We finally got our pro pics back from our 11/8/14 wedding, so here's my official BAM post! We had a wonderful day with friends and family. Quite a few things didn't go as planned, but at the end of the day I married my best friend so none of them...

One of my good friends just told me that she & her husband are skipping our ceremony and only attending the reception because neither of them want to be away from their 4-1/2 month old baby (firstborn) for that long. Her mom will be watching the...

It's almost our time!! It's finally sinking in that in 19 days, FH and I will be getting MARRIED!! For the longest time, it felt like it would never get here. Now I'm just counting down the days!! We only have a few things left to do-- turn the final...

We are getting married in November. I expected to be weather stalking a lot in the 10 days right before the wedding. I didn't expect to be weather stalking in August. The Old Farmer's Almanac just came out with their long term weather predictions,...

FH and I are getting to the point in our planning where we need to make a decision about what kind of alcohol to serve (having an open bar). We are definitely serving beer and liquor. We are beer drinkers, so we have that figured out but beyond beer...

I know you aren't supposed to plan your own shower, but it seems like my mom & MOH (who are technically planning the shower for me) don't know that. When I first got engaged, they both immediately mentioned wanting to plan a shower. Now that my...
