Hi! I'm Tina an older second time around bride who is a crazy cat lady, adores vintage anything, and loves to bake because it relaxes me. I'm a full time single mom to two boys and soon to be step mom to another! I am so happy to have met my best friend who I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with!

Happily married 🎉

Made my hair comb, but wondering about a veil
Tina in Do It Yourself, on September 19, 2019 at 3:19 PM

I couldn't find a floral hair comb online that worked for me so I made my own. I used one of the hair combs my mom always wore in her hair and hot glued the flowers and added the rhinestones. I also...

How far in advance did you have your trials?
Tina in Hair and Makeup, on September 15, 2019 at 7:27 PM

When did you ladies decide to do your hair and makeup trials? I'm six months out which I think is too soon. However, the mua that I've hired hasn't instilled confidence in me that she can create my...

Tina in Do It Yourself, on August 23, 2019 at 9:50 AM

For those of you who made/printed your own invitations, what did you do for return addressing. What I mean is did you hand write, print, use an ink stamp or use labels for your return address on both...

Anyone do a "familymoon" instead for those who have kids already?
Tina in Honeymoon, on August 22, 2019 at 12:21 PM

My FH and I are older and have combined three boys aged 12, 14 and 16. I have never been financially able to give my boys a vacation outside of our state and they have never ever complained and have...

Moving + Save the Date in one card?? What do you think?
Tina in Planning, on August 15, 2019 at 11:00 AM

What do you think of this idea or how would I work it? Let me start by saying we were never going to do save the dates just to save some expense. But in a couple weeks FH and I will finally be moving...
