DH and I are looking at switching banks. We're currently with Farmers Credit Union but we aren't happy with having to drive about 30mins to talk with an actual person. Plus they tend to screw up on addresses and name spellings. I've been wth BECU for...

Anyone have one? I'm buying a planner and figured I'd rather give the credit to one of you ladies on here then some random YouTuber who gets hundreds already I'm sure. Also, if you're a planner, what kind of planner so you use? I'm excited to have...

So the days almost finally here!! I just wanted to say a quick hello because it feels like forever since I've chatted with you ladies. And then a goodbye for a bit, so much to do before Saturday. My new job allows no time for anything other then...

FH and I were thiiiiis close to most likely getting scammed. My parents offered to pay for a DJ for the wedding because they know how bummed we were that our budget isn't allowing for it. It's so last minute I thought I was worth a shot to find one....

FH is still without a job But he's filling his time with very substantial things. He does all the grocery shopping and most of the cleaning, runs random wedding errands even if he has no idea what it's for, and he's studying to take a few IT...

We can get in to the house that we're all getting ready in at 10:30am. It is located 10mins from the venue. There is a kitchen so we will make breakfast. I will be doing my own make-up which should take about an hour. I will also be doing light...

So we had to scratch Disneyland as a HM destination due to costs after FH lost his job. I didn't want to go and not experience everything so we're going to hold off for a bit. FH randomly mentioned the idea of going to Houston and vising NASA for our...

Can I yell at her and tell her how tacky that is? Seriously. If wedding professionals are suggesting it I can see why brides might think it's okay, who else are they suppose to listen? It's a travesty. Though sometimes....sometimes I wish I was tacky...

Why did I spend money on RSVP cards, envelopes, labels, and stamps if no one is going to use them?!? How hard is it to drop the pre-labeled pre-stamped envelope in the mailbox? I am having guests text me their RSVPs. So not as fun But at least...

FH and I got in an argument at lunch today. I was being over emotional about something that didn't really call for it. He says the dreaded "are you on your period or something'. Ummm no I'm not, I'm aloud to be emotional! Dammit he was right, how did...

For those of you who have gotten married recently, what songs really got people on the dance floor? I know there are questions about recommended songs but I'd love to hear what actually worked to get people dancing. Or maybe a song you thought...

How do I do this? On my guest list on WW that is...

We're in Seattle and our catering is being done by an amazing seafood restaurant, hence the abundance of seafood options. Passed appetizers during cocktail hour: Dungeness Crab Cakes - ancho chile aïoli Ray’s Smoked Wild Pacific Coho Salmon Bites...

How much money do you think is saved by closing the bar during dinner? We are having a cocktail hour (actually more like a half hour), a plated dinner, and then dancing. If we close the bar down from serving our signature cocktails during dinner will...
