Activity for Emily

I'm torn - my mom is really pushing for a band but I always thought I'd want a DJ since they can easily cover a variety of music. Now I'm unsure because a band would be entertaining. So, what do you prefer? And why? Thanks!

Just bought a really pretty headband this weekend that matches the belt of my dress. I can't really find a ton of updos with headbands (except tutorials with stretchy headbands?). Did anyone have an updo with a headband and is willing to post a...

Hi all, this isn't about my wedding but now that I planning, it keeps coming to mind. A few years ago (before FH and I even got engaged), a very dear friend asked me to be his date to a wedding since he wouldn't know anyone. I agreed, but made sure...

Hi everyone....so I'm starting to look at photographers in my area and have found two in my budget that I like. I know I still have some time to decide, but I was wondering which would you choose? 1. Available for 5 hours, 1 photographer only, LOVE...

Since I moved out about 3 years ago, my mom and I are sadly becoming increasingly distant. We live only an hour apart, but they can never find time to visit. Okay, I understand. However, when I plan with them a good day to visit, they always plan...

When it comes to the wedding, FH is all about saving money in any way possible. He was 100% insistent we did not need a DOC. He said how I'm so organized, people are smart enough to follow a flow, blah blah. Well, yesterday we had a brunch with his...

Hi everyone! I've had many phone interviews in my day and I'd say most go well and lead to a next step. However this one I have on Monday is VERY important. The location is beyond ideal and the field/position is a dream. Just wondering any quirky...

One of like three things my FH has requested for the wedding is that we and a few of our friends/family do a shorter and more appropriate version of the dance at the end of Little Miss Sunshine. (when the family all goes on stage with the girl)...

FH and I got engaged a while ago when we were both super young and in college (19 & 20). Now that we're older and working FT for a while now, he's adamant about replacing my ring. The poor guy admitted to me yesterday that he's overwhelmed by it all...

I'm considering a pair of 'diamond' studs from here but wondering if it's worth it or just get a CZ pair for now

I can't find my intro post .... wondering if mobile messed up when posting. If not, I apologize for the duplicate! My name is Emily, I work in marketing. My FH is Ryan he also works in marketing. We've been together 3.5 years and engaged for 3 of...

Hi everyone! Late to the introduction game. My name is Emily and my FH is Ryan. We met 3.5 years ago on Tinder (lol). We got engaged after 6 months, super young. Fast forward to now, we're finally wedding planning! DW in the Outer Banks since we love...

Planning DW so I'll only get there a few days before the wedding. How important is the HMU trial? Specifically hair? The salon I like has done the style I like multiple times...wondering if it's a necessity

How does everyone feel about buying custom dresses from an Etsy shop without the bridesmaids being able to try them on? I'd let everyone pick the style they like when it comes time...not sure if that helps? ETA: spelling and grammar - it's pre-coffee...

Just went on my first (two) venue tours, woohoo! FH and I loved one and he's finally excited and getting into it (yes, even thought we're just shy of 2 years off) Anyway, we're 98% on booking this venue that's overlooking a Sound. However, I'd say...

Hi everyone, still far off from the wedding but since its DW need to price things out. Anyone have AFFORDABLE recos for photographers and hair/makeup in or around Outer Banks? Everything I've found so far is like double compared to other locations...
