Almost... our acceptance rate currently is 95%! Good, and stressful, since we over invited by about that many. So I think we are going to end up at exactly or just under our venue capacity. That is with 42/92 replies received. so 46% of responses in,...

I am so, so happy! It looks even better in person than in the photo. I was so nervous because I am not a big makeup person. The MUA was sweet as could be. Can't wait for the real thing! p.s. I was even so happy I tested out the cry-proof-ness. ...

Did y'all see the sneak peek of the photos of her dress? The front was pretty; the back was, to me, just odd. Definitely different strokes for different folks.

They came yesterday! My sister is going to do the addresses. The font I used probably could have been one or two points larger, though it looked fine on the website preview page...but oh, well...not enough to re-order.

Thought of y'all today. Hobby Lobby has some pretty peacock things in the new Christmas decorations. Just FYI!

OK, ladies...might need a little help from you here. My dear mother will be 83 years old when we get married, and she is TINY (95 lbs) and short (Maybe 5' tall, tops--osteoporosis). (also very picky about what is comfortable, but she might have to...

So...yesterday was interesting. Visited my mom, who has mild dementia, and she asked how my husband was. I had to remind her the wedding hasn't happened yet. The wedding I am having here at home instead of a DW just so she can be there and appreciate...

Question sums it up. My FH didn't think we were even going to do one, but he moved into my house and we are using the same dishes and flatware and towels and sheets I have had for years, so ...um... yes we are. I don't think he wants to spend a lot...

So frustrated. Before I spend time on the phone, I'd like to know if some DJs are even available for my date and what their pricing structure is (if not on the website). If they don't answer email now, how can I expect them to be responsive if I were...
