Activity for Meilani

Squeal! It feels really good to know that if all else fails we have a venue for people to be a part of our ceremony and a place to go relax after it's all over. Now, on to saving for the food and everything else in between.

So, we are all busy people with full lives...and we're planning our weddings. This week the emotional weight of this event, combined with anxiety about starting grad school and looking for a part time job, really weighed me down. How do you de-stress...

FH and I are not part of a church nor are we getting married in a church but we feel it's important, so we will be receiving pre-marital counseling through the clinic where I currently receive counseling (different therapist, of course). I'm just...

Living Social is having a deal right now. I know some ladies were wanting to do something more creative than a traditional blank page guestbook. http://www.livingsocial.com/deals/790132-custom-hardbound-photo-book

So I've already decided that I want to do a boudoir shoot and use an album of the pics as a gift to FH on our wedding day. I found an amazing photographer in my area who offers a 2.5 hour shoot, hair/makeup styling, and a little gift book with as...

The last couple of days have been so productive! FH and I got the guest list down to a number that doesn't give me stress headaches. We chose a honeymoon resort and pay the deposit next week! Eeek! I decided on favors. It's going to be little jars...

I just had my first moment of someone inviting themselves to my wedding who totally wouldn't be invited! I've been reading about these moments for five months and my time has finally arrived! I feel like I'm really planning a wedding now. Lol.

...to a boudoir photo shoot! I've read about some ladies here having them done and I've been on the fence for months. I came across a living social deal ($29 if you live in the san francisco area!) and just couldn't pass it up. I think my FH...

I am a total book nerd and always want to hear what other people are reading. So, what's on your bookshelf? If you aren't currently reading anything, what do you have lined up to read? I'm currently reading "How to Be a Woman" by Caitlin Moran. It's...

I ordered my STD's way early because I bought a Vistaprint groupon in January and it expires this week! I paid $26 (rounded up) and got STD cards w/envelopes, stickers with our design that I plan to use on favors, a tote bag, a keychain, and...

I'm stuck between two caterers. Both of them have provided great service so far along the lines of timely communication, providing estimates, answering my thousands of questions, etc. I am planning my wedding in DC from CA and won't be back in DC...

My name is Meilani and I've been engaged less than three weeks! My fiance proposed on New Year's Day at a brunch he planned with all of his closest friends. Apparently he'd been planning it for over six months, even as we had fights about things...
