Activity for Amanda

FH's sisters are performing our processional/recessional music, but I'm at a loss as to what to do for the prelude. I could hire our DJ to come early and take care of the prelude, but it'll add to our contract cost (which I don't want at this point)...

...it was the new pillows we registered for, from one of my good friends that won't be able to make the shower! (Hence why it was sent early.) FH and I mulled it over and decided there's a pretttttty good chance that we're going to get married in 44...

Don't do it! Specifically, the whole "expect 20-30% of your guests to decline" line that some people try to tell you. As of today, I've received 90 RSVPs out of 163 total invited guests. 7 of those are declines. Which brings my projected acceptance...

Guests are trying to ADD PEOPLE. Exhibit A: one of my guy friends wants to bring this girl that he won't acknowledge in public (so they're not actually dating). He'll know at least 50 other people at my wedding, so that's not an issue. I just want to...

Since we've already received over 80 RSVPs, I've started playing around with a seating chart. I'm trying to avoid splitting up families/friend groups. This is causing some tables to have 7 people seated there, and a couple of tables with 9. Is this...

What do you think of people other than the bride wearing white to wedding-related events, such as a shower or the rehearsal dinner? Last week, FMIL and FSIL came over to drop off some wedding stuff. While she was there, I had FSIL take a look in my...

I'm getting seriously annoyed/frustrated. My shower and bachelorette party are on August 3rd, and invitations have not been sent out for either event. And of course, there's nothing I can do about it. Is

Especially Lynzey and Almost Mrs D! I know I'm forgetting a few others, too. Don't stress, enjoy every moment, and we can't WAIT to see pictures when it's all said and done! Have beautiful days, pretty ladies!

And I'm soooo nervous. A lot of you may remember my near nervous breakdown that I had during my first fitting. Here's hoping that the alterations team worked their magic! I'll recap and hopefully post pictures this afternoon. Last time I was too...

August 23rd should be a gorgeous day in Maryland! Oh man. If I'm this weather obsessed now, just wait until I'm 10 days out. August 2013 1st-3rd. Oppressively uncomfortable: heat indices in urban areas soar to 100 and 110! 4th-7th. Showery weather...

This might be a dumb question, so I'll make it quick. I've had my passport since 2005, when I was 17. It expires in 2015. The thing is, (IMO) I look a lot different now than I did at 17. Do I need a new passport, or is the one I have fine?
