3111 days agoLong story short: to keep the peace with my family, I'm inviting aunts and uncles as family units so that they can choose if my cousins come along (invitation is addressed to "The Smiths" instead of "Joe and Jane Smith"). I really don't care to have...

3124 days agoGot my hair and makeup done for our engagement photos tonight. We're gonna do slightly more glam for the wedding, but here's the base look. What do y'all think?

3126 days agoDid anyone else show FH/FW their dress before the big day? I couldn't help it. I'm a terrible secret-keeper and he was excited to see it! Eta inclusivity

3128 days agoOn a whim I searched Facebook for some wedding dresses and found my dream style in my size for only $200. I went to try it on today and OMG, even in the middle of a strangers bedroom without a mirror to look at, I started crying when they...

3134 days agoFH has a former coworker from 7ish years ago -- not a friend or anyone who would be otherwise invited to the wedding. She messaged him this week and asked if we had a wedding planner/DOC. She recently completed coursework to make her a certified...

3138 days agoI'm trying to figure out if FH and I can afford a 7-9 day honeymoon to Paris. Our budget is around $5,000 and it's looks like at least $1,500 will go towards flights. We're not luxury travelers -- we're AirBNBers, explore the city on...

3140 days agoHow did you meet your FS? We met on OKCupid -- we were a 94% match on there which I guess says something decent about their algorithm haha. How'd you guys meet your love??

3140 days agoI am just floored. FH and I were planning on paying for the majority of the wedding ourselves (my mom offered to pay a portion when she helped us make our budget). Since then, my aunt has given us a generous gift to cover wedding expenses. In her...

3141 days agoI'd like to take FH looking at wedding bands at places that will likely be doing Black Friday sales. I've seen some people have gotten their rings on sale on Black Friday. Any suggestions for which jewelers or stores usually run good sales so we can...

3144 days agoAre anyone else's weekends being consumed with football? I'm a die hard TCU fan. Poor FH could care less about football so he's got his Nintendo switch and is playing on the couch while I scream at the TV. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

3145 days agoGot my engagement photos outfit! I'll be pairing the top with some dark jeans and suede ankle boots. Ignore my face and hair -- it's a hot, humid day in Texas, which equals hat and no makeup for me.

3147 days agoIs it pretty standard for dress shops to carry plus size? I just don't want to be given the chubby girl's version of "Pretty Woman" service. (I'm a "street size" 18-20) ETA to not offend

3151 days agoI have all the heart eyes right now. For my engagement gift, my mom got me an appointment with a local brewer. FH and I will get to dream up a signature beer for our wedding which he'll brew! We're total craft beer nerds, so I'm over the moon! Anyone...

3151 days agoWe decided to get married and started wedding planning a few months ago, but last night FH surprised me with an official proposal and ring! He even had our wedding photographer capture the moment! I'm beyond happy. What a catch.

3167 days agoI picked a hell of a weekend to go on a cruise. Anyone know what happens if your Carnival cruise gets cancelled?

3168 days agoFH is a "man cold" kind of man. He's got a tooth that really needs to be taken care of, but has been putting off going to the dentist literally for years. It's bothering him tonight -- bad -- and I completely empathize because I've had my share of...
