3192 days agoSo, I'm obsessed with my dress, and I really don't want to part with it, but I just married into the Navy, and the reality is that I also don't want to lug it with me to a new duty station every 3 years. What are the places y'all have had luck with,...

3240 days agoWe did it! Uh, what do I do with my life, now that I don't have a wedding to plan? The Good: * My very favorite moment was when we spoke the vows we wrote. My DH, who claims to not have tear ducts, was boohooing the whole time I was reading. I had...

3247 days agoAlready married people - how bad was your anxiety the day of? It's my wedding day, and I am so nervous I'm almost paralyzed. According to my FH's friends, he is calm and doing homework. Meanwhile, I'm a mess. Tell me stories that will make me feel...

3257 days agoI just wanted to acknowledge that FH's ex wife was just extremely cool to us and kind of saved the wedding. He was so sure that he had all his paperwork for our marriage license that he did not even start gathering it until last night. Well, shocker:...

3260 days agoI'm so hungover I might die. I live in New Orleans all the time (15 years), so we decided not to reinvent the wheel, and just be tourists in our own town for the bachelorette party. We did a two-day affair, with the first night being the New Kids On...

3280 days agoI'm getting married in Baton Rouge, and I live in New Orleans, so I had to get my hair trial and makeup trial on entirely different days. Imagine with me for a moment that we can combine the two into one amazing look. LOL. One note about the hair -...

3287 days agoThis past Saturday, my best friends and family threw me a fantastic bridal shower at my best friend's house. There is a funny story behind some of the decor: One invitation's address was off by one digit, and ended up at a stranger's house. This...

3294 days agoSo I'm 46 days out and starting to feel like a sitcom weepy bride - not Bridezillas, but like . . . Lily in How I Met Your Mother. Verge of tears all the time, trying to be positive, but ready to just be married so I can have both happy and sad...

3309 days agoYesterday, my mom's best friends (of 40 years!) threw me a beautiful bridal tea at the Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans with just me, them, and my bridal party. Originally, they wanted to throw me a shower, but since my BP was already doing that,...

3320 days agoMy friend and I were at the beach not long ago, and we were floating in the ocean and discussing them men in our life as compared to Jane Austen's leading men. (If you've never read Jane, the rest of this post won't make any sense, so apologies) At...

3327 days agoI was having a really rough week - the post office gave me a scare with my invitations and I was having trouble submitting my passport application, among other things. Then THIS arrived! The first of 3 events my special people are throwing for me -...

3345 days agoHappy Mardi Gras weekend from me and FH! Look what we caught from one of my friends in a parade. :-) What are the rest of y'all up to this weekend? Anyone else in my fair city for the greatest free show on Earth?

3370 days agoWeddings are crazy. At the point you get engaged, you have a certain amount of friends you see all the time (if you're me, it's hundreds of people and it's a little ridiculous). So you add them all to the guest list (or as many as you can fit). By...

3374 days agoLiterally. That's how I'm typing this. So, I just concluded one hell of a panic attack. I have been on a restrictive (but healthy, I swear, from a nutritionist I'm seeing) diet for 4 days (I have been perfect on it, even through crying spells), I...

3377 days agoThat moment when your biggest client decides to retire less than 5 months before your wedding and honeymoon and EVERYTHING IS ALREADY BOOKED. The train has left the station with everything involving our wedding. STDs (so guest list is set), deposits,...

3398 days agoThis is a public service announcement. Make sure to follow up with your vendors at least once or twice, even if you don't have that much to say. I sent the girl who is designing my custom invitations a note after NYE to check in and ask about the...
