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 🎉

This might be odd, but is anyone wearing a watch on their day?
Tina in Wedding Attire, on March 25, 2019 at 7:31 PM

This is actually really bothering me. I have terrible time ocd. I have to know what time it is at all times. I'm either checking my watch or phone and usually have a clock in sight too. This ocd is...

Tina in Wedding Attire, on May 7, 2019 at 2:01 PM

Hello! I took a long break from WW and popped back on today. My checklist says that we should be picking out the tux around now (10 months out). Does this mean actually going in to a place and having...

diy Brides, what are you working on?
Tina in Do It Yourself, on April 7, 2019 at 9:19 PM

Hey peeps! Just seeing what everyone is working on lately. How are your projects going? It's been all veil for me, so far I'd say about 13 hours of work and about 1/3 done. But I'm enjoying the peace....

Boutonniere advice please!
Tina in Do It Yourself, on March 23, 2019 at 10:22 PM

I just made what I hope to be my FH's boutonniere but I'm worried it's too long. What do you think? If I remove the top rose gold shimmer leaf then it's nearer 5 inches. Honest opinions please! ...

Just need to vent about my Fmil which makes me sad!
Tina in Family and Relationships, on March 16, 2019 at 8:26 PM

I love my FMiL. She is a wonderful person who was a single mom who worked hard her life to raise her son who I also obviously love. While she will never be like a mom to me I would like to say we are...

The start of my upcycling of my mom's veil!
Tina in Do It Yourself, on March 14, 2019 at 7:27 PM

The saga of my veil I've posted on the wedding attire board, but basically I'm using my mom's 51 year old mantilla chapel veil but making it my own by adding beading and lavender appliques. When my...

Veil with my dress....yes or no?
Tina in Wedding Attire, on March 8, 2019 at 7:16 PM

I am starting to wish I can wear a veil on my big day. Not going to cover my face, but just a lovely one to make my dress more bridal. But with my wedding gown being lavender I'm not sure how a veil...

Our venue's wedding coordinator is leaving...ugh!
Tina in Planning, on March 12, 2019 at 8:07 PM

While the venue we chose is right for us for many reasons one of the reasons is because the wedding/event coordinator is my FH's cousin! Well, when we met in January she said they didnt book until a...

It's the little things that make me smile ...
Tina in Family and Relationships, on March 13, 2019 at 9:51 PM

My FH is not romantic at all, it's not in his genetics. I've learned that he shows me he loves me in a lot of other ways. So when he says things that are sweet or romantic it really makes me smile. I...

Tina in Wedding Attire, on March 2, 2019 at 4:31 PM

So I've mentioned in other posts that Sophia Tolli is my favourite wedding dress designer. Every wedding dress pin before I was seriously looking were her gowns. I cannot afford her gowns so I never...

Does anyone else wish they could wear more fancy dresses since wedding dress shopping?
Tina in Wedding Attire, on February 28, 2019 at 7:35 PM

Since I've been shopping for my wedding gown and on websites with evening gowns and cocktail dress it makes me wish I lived a life where I had occasions to wear those type of dresses. I wear gym...

I just read the most vitriolic reply on a post on a topic on WW. I thought about responding but have decided that it's sometimes better to walk away. With that in mind, I am choosing to focus on...

There was a post recently about your first date with your FS and it reminded me of how that date was different from every other first date with guys. I have naturally curly hair...all of my life I...
