What's the etiquette on gifts?
Valerie in Planning, on December 21, 2010 at 9:19 PM

FH and I came home to a box from Bed Bath and Beyond on our doorstep. I of course want to open it right away, but he said that if it is a wedding gift we can't open it until our wedding. I think...

woot!
Valerie in Planning, on December 19, 2010 at 2:57 AM

Picked up my dress today and it is resting in my dad's closet (miss it!). It fit perfectly!! No alterations needed that I can see, will only have to get a bustle installed. I haven't picked shoes yet,...

NWR: Ready for my keys!
Valerie in Married Life, on May 8, 2010 at 10:46 AM

Today's the day FH and I get the keys to our first home! We closed escrow on Thursday and are now homeowners! The seller needed a few extra days to get on her way which we were happy to give. But now...

a day of wedding happiness!
Valerie in Planning, on December 16, 2010 at 8:34 PM

1) Invites were sent Tuesday, and I already see people are RSVPing online! 2) Got a call that my dress is in (a week before I thought it would be sent!) and I'm going to try it on this Saturday! 3)...

FH Loves his wedding band!!
Valerie in Planning, on December 10, 2010 at 11:36 AM

I am so happy, and FH is so cute I can't stand it. He has been nervous about having to wear a ring because he doesn't like jewlery. When we were on vacation in Hawaii a few months ago he saw a ring in...

freakin mad, don't know how I'll sleep tonight
Valerie in Planning, on December 7, 2010 at 1:29 AM

I am going to have to switch photographers. I had a funny feeling when I hired this company, but it seemed like such a good deal (and I was in a hurry to start hiring vendors) that I ignored it. I...

Registry Question
Valerie in Planning, on December 5, 2010 at 10:51 AM

I've read in a few places to put more items on the registry than you have guests, but does that mean individual items or "groups" of items? For example, I'm counting 2 matching bath towels as one...

what are they called?
Valerie in Planning, on November 22, 2010 at 12:02 AM

I've seen pictures of this heel cover (a plastic slip on thing) that you can put over nice shoes so you they don't sink into the grass. Does anyone know what those are called and where they could be...

Thankful for my Coordinator
Valerie in Planning, on November 25, 2010 at 11:34 AM

I just want to say that today I give thanks for having such an amazing planner! She started as a DOC, but I was getting so overwhelmed (and emotional) at every decision I had to make and she jumped in...

wedding license... how far in advance
Valerie in Planning, on November 18, 2010 at 4:20 PM

Okay, so I looked into what I need to get my marriage license. In Los Angeles county a license is good for 90 days. Should I get it about a month before or earlier? Is it good to have a cushion after...

Hiring an all-in-one wedding professional
Valerie in Planning, on November 7, 2010 at 1:14 PM

I wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was thinking of doing this. I went to a wedding a few days ago where I noticed that the photographer was also doing video... Okay, that's cool, if he can...

Turn Around Time on BM Dresses @DB
Valerie in Planning, on October 31, 2010 at 1:32 PM

I am getting nervous about finding bridesmaid dresses in time for the wedding. I have been putting this off, waiting for inspiration to strike. I haven't found anything I LOVE, but I want to have a...

Exotic (safe) Honeymoon Locations
Valerie in Planning, on October 24, 2010 at 12:07 PM

FHs parents generously offered to pay for our airline tickets to our honeymoon destination, so a ton more options opened up! We've been thinking about going somewhere tropical but secluded. One spot...

Is this strange, or am I in denial?
Valerie in Planning, on October 5, 2010 at 11:31 PM

FH and I received a wedding invitation today from some friends of his. They are getting married on February 6th. Is it usual to send out invites this far in advance? We are getting married on Feb....

Ugh, can I register for a new laptop battery? This one is giving me serious problems and I'm ready to chuck the whole darn machine out the window! Also a new printer, because I have just wasted two...

Tonight FH and I are going to our first dance class! We missed the intro session because we were on vacation, but I hope we pick up fast! Also, totally unrelated, pictures stopped working for me on...

Decisions, decisions-Flower related
Valerie in Style and Décor, on September 11, 2010 at 1:26 PM

So I'm going for a very relaxed-gardeny feel to our reception. So far I've picked light purples and light golds as a main color, and I have been explaining to florists I've met that I want something...

Opinions on Necklace
Valerie in Planning, on September 5, 2010 at 11:55 AM

What do you think of this necklace on this dress... I'm worried it may be too much and overwhelm the dress with its subtle details. The dress is light gold with an ivory lace overlay, and I am using...

OMG, I'm a Maggie Bride!
Valerie in Planning, on August 17, 2010 at 10:29 PM

After yesterday's meltdown, I thought I was going to settle for a dress I saw that looked very good on me, but I didn't love. Well today, with FH in tow, I found THE dress! It was so funny, cause I...

Hmm...so THAT was unexpected!
Valerie in Planning, on August 17, 2010 at 1:48 AM

I was dress shopping this evening with my mom and sister. I try on the one I had my eye on when I came in the store and was shocked that it looked REALLY good on me. I mean, it fit very nicely, felt...
