Activity for AJ

Long story short, I have alopecia areata and one of my eyebrows has decided the month before my wedding is the perfect time to switch things up after 20 years. It's almost entirely gone now, meanwhile the other brow is remaining its usual thick...

Today we received an RSVP...exclusively for two people we didn't even invite. We mailed our officiant (a friend) an invitation, addressed only to HIM, and wrote "___ of 2 attending," so that he could bring a plus one. Well. His two roommates filled...

I brought my dress in for alterations in early July, but my wedding isn't until 9/29. I brought it so early in case it needed any bodice work (lots of appliques). It ended up only needing the sleeves taken in a little and a bustle added, I asked if I...

I'm trying to stay calm about RSVPs because our deadline isn't for another two weeks, but I'm the type who will plan and plan and plan until it's not an option anymore, and it's driving me NUTS not knowing who is going to be there!!! Part of it is...

We are taking a 4 day honeymoon at the end of December, and are on a pretty small budget which rules out international or island travel. We live in Northern MN so pretty much anywhere will be a warmer location lol. We have our choices narrowed down...

Long story short, my FH had to fill out about 10 of the 90 invitations because I went out of state for a while and didn't have those addresses before I left. I gave him instructions (whose specific names to put on envelope, where to fill in # of...

Brides. Mainly brides who are planning to self-cater your actual wedding. Please, hear me out and read this. Here is a glimpse into what you may find yourselves doing. Due to distance preventing about half of my family and friends from being able to...

I'm not super familiar with what non-religious and personal vows should be like. I just jotted down what came to mind and am hoping for some input. .......... Growing up, I was never the girl who cared about getting married some day. Meeting you...

My FH really wants a bubble exit from our ceremony. We would have done it outside the little chapel, but we are having a receiving line right outside the doors and will therefore be the first ones out there. We've decided we will have it as we walk...

My FH and I are marrying in MN in a few months. His whole family lives there, and my mom's side lives relatively nearby in WI. My dad's side lives in CT... that's where I grew up, and a lot of family, family friends, and friends are still there. More...

Our favor is very simple: two Lindor truffles in a little box. My FH is choosing one flavor, I'm choosing the other. They have all sorts of cool flavors...and he chose milk chocolate lol. It's his favorite, so okay, fine. But now I feel like it will...

There are so many posts about family drama on here today... I'm sorry some of you are going through that and I hope things work out! Anyways, it's really making me appreciate how lucky I am to be marrying into an amazing family and I thought maybe we...

You guys...I was on the lake today and sometime between the last 20 minutes in the water and me walking back up to the cabin, I lost my ring. 😢😭😭 We hung out very close to the dock in waist - deep water but there's a lot of silt and even with a...

Our venue is in a woodland setting, and we're incorporating squirrels in a few spots throughout our wedding. We like squirrels and it just kinda happened. Most of our decor is simple (eggplant satins, silver mercury glass vases, white votives on...

I posted a while back about struggling to figure out gifts for my bridal party. I decided on getting them bottles of wine from a winery in the town we're getting married in, and thought that was that! But then I started feeling like a bottle of wine...

Well I had my first dress fitting today! I bought the dress a year and a half ago so I was a little worried, even though I haven't gained or lost weight since then. Turns out I'm basically the exact measurements of the size dress I ordered. All it...
