My fiancé and I have been together since March 2013, but we were high school friends since 2008. I’m so excited to marry my best friend, soulmate, and daddy of my fur babies. We love LOTR, traveling, and animals, especially our babes, an AmStaff and 2 kitties. :) We are going to New Zealand for our honeymoon and exploring as much LOTR land as we can!

Happily married 🎉

On a tight budget and not a huge fan of cake so we are just getting a small 2 tier cake at the local ACME and then probably a couple different varieties of cookies. I wanted to have one other option...

Seamstress contract the norm?
Val in Wedding Attire, on April 19, 2019 at 8:16 AM

My planner wanted me to go to DB for alterations (I bought my dress there) since if anything goes wrong, she said they must replace the dress. I have heard a lot of horror stories though about stuff...

Help pick our sides?
Val in Planning, on April 18, 2019 at 4:27 PM

Val in Wedding Reception, on April 8, 2019 at 6:22 PM

I know the term “open bar” is pretty broad and essentially just means drinks are on the hosts, so what does “full open bar” mean? We’re supplying the alcohol ourselves and are planning on getting 2-3...
