3945 days agoI got married yesterday! Except for a few moments at the reception where DH and I didn't know what we were supposed to do everything went super smoothly, even if not a lot went according to plan. A few days ago we downsized into a chapel on the...

3966 days agoSo April didn't work out. Is any time in July/August good for you all? I think based on the brainstorming last time we were thinking the Tyson's area. Does that still work? Newlyweds are welcome!

3967 days ago(Writing before midnight) Last night FH left for his bachelor party and then it hit me - the wedding festivities are actually starting. Tonight we had a celebration dinner with the bridal party, families and a few honored guests. As I sat and...

3969 days ago.... Online RSVPs. Not the greatest idea for my guests, it turns out. I was trying to save on postage for RSVP cards but I'm thinking now that would have been a worthy investment. I got a really sweet card from FH's uncle saying he won't be able to...

3970 days agoI want to. I really do. But I'm not a natural dancer, and neither is my dad, and neither is FH. I've emailed them and FMIL about the songs for the dances but it doesn't look like anyone is enthusiastic to do it, and we're kind of getting close to the...

3971 days agoHey everyone, I have a new face! Also, has summer taken you all by surprise? Someone at work just asked how my summer's been going, and I had to pause. I just drove out for lunch, and lo, there are youths wandering the streets! Summer no longer means...

3972 days agoOther than the FS, what's your favorite feature/tradition in yours? I'm stoked for the polaroid guest book. FH gave me the camera and I've ordered a ton of film. The project is kind of my baby. I'm also excited for the garter/bouquet toss. We're...

3972 days agoI threw all caution to the wind and invited Jimmy Fallon because I had some extra invitations and I have nothing to lose (plus, liquid courage)! On one hand, I feel like such a fangirling loser for inviting a celebrity to my wedding. But on the...

3976 days agoFH doesn't get weekdays off of military training and then he gets shipped off to NC, so unless he gets released early today or the next two Fridays - of which the chances are slim - we're not going to have time to get our license before the wedding....

3981 days agoNot venting- I got invited to the wedding of FH's friends - actually FH was supposed to be in the wedding but can't because military training on the same day. They're nice people but I don't know them super well, and I'm not close to anyone in that...

3982 days agoWork was super awful stressful on Friday, as it has been for the past month, and I'm already stretched thin with the wedding in a month, moving, and so on. It wouldn't be sooooo terrible except that it's all at the same time. That day I was talking...

3985 days agoWell, looks like the corps would like FH to be at Camp Lejeune on the weekend of our planned rehearsal and dinner a week before the wedding. No biggy. But it also means no bachelor party for him. Have any of you had the rehearsal or dinner without...

4011 days agoIt's t minus whatever WW says and I'm done. If there's one thing I would have done differently from the beginning, it would be to be LESS decisive. FH and I take pride in just pulling the trigger on decisions and moving on, but looking back, I would...

4014 days agoI'm looking for a guest book where guests can stick their photos to the pages and write a note next to it. But so far what I've found has either been too pricey (~$90 at Paper Source) or the kind where you load the photos into sleeves. Where...

4048 days agoThe venue doesn't have a great spot for all the photos to be taken so I want to go offsite before the wedding to get them taken somewhere kind of nice. I was thinking National Cathedral gardens or maybe even the Jefferson Memorial but maybe something...
