5661 days agoSo I stopped into a bridal shop today, fairly unexpectedly (long story), and in addition to a couple more wedding dresses, I tried on a couple of maid's dresses that would be suitable to marry in. As many of you know, this isn't my first rodeo, and...

5663 days agoHow long are all of your engagements? More specifically, how long did you work (or are your working) on your wedding? Every site and magazine I read gives to-dos for a year, but I'm finding that nobody plans weddings for that long around here. Most...

5668 days agoYesterday, I told FH that I would like to accomplish a few tasks having to do with my recovery before we got married, and I would like him to do the same. I said that once they were done, we'd set a firm date for the wedding. He was on board with...

5669 days agoNot for the wedding, necessarily (in my dreams), but one day. There is nowhere to hide in this one. No Spanx, precious little bra. This is the fashion inspiration for my swim fit bod....

5669 days agoI punch up "short hair" on wedding websites, and apparently that includes anything above the collarbone. Mine is short. Like SHORT. I've even included a pic of my lovely mug to gaze upon while you come up with ideas, because I must know what I should...

5669 days agoTo honor your family and close friends? To be the official witness(es)? To help with the wedding? To look pretty in pictures? What made you choose the maids and men you have, and what made you choose the number of attendants you have?

5671 days agoOkay, so I know I said I found "the one" at David's, but I had already set the appointment at Gateway Bridal (www.latterdaybride.com), so I decided to keep it. I am SO glad I did. What a difference!! The salesperson pulled the dresses I asked for,...

5673 days agoThe dress, that is... I tried this dress on once, and wasn't so enamoured with it, but when I put it on with this jacket, it just clicked. Trouble is, it's a clearance dress, and the jacket has already been discontinued. We're now considering pushing...

5675 days agoI just love the Edwardian proto-flapper look of The Duchess of York, Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, AKA the Queen Mother, at her wedding. Rumor has it, her look inspired Padme Amidala's wedding duds. I'm thinking of going for something similar, but is it too...

5675 days agoWho has gone to David's? What has your experience been? Mine was generally positive, and I think I'll likely end up buying a dress there (biggest reason being that Daddy has an open credit account there from when my stepsis got married, lol). I...
