Hi everyone. Not sure how to put this so it doesn't sound complicated, but long story short, I just got a new job (started Monday) that I thought I would love but so far I've kind of hated it. The commute is long and the job itself is draining - I'm...

After months of searching, over 100 applications, and 2 weeks of bittersweet goodbyes at my old job, I finally start my new job tomorrow morning! It's totally my dream job, more than doubles my salary, and will mean so much for FH's and my financial...

If you're changing your last name after your wedding, how did you transition from your maiden name to your new last name? I mean especially in professional settings. I was thinking to just change my email signature like so: if my maiden name was Jane...

Hi everyone! I posted a few weeks ago about being discouraged by not hearing back from any employers, but 100 applications and 3 interviews later, I finally just got offered my dream position! I'm kind of still freaking out about it although I...

Hey everybody. So FH and I are in the process of finally moving out of my parents' home (long story, but it's been a rough 3 months). As we've been searching for places the last several months, we found a neighborhood in an awesome location that we...

How is planning going? What have you done? What do you have left? I have my venue and officiant, and I'm a graphic designer so I made my own invites, but I still need my dress and I need to pick a caterer and photographer. I'm falling behind fast! ...

Hey all! FH and I are trying to bounce around which poems/Bible verses we want read during our ceremony. I have two I kind of like (I'll paste in the comments) but I want to see options and what others are doing! TIA!

I hate writing out all this advice and then it disappearing. Stop hiding your posts after you get comments you don't like. I'm sure other people have the same question as you, so just do everyone a favor and leave it be. End rant.

Hi all! FH and I are hoping to purchase our very own house around the end of this year/beginning of next year. Any tips from those who are experienced in this? When should we start seriously looking at homes? We've gone on a few tours and open...

This has come up a lot on these forums lately and I feel like we don't have a decisive answer. Can guests be invited to the reception but not the ceremony? And if so, in what cases? I'm not really asking for me, I just want a general consensus on...

FH, FMIL, my mom and I are going to tour our top-choice ceremony venue tomorrow morning! Anything we should keep in mind or be sure to ask? TIA!

Hi all! So we're looking at cruises for our honeymoon and right now are comparing Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Any experience or words of wisdom on which one is better? (For honeymoons, if that matters) Additionally, how far out should one book...

Hi all! Just wanted your opinions on what time classifies as "not during meal time." If the ceremony is at 1 p.m., with reception to follow, would you expect a meal? What about if the ceremony was at noon? (Maybe add what times you WOULD consider...

How long did you allot after the ceremony for photos? (And if you're married, how long did it actually take to take photos, not counting the time it took (if any) to drive from ceremony to reception?) Was it the full hour? Or less? Our wedding is...

I've been posting a lot lately... sorry! Long story short, we need some sort of official proof of our marriage the day after our wedding for our honeymoon. Obviously we can't get a copy of the marriage license from the court before we leave--we're...
