My fiance and I live in awesome Richmond, VA with our two Jack Russells. We love hockey, wine, and making each other laugh. It's stupid how cute we are. Can't wait to get married to my best friend the day before our 9 year anniversary.

Happily married 🎉

What are your Mother/son dance songs?
Tori in Planning, on August 22, 2018 at 11:41 PM

My FH is having a super hard time picking one out. He doesn't want the typical song everyone chooses either. I wanted to see what others picked for some new ideas, besides the lists I can google.

Do the officiant/ushers wear the same tie as groomsmen?
Tori in Wedding Attire, on August 22, 2018 at 10:54 AM

Our officiant is our really good friend. I've heard both, but wasn't sure. The groomsmen are wearing eggplant ties. Should the ushers and officiant also wear eggplant or should we just give them black...

Save the Date address question
Tori in Etiquette and Advice, on August 12, 2018 at 2:34 PM

My FH cousins are in their early 20's and have SO's, but they both still live at home. I feel silly sending three Save the Dates to one address, but obviously I can't put 6 names on one envelope, lol....

Anyone change jobs in the middle of engagement?
Tori in Community Conversations, on August 14, 2018 at 11:26 AM

I am so confused. My current job I do not care for. I work too many hours and make way less money than at my old job. I have a week long vacation coming up in a couple months, not to mention all the...

Tori in Do It Yourself, on August 3, 2018 at 12:14 PM

Last week I printed half of them and they came out great but I ran out of ink. I bought more. My computer decided to update and now it's not compatible with the USB port to the printer. I've been...

Tori in Etiquette and Advice, on August 2, 2018 at 11:13 AM

So. My friend's mom is my wedding planner. He was the head chef at my job, and she is giving me a major discount, which is why we decided to hire her. She has given me a contract, and done services...

How soon should you do your first dress fitting?
Tori in Wedding Attire, on July 20, 2018 at 11:33 AM

My dress is ready! I was shocked because it only took three months to come in. I have 8 months to go until my wedding, and they asked when I wanted to come in and try it on. Is next month too soon? My...

Tori in Etiquette and Advice, on July 17, 2018 at 11:55 AM

I wanted to go to Pittsburgh and go to a hockey game, my MOH and other two maids seemed excited about the idea. The other one, who lives in Florida, said she didn't care, but financially I don't know...

Who's had the No Kids Invited Convo?
Tori in Etiquette and Advice, on June 15, 2018 at 12:44 PM

We're cutting the kids and my parents are convinced it will freak out my brother and sister in law and piss them off. They've even said to only invite them and no other kids, which is ridiculous...

Who's having their fur babies in the ceremony?
Tori in Wedding Ceremony, on June 22, 2018 at 11:31 AM

Me! Hopefully they'll behave lol. But I really want them to be there and they won't bother us so it won't matter. They should be fine.

Tori in Etiquette and Advice, on June 24, 2018 at 8:46 PM

I'm not sending mine until September so this could change, but if a close friend has a girlfriend but they've only been dating a couple of months, do you address it to Mr. Smith and Ms. Johnson, or...
