I've come to the conclusion that I'm a martian. I signed up for this forum to get inspired (or excited) about planning my wedding but it isn't happening! I am sick of people asking me, "So, how's the...

Hi all... I haven't posted since I got married, but wanted to share my photos. I found it helpful to look through pictures when I was planning, and hope mine can give some ideas as well. My whole...

Hi all... my hubby and I just got back from part 2 of our honeymoon and I am finally ready to give an overview of our day! It was really a wonderful wedding with very few bumps (that I know of). I'm...

So excited to see how everything turns out. A little disappointed that it rained so much last night and I don't know if our original ceremony site will work. But, the inside option will be beautiful...

Ugh! So I have known for a LONG time I don't have the best skin. It was the worst in high school, but over the last 10 years has been okay. So two days ago, a little bump on my right cheek grew double...

About to leave work for 2 and a half weeks! I'm so excited! Next time I sit at my desk, I'll be a married lady

I've never had acrylics done because my nails are pretty strong and healthy. I've always just grown them out and they are fine. Now, one of them has chipped really low and if I cut it my middle finger...

I'm going to be getting ready to head out to my venue for hair and makeup. It is so crazy how time flew by this last few weeks. Here are some things I've waited until the last minute on, but still...

I received a gift in the mail with no card or return address listed. I know it was on our Target registry. Does anyone know how I could find out who sent it?

I have my favors and am going to add a tag to them, but don't know what it should say. Thank you for coming? Our names and the date? What usually goes on it? The favor is a little flower pot (with...

So tired! But things look like they are shaping up perfectly. I did one last tour of the venue to make a few last updates. Out of 200 invites looks like we will be around 150 guests. We thought about...

I am working on my thank yous from my bridal shower, and don't know if the TY should be from ME, or from me and FH. Most of the cards only had my name on it...so should I say thanks from the both of...

I am having a hair and makeup trial on Sunday, and I can't seem to find any really good examples of bridal makeup (especially for latinas). Maybe I just don't know how to look, since I hardly ever...

So I had my bridal shower on Saturday (went well, yay!), and I want to start prepping thank yous and putting stuff away. Now, I know you aren't supposed to use the gifts until after the wedding, but...

My MOH is a busy, working mom (my sister) who lives several hours away from me. I knew that, but she is the one I want next to me at the wedding. So today is my bridal shower and bachelorette party,...

First of all, maybe it is because I am sick and miserable that this is bothering me more than it normally would. I received the bridesmaid dresses today for my 4 girls. They were shipped directly to...

3 days left til the deadline to RSVP, and maybe half have responded... I'm wondering if I should start calling people or what. I am glad that the wedding is looking like it will be smaller than I...

Every time I try to make my wedding plans less complicated, someone has to make it a tad more complicated. FH and I have been pretty independent this whole process, making most decisions on our own. I...

I know we all have questions that aren't "pretty", but may be serious concerns for some in regards to wedding planning. Since this is a bit of a sisterhood for many, go ahead and post your embarassing...

I am pretty much a no-frills girl. I don't usually wear makeup or spend lots of time (or $&dollar on my hair. The ONE cosmetic thing I allowed myself to try in preparation for my wedding is...
