Just to get it off your chest.
I think I want a traditional porcelain top, but I want to see what everyone else is doing too because there are soooo many options.
My cousin is getting married one month before me. She asked my daughters to be flower girls/junior bridesmaids (they'll be 6.5 and 5). What is my role? Do I offer to help with her shower? I love that...
As well as the typical booking flights and hotels? hypothetical example: I want to go visit CA for 10 days. I definitely want to see Alcatraz and Big Sur, but I'd also like to visit as many other...
I can't stand when someone refers to the wedding as "my special day," or "FH's and mine special day". Our caterer kept saying, "for your special day we'll plan on having ..." Or "you can let us know...
FH asked his cousin to be his BM. He and his wife have 2 kids (8 and 6, I think). They live a few states away and will probably fly in for the wedding. His cousin called over the weekend to say that...
Or, as we say in Pittsburgh. . .I'm just being nebby LOL How old are you? How old is FH? I'm just curious to see where I fall on here. I feel like I'm one of the older brides, maybe? I'm 35 FH is 42 ...
And I'm not sure how to tell FH We got engaged in December 2012 and right away set the date for November 30, 2013. Neither one of us wanted a long engagement BUT the reality is both of us are bringing...
The groom's cake is also displayed / cut at the reception right? And traditionally isn't it chocolate since the wedding cake is white? FH mentioned something about having the groom's cake for dessert...
My electric bill for January was $95. My house is just over 1000 sq ft of living space and it's all electric. (although I do have oil heat). Anyway, that was crazy high so I started unplugging...
From her kindergarten v-day party. I now get to go to school tomorrow and be THAT parent. Lip gloss Kindergarten v-day party 5 and 6 year old girls Catholic school Seriously?? Wonder what the boys...
What program did you use to create the maps so your guests can find your ceremony and / or reception site(s).
Is it okay to put the Reception info and Accommodations info on the same enclosure? On one hand it's one less piece of paper for guests to misplace or have to read, but on the other, that might be a...
OMG, I feel amazing. Forget losing weight (that will be an added bonus), but I just feel better.
I started a fantastic book last night called "Tinder Box" that was written about the Iroquois Theatre fire in 1903. On a girls weekend last October one of the stops on our Haunted Chicago Ghost Tour...
I want to get FH a fiance card for V-day. It's our first and last as an engaged couple. Hallmark has ONE fiancee card (you know, for a guy to give to a woman), but ZERO fiance cards. They didn't get...
LOL it figures I'm pretty sure all it means is that I have to buy the cake next year. WHEW :-P
Hope whomever is sending it feels better about themselves now.
There's a lot going on with my dress. Lots of detail and angles so I want to keep my bouquet simple. I'm having a hard time finding a simple bouquet using flowers that are in season in November. If...
We're having a hotel ballroom reception. Options are limited for a November wedding in my teeny tiny hometown so it is what it is. The ballroom carpet is red and gold. It's shocking and certainly NOT...
