2514 days agoFinally the crinoline came in for my dress! Now I can’t pick which way I want to wear it. I intended on making it shorter by bringing up the waistline but now I’m not sure. Halp!

2525 days agoLast night FH and I took a big step and opened up a joint account together. I have never had a joint account with anyone and it makes it feel so very real that we are blending our things together. Ex Husband and I had separate accounts our entire...

2526 days agoAgh! What a sigh of relief! Backstory- we had to change our wedding plans because of a family emergency. We moved things up and shortened our guest list to immediate family. But even before this we didn’t have permission to get married there without...

2530 days agoSo I get this email this AM from my step mom saying she bought a wedding dress for me and to not be mad. A few minutes later I get an email from Wish confirming her order. I’m cracking up over here. At least she only wasted $16? I’m curious to...

2531 days agoJust venting a little bit. I LOVE my church. But I go to a large church that feels very disjointed sometimes. Like they're so big they have no reason to be this disorganized. I've attended this church since I was like 13 and became a member last year...

2534 days ago54 days left to go! We ticked off more on our to do list, picked out and ordered our wedding bands. And ordered my veil! I don’t typically do online orders so I’m looking forward to seeing how the veil turns out. Fingers crossed it’s what I’m...

2536 days agoAnother thing checked off the list! We're going with a non-traditional torte that's strawberries and whipped cream. We're also going to do an apple pie tart. Non-traditional wedding cakes. We may do a cake topper but haven't decided on that yet. As...

2537 days agoI found this dress at the thrift store a few months ago. It was $5 so, of course, I bought it. As a back up in case I couldn’t find something I LOVED. Which, honestly, hasn’t happened within my now pretty much $0 price range. I used to...

2537 days agoAck! We've chosen to change our date from November to October for varying reasons. I felt so... lost at the beginning of the week here wedding "planning" for something that's not what I originally envisioned. Then my sweet FH reminded me that what's...

2540 days agoI haven't been on here in a few months but my heart now feels ready to start wedding planning again. Last I was on here I had just gone dress shopping with my sisters and we had picked out our dresses for my November 9th wedding. And then... my world...

2596 days agoWas really nervous about going to premarital counseling but it went really well. In order to get married in our church you have to go. We were both a little worried but the counselors who agreed to mentor us are on their third marriage themselves...

2605 days agoI was so excited for my appointment today. It went OK. I also booked to look at bridesmaids dresses as well. Was a little irritated because over the phone they said they had tea length slips to try on but they did not. I told the consultant that I...

2608 days agoToday would have been my 14th wedding anniversary with my ex husband. It’s the first after our divorce. Although we haven’t been together in 3 years it feels just really odd having the memories pop up in my Facebook feed today. We had eloped in 2005...
