4643 days agoTalking to my mother this afternoon makes me want a cigarette! I'm trying to quit, dangit! We were discussing what I thought the day of timeline MIGHT look like, and I have 2 hour set up, 1 hour of ceremony and pre-ceremony, 4 hours of reception time...

4648 days agoFH was on vacation for 8 days, and so I had some time I got to spend with him that we don't usually get, so I apologize if i haven't been as diligent as I would like to be. We had SNAFU for the second site visit at the venue we loved, so the site...

4661 days agoI made a banner! Ok, so maybe not the most difficult or time consuming of projects, and it didn't come out precisely perfect (some of the ribbon holes were not exactly centered) but I made it. It'll probably hang either above the altar area or...

4667 days agoHas anyone gone back to a venue that you both loved, but wanted to make sure that it was the right fit? We went to one such place and I decided I wanted to take a look at one more site (I've only so much endurance for venue shopping, and 90% of the...

4668 days agoAs I've mentioned, both me and FH work for a national "natural" grocery chain. We're likely doing the catering through his store, not including bakery work. We're putting some feelers out to see what our catering costs through them might be. Thing...

4669 days agoWondered who else's FH (or FW) tends to surprise them with little things? Mine knows I've been griping about not having any padded hangers for my dress in the house, so I haven't actually UNPACKED my dress until I could afford to order some. I came...

4671 days agoSo, we're still in the early-early planning stages for our wedding but a few things are preying in my mind. One of them is that FH and I are huge GLBTQ allies -- both did a lot of theater, I've gone to Pride most years since I turned 18, and about...

4671 days agoNew to the forums, but been browsing the site for a little while. My FH and I got engaged on my 30th birthday in May and thus far it's been sort of... well, shocking how easy the wedding planning is coming. My go-to blogs are things like A Practical...
