Activity for Sci Fi Bride

I was starting to worry because I couldn't find a wedding ring I liked to match my engagement ring. Not that they have to 'match' match, but FH got a vintage style engagement ring because I like antiquey jewelry so I wanted a vintage wedding band....

As I started looking for hair and make up vendors I was shocked that they seem to charge double for the honor of being the bride. I don't imagine they are going to take any more care of me than they are my attendants because there is a standard of...

So, last month I was having an issue with my mom who couldn't understand the concept of buying a nice MoB dress. The first just looked awful, the second one didn't fit her properly (she's tiny and it hung on her like a burlap sack with a jacket), and...

Ordered my save the dates and never heard back from the vendor. Will have to reverse the charges and choose new ones elsewhere. It's very frustrating because they were the only ones who sold the style I wanted. Now I have to find a whole new design....

At some point (probably in a BM related vent) I mentioned that my oldest (a 17 year old) had run away and was living with my former friends (BM related because they were supposed to be my Maids of Honor) who refusted to bring her home. I had to...

I can't remember how to find my favorite vendors. I thought it was a link in the vendor drop down, but obviously I'm wrong. Anyone?

So, some of you may or may not remember I was aghast at the upcharge the bakery was going to charge us to go off book for the cake we wanted, even though the we were already paying for their cake through our venue. So, in a random series of events,...

My mom is difficult at best. I've promised my sister (who is also my MoH) a giant bottle of Amaretto for taking care of her for me. She said she's going to carry it around like a baby, pet it, and name it for as close as they're going to be the day...

So, weird question: is it tacky to put used items on a registry? I'm an "older" bride and have most of what I want or need already, especially since FH and I just combined households in August. I LOVE my Stoneware, but it's a discontinued pattern. I...

Weird question of the day: if our envelopes are mongrammed (it turns out our save the dates don't come with envelopes, so I'm getting inexpensive ones from Vistaprint) whose monogram do we use? His or mine? I'd do without the monogram at all, but the...

I got divorced 7 years ago from an abusive man who literally left me and our two kids with the pennies in the couch to live on, no car, no job, a busted hot water heater and a house in foreclosure. I am thankful that I had a close community of...

I've called, texted, emailed, and Facebooked. I finally poked her adult daughter and said "Hey, I can't get a hold of your mom, have her give me a ring" and nothing. Dresses have to be ordered Tuesday. I think I just have to reconcile myself to being...

So, for those of you following my wedding follies, I decided to go with an uneven number of BM because I'm not going to just stick a warm body in a dress. If I can't have the people I WANT to stand with me, I'd rather have no one. (Well, not no one,...

....and....I finally got a guest list out of my FH this weekend. The only problem is his mother asked (and she hasn't been pushy about one thing so I see no reason not to respect her request) if we could invite 4 of her cousins from Italy. She...

What would you say is a reasonable budget for invitations? (About 100)? I finally got a quote back from the printer and I'm trying to decide if my heart should stop or if that's just how much invitations cost. Thanks.

I have been at an impasse between the two florists I like, and realized I really the centerpiece ideas of one and the bouquets of the other. Would it be that unusual to hire both, one for bouquets and one for decorations? Or would that be considered...
