Saga of the $5 wedding dress Pt. 3
W-K in Wedding Attire, on August 14, 2019 at 10:12 PM

I found this dress at the thrift store a few months ago. It was $5 so, of course, I bought it. As a back up in case I couldn’t find something I LOVED. Which, honestly, hasn’t happened within my...

I was so excited for my appointment today. It went OK. I also booked to look at bridesmaids dresses as well. Was a little irritated because over the phone they said they had tea length slips to try on...

I haven't been on here in a few months but my heart now feels ready to start wedding planning again. Last I was on here I had just gone dress shopping with my sisters and we had picked out our dresses...

Processional/ Recessional Music
W-K in Planning, on May 30, 2019 at 3:38 PM

Stating this up front: We are not having a DJ so there's no one to fade in/ out. That being said FH and I have decided on November Rain by GNR for our Processional and Recessional music. Problem is...

Second Timers- walking down memory lane
W-K in Community Conversations, on June 5, 2019 at 10:15 AM

Today would have been my 14th wedding anniversary with my ex husband. It’s the first after our divorce. Although we haven’t been together in 3 years it feels just really odd having the memories pop up...

The more weddings i see... the less i want it
W-K in Community Conversations, on May 31, 2019 at 3:04 PM

Is there like an anti-wedding somewhere I could see lol? Even the non-traditional weddings seem to blur together into this one generic lump of white, cake, and flowers. Starting to think this whole...

We’re having a cake and punch reception after our ceremony. 2-3 hours total in the afternoon. Our church hall does not allow dancing. I was thinking of having some indoor or group games but I’m at a...
