This was in a recent Miss Manners column - I love the advice she gives to the letter writer. Exactly why do people think they're entitled to anything again? (entire column - with response - in...

This is for anyone who either had an updo for your wedding, helped another bride with an updo, or plan to have one yourself: when does the hair come down? For context: my hair is past-my-hips long,...

I just need to vent and get this out of my system. I usually keep my cool, but this has me angry! I ordered my dress in January, and I loved it the moment I put it on. I knew there would need to be...

Last weekend, I received a lovely (and high-end) gift off our registry in the mail. When I looked at the packing slip to record who gave it to us, I found that it was completely the wrong one. What I...

When I travel, I use Trip Case (and love it) to keep my fight, rental, and hotel information up to date. It's been a huge time saver at the airport - I can look at my phone to see what gate I'm...

Hello ladies and gents of WW! I'm having a good idea/bad idea debate with myself. Advice, opinions, and votes appreciated! Some of our friends throw a HUGE Halloween bash every year. They've...

FH and I are discussing our honeymoon; we've pretty much decided we'd like to go to Hawaii, but thought about adding a few days in Las Vegas before heading home. I was wondering if anyone had any...

Full disclosure: I do not personally have any tattoos yet. I have a couple of designs in mind, but I need to wait until after the wedding before I pursue any of them. So, does anyone have any skin art...

Thank you, Tina! I got my lovely, shiny penny in the mail yesterday! Then I had to explain to FH A) What the penny is for; and B) That no, I'm not planning to start taking classes anywhere. LOL

If I had to pick a theme song right this minute, it'd definitely be Meredith Brooke's "Bitch" - or maybe the Soup Dragons' "Divine Thing" Please tell me I'm not alone! What's your theme song for this...

What are some things you're tired of hearing when it comes to the wedding, or that get your dander up and ruffled? "It's your day, so we'll wear whatever you want" Umm, no. If you're wearing something...

Let me preface this post by saying: I used to work in a bank, and yes, I've seen this happen! (crazy as it sounds) I know tipping is a hot topic: who to tip, when to tip, how much to give them, who...

It's no secret among my family that FH and I are planning a "twisted traditional" kind of wedding (more me than FH). This means we're doing a pretty traditional, evening wedding, but there will be...

It's Friday; let's have some fun! What are some phrases or things you say frequently that make other people laugh or ask what in blazes you mean? They can be regional, cultural, just you, whatever!...

FH and I have been kayaking a few times (with rentals) and really enjoyed it! We'd like to purchase our own, but we realized we don't know enough about the different brands and styles to make an...

Hey all! Wow, I've never met so many people with my first name in one place! To everyone named "Lauren" - heck yeah, we have a great name! :-) I've changed my screen name to help me avoid confusion,...

Before I met FH, I'd never been in love before. Now that I am, I realize that love doesn't feel like I thought it would. What I imagined: a radiant, glowing smile on my face all the time; a whirlwind...

Hello all! I'm curious how each of you has (or plan to) addressed this necessary part of invitations: sealing the envelopes. I personally find licking envelopes distasteful (as in, the glue is gross,...

What are some pearls of wisdom you've acquired that you'd like to share? It can be anything - funny, serious, about life, love, friendship . . . anything at all! My first one: when driving down a...
