2578 days agoFor those folks who have had the wedding, what decisions did you regret or what would you have changed? I wouldn't have sent STDs and committed us to as large a guest list as we have. I would have just had parents and kids. I know that mistake can't...

2587 days agoLast night I had my first wedding dream. It wasn't a nightmare just a dream of me standing in the parking lot in my dress and veil getting ready to walk in the chapel and be married. I was giving hugs to my family and saying I was sad that all the...

2591 days agoI'm 44 and some how over the years I have developed under arm boob fat. I'm considering ordering a topper to detract from my under arm area. Who wore a topper or bolero? Post pics and tell where you got it. I'm looking at Etsy. Below is my dress. Do...

2602 days agoFor those folks who will be moving in together after marriage what do you see as your biggest adjustment? Mine is bathroom habits. I was married for 18 years to a very prudish man who never spoke of the things that went on in the bathroom. He would...

2610 days agoI addressed all but 7 invites tonight while my daughter was at her counseling session (1 hour) and then doing her homework. I can't believe how quickly that went. Much better than writing Christmas cards for sure. What is the best way to seal the...

2611 days agoSo I need some opinions. My daughter says no. FH says he wants what I want. My hair is in an awkward bob growing out phase. I usually keep it chin length but I'm growing it out for an Updo for the wedding. It is just getting to the length where I can...

2612 days agoI was able to wrangle my wedding ring away from FH's clutches long enough to get it inspected. According to the diamond warranty, it needs to be cleaned and inspected every 4 months. Today is exactly 4 months from when he bought it. I'm secretly test...
