Has anyone else seen what's going on over there? So scary! Prayers for all the people over there that they may be safe and find comfort in this scary time. It's amazing how fast something terrible can happen, makes you want to squeeze your loved ones...

Why is noticing that you have 5 stars instead of 4 so exciting?!?! Why did it just make my day so much better?!? I definitely feel like one of the cool kids now And that I have way too much time on my hands....lol.

I've been so MIA lately due to stress. Looking at all your BAMs and reading the fun conversations helps a bit though! One week down and no word on a job for FH. Two questions for you ladies... FH has a very Arab and I mean VERY Arab sounding first...

I have it stuck in my head that having wine, beer, and 2 signature cocktails will cost less then having an open bar. Can anyone help me out with this as to why it actually would cost less? aka legit points to bring up with FH, ha. He's pretty set on...

My FH just lost his job. Our wedding is 79 days away and the plan we had to save hardcore till the big day is screwed. We canceled our plane tickets to Disneyland, luckily it hadn't been 24hrs yet. We may have to cancel the whole thing if he can't...

Because FH is really insistent on not seeing me till I walk down the aisle we will not be doing a first look. Ceremony is outside at 4:30pm (inside a see threw temp controlled tent) and will last about 20mins with the reception to follow inside....

Where did you get your "bride" shirt? I want something to go to breakfast in on the big day so it needs to be public appropriate. It'll be January so preferably no tank top. I've seen a few tank tops here and there is stores but nothing that I love....

Would it be acceptable to hand deliver invitations to save on postage and give it a really personal feel? We are only inviting one OOT couple. The rest on the list we see probably once every two weeks or so. What do y'all think? They would still be...

Yesterday I posted that we made our decision on Disneyland for the HM, yay! Anyways, now I have so many questions. I found a few good past discussions about things to do so I think I'm covered there. My two big questions are 1) is one night, two full...

I need help! FH has thrown the burden of chosen a HM location on to me. I shouldn't really call it a burden, I essentially get to pick anywhere I want. But I am such a planner and budgeter (yes that is a word), I'm getting really really overwhelmed....

We won't be having a BP. I'm completely lost on how to handle the processional. Would it be awkward for the ceremony music to start and then *bam* there I am? It's going to be a night wedding and rather formal. My officiant is my father. I'm walking...

We aren't having a BP so there is no "best man" to throw FH a bachelor party. He has an older brother but he is currently in the middle of a horrible divorce and has no spare time, energy, or money to plan anything. FHs two closest friends are both...

One of my FH's favorite things about me is my singing voice. He's telling me constantly how I could record an album and how nothing calms him down more then me singing. Yes I know he's my FH so I could have the shittiest voice in the world and he'd...

In contrast with the "Train" discussion, I wanted to ask any ladies if they didn't have a train. I'm thinking of chopping my train off. My tailor said it would lay beautifully without it, take off a ton of weight, not have to worry about bustling it,...
