 at 3:54 PM

We got married in September and will be sending our "thank yous" in October (with our wedding picture). I'm looking at Christmas cards and there are some nice ones that say something like, "The FIRST...

Is this a good alternative to a "thank you" card?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on October 1, 2019 at 3:39 PM

We've been married for a month today! Yay! I was planner and day-of coordinator (didn't realize the church and venue coordinators were different - they were almost absent throughout), so when it came...

i feel so bad that i can finally admit that I'm not happy with the wedding day
The Sealpups in Married Life, on September 24, 2019 at 3:46 PM

I aim high but understand that things aren't perfect. I'm very flexible and find a way to justify why things happened. My Buddhist friend told me, "things that happen are suppose to happen and it...

What was your living situation like after marriage?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on September 20, 2019 at 7:35 PM

DH & I are in a unique living arrangement after the wedding. Within the past year, I graduated from my master's program and within 8 months, we were engaged & married. I'm currently going...

Is this a silly idea for celebrating marriage milestones?
The Sealpups in Married Life, on September 20, 2019 at 1:38 PM

We had a custom order cake topper and it came a week too late. Needless to say, I was very bummed. I'm a flexible "Type-A"; I get that things will not be perfect but I aim too high sometimes. Anyhoo,...

What happens after the wedding? (process of name change, joining accounts, etc...)
The Sealpups in Married Life, on September 20, 2019 at 3:55 PM

Now that the wedding is over, I have so many things floating in my head of what I need to do: 1. Name change: the guy at the marriage license place said to start with either driver's license or social...

How soon do you send "thank you" cards?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on September 16, 2019 at 3:35 PM

It's been less than 15 days since our wedding and everyone is so anxious to see pictures or get a "thank you" card. My plan is to send "thank you" cards once we get out professional photos back and...

Do you have to be friends with your husband's family?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on September 13, 2019 at 5:12 PM

I was friends with my husband's cousin before we were dating. Unfortunately, I learned (the hard way) that was a very toxic friend (jealous, competitive, selfish, user, narcissistic). She piggybacked...

Did you make photo books for your wedding pictures & details?
The Sealpups in Planning, on September 10, 2019 at 2:59 PM

There were so many little details that went into planning my wedding & I don't want to forget it. For example: i made an infographics poster that says little stats on our relationship before we...

Here is what went wrong with my wedding and my advice... venting time (thanks for listening)
The Sealpups in Married Life, on September 6, 2019 at 4:05 PM

I had an Asian Catholic wedding & I should've known my "audience" better. My "10 steps ahead" of planning and timelines were not heard because people DID NOT LISTEN nor DID THEY CARE. :/ I planned...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how a diy video booth?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on July 18, 2019 at 1:57 PM

I would really like to have a video booth more than a photo booth. I think it's a fun thing to look back on, especially when people drink and record various messages. There aren't many of these in my...

Question about vendors...
The Sealpups in Planning, on August 28, 2019 at 8:03 PM

I feel like I've been doing the jobs of BOTH my vendor coordinators - church and venue. They have finally reached out to me the week before my wedding - is this normal? I know that there are other...

The Sealpups in Planning, on August 26, 2019 at 11:59 PM

My RSVP was at the beginning of the month. I gave it 3 days after my cutoff to reach out to people for "last minute" RSVPs. When I messaged one cousin, she said she didn't realize the RSVP due date. I...

Forced closeness with family members after the ring - have you gone through this?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on August 26, 2019 at 6:25 PM

I'm a nice person - I don't go out of my way to be mean to other people. When my FH and I first started dating, his sister went out of her way to not be inclusive. The unofficial scapegoat was that I...
