I am 52 years old, and a mother and grandmother. My daughter is 29, and she has a 3-year old daughter whom I love more than life itself. So, 3 years ago I became a grandma, and despite my worries about being old, it's the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Now, I am with the love of my life and about to get married for the first time!! I am from the SF Bay Area (all my life) and work as a legal secretary for the past 30+ years.

2588 days agoHi all, I want to apologize in advance for the length of this post. I need some advice, but you'll need a little back story to understand. So, FH has one brother three years younger than him. Most of their lives, they have been close, typical...

2648 days agoOk, so this question could be for any sort of travelling, not just for honeymoon. I'm wondering whether I should go through a travel agent when booking our trip, or just do it myself. Normally, I would have no problem booking travel myself, but...

2665 days agoI tried finding an answer to this question on the forums, but everything there seems to deal with plated meals. I'm offering a buffet, with 2 or 3 entree choices. I'm thinking the venue will have to know how much of each type to make, so do I need to...

2685 days agoHi all, more of a rant here, since the decision has been made. I'm sad to say that we have decided to postpone about 9 months. Several reasons: medical issues, job changes, changing financial commitments, etc. If we tried to keep the same date, we...

2717 days agoHey, to all my Northern CA peeps: who are you using for photography/videography? I know this is an important choice, as photos/video are forever. I'm scared that I'll get sub-par quality or that I'll pay too much because I just don't know how much is...
