3952 days agoLess than two months to go and I just feel like I'm going out of my mind. There's so much to organize and coordinate! And our wedding is at a site that's two hours away from us. We're driving down every couple of weeks, but it still makes me leery...

3954 days agoMy FW and I have been driving the death trap that is our well-duct taped '96 Oldsmobile Cierra since October. She previously didn't have a car, and I moved up here without one, so we purchased the rolling wreck for a whopping $500 and it's...

3956 days agoWell, it happened. I finally had a wedding nightmare, probably inspired by the fact that we had to buy a car unexpectedly, further limiting our already stretched budget. I know I've been kind of idle this week, but I felt like it was worth relaying....

3965 days agoFW found a centerpiece at a local grocery store that she liked, and we came up with a unique way to duplicate it and fit it to our theme and us in general. However, it requires me to waterproof paper. I know there are various sprays and substances...

3965 days agoSo, I was wondering -- how paranoid are you about people knowing things about you online? I'm very active online, and I'm easy to find (though I find it utterly bizarre that there's more than one Zoni), but my legal name pulls up pretty much nothing....

3966 days agoSo, some of you may already know that our hair and make-up girl cancelled on us this week unexpectedly. That leaves us with a serious problem. Our wedding takes place near a small town, one with very few beauty places. We've now called the grand...

3967 days agoI finally bought my dress! Yay. It's an A-line, and I quite love it. What I didn't love was the asking price of an appropriate slip from the...

3967 days agoThis week has been very good for wedding stuff. We got a few things straightened out, we both got our dresses (yay!) and I thought everything was going great. Then, last night, my fiancée gets a text from the person we hired to do hair and make-up....

3974 days agoIf you're looking for a vent, this isn't it. Let me start off with a fact: my mother is what most person would consider unpleasant. Not in her mannerisms (she's actually quite nice and very polite), but more in the fact that she is a raging racist...

3975 days agoMy FW and I want to put something into our wedding regarding how we met. That seems simple enough, but unfortunately, the exactly "how we met" makes it problematic. We technically met thanks to mutual interest in a Korean boy band. (We actually met...

3977 days ago... and quickly discovered that she has no idea how to address invitations. Or envelopes in general. Bonus points for the fact that she already put stamps on the envelopes, so I can't just use new envelopes. The envelopes all have the addresses...

3988 days agoIt looks like the spam bots are evolving. I notice one of the accounts is now sporting a user picture with a swimsuit. Guys, we're going to need a bigger can of bot-RAID.

3992 days agoSo my FW's mother has announced, just this week, that she wants to pay for our flowers. This is due to the fact that we had very few real flowers before, all DIYed due to our microscopic budget. FMIL thinks we should only have white flowers, because...

3994 days agoI consider myself extremely laidback when it comes to wedding planning. While FW and I have been planning, I've mostly taken to making suggestions and let my FW say yes or no, which has worked pretty well. I even bugged her about finalizing what...

3995 days agoWhen my FW and I picked our date, we thought it was ideal -- before the school year started, after the hottest part of the year and in-between our life's expected chaos of her college, an impending move and generally the universe exploding. That was...

3995 days ago...wrangled their FMIL into "helping" their future spouse make decisions? My FW is dragging her heels on everything, and I've basically teamed up with my FMIL so we can get her to actually make some decisions and get things done. I wouldn't have...
