Ok. Here's what's left. Centerpiece stuff - $50 (maybe an additional $25 if I can find charger plates that cost $1 a piece) Hair and gas money for hair lady - $120 Gift card for officiant/present - $50 Picture...

Just three more weekends after this one! Today I bought some new perfume for the wedding and I had antique lace handkerchiefs embroidered for the ladies who are helping me. And my mom's best friend surprised me with a $500 check for...

My engagement ring is very unique - it was custom-made and he designed it without thinking about a wedding band. The sides are branches that split, and the petals jut out so much that a band will not fit. I decided, therefore, to get a band for my...

I just bought a bunch of antique lace handkerchiefs that I'm going to have embroidered for my bridesmaids, my 2 cousins, and 4 other females who have been helping me tremendously with my wedding. I was googling handkerchiefs to find embroidery ideas,...

I had my shower this past weekend, and my sister told me that when she went shopping, the price on the registry printout was NOT the price that came up when scanned at the register. When she asked the customer service person about it, she was told...

And it was great! I had about 15 ladies show up, and there was good food and company. And I got lots of things I registered for! I am now almost ready to host and awesome wine-and-cheese party or afternoon English tea. :-)

A lovely box from "Bed, Bath, and Beyond" was on my doorstop when I came home. I can't wait for FH to come home and we can open it!

I went in for my first fitting yesterday. When I picked up the dress, the alterations lady, when making my appointment, said that she might have to take it in a smidgeon. Then yesterday, at the appointment, with full support undergarments on, the...

So most people don't consider camo elegant. That's fine. Is anyone here, besides me, not having an elegant, formal wedding? Weddings haven't always, historically, elegant.

Happy New Year Y'all! What are you/did you give as a hostess gift to the person/people throwing your shower? My shower is in two weeks. I'm thinking about making a basket of candles and coffee (her two loves).

I've been good. I don't post any wedding details on FB because we're not having a huge wedding. I have lots of people that would want to come, but we had to pick and choose. I posted the following: "Good-bye 2013. This is my last New Years' Eve as a...

I love make-up. I wear it daily and I'm a theatre person on the side, and I always do my own stage make-up. But here's my question... for those of you who had engagement photos done, did you wear normal makeup or did you use more? My photos will be...

So excited!!! If only I can get FH to sit down long enough to help address his side...

I'm looking at earrings for my bridesmaids, and I'm thinking about getting each one different pairs. I know I want cameos, but there are so many terrific styles (flowers, butterflies, etc.). Anyone else having their BMs wear different jewelry?

Woo-hoo! The online merchant that makes the necklace I want for my wedding is having a one-day sale on their entire site. 20% off means I'll save over $100 on the necklace i want. Yay! Anyone else finding good deals for their wedding?

I was cleaning my jewelry in the bathroom and FH called to me, "Hey, have you ever seen the show 'Bridezillas'?" I said, "No. Why." "It's on right now." So I go into the living room and he is engrossed. "These girls are nuts," he said. Hahahaha....
