Not wedding related, but I'm so happy I had to tell the world! My brother and his wife have a little girl, but due to complications in my SIL's health during and after that pregnancy, her doctors advised her not to conceive again. This has been hard...

I have an absolutely beautiful wedding dress that I love. I also have a problem. I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I've posted about this before, but it's an autoimmune condition that causes unsightly, bleeding boils on my chest, stomach and upper...

Very exciting day today for my FH! I've mentioned before here that he was adopted as a toddler, but I don't think I mentioned that he's spent some time doing research into his biological family. About four months ago, he found a half-brother via...

I know there are some very creative chefs here and I've got some great recipes off the cooking posts, so I thought I'd try my luck. I have a friend with a duck pond who is going to give me three butchered ducks, ready to cook. One of them is going to...

Not really sure what to do about this. My FH isn't really into lacy garters or leather corsets. He's one of those guys who thinks a woman looks sexiest wearing his old football jersey or a cami and boy shorts, which is generally fine since yay for...

I just got an email from some old friends of mine who've been in a LTR for a while. They've decided to get engaged! As far as I can tell, they are the NINTH couple who initially hooked up at my 23rd birthday to get engaged. And they aren't even the...

Has anyone ever taken a course in how to do this, or do this as a hobby? My florist and I are becoming good friends and she's told me a bit about her training. There is WAY more to building floral masterpieces than I had ever realized in the past,...

Today is my grandmother's 88th birthday. And tomorrow is her 70th wedding anniversary. I just find that absolutely amazing in so many ways. She doesn't remember everything as sharply as she used to, but she can tell you in breathtaking detail about...

Thank every deity there is! A really nice young couple who are expecting a baby have made us a good offer, and we've accepted. We were expecting our little one when we bought this place, and it's a great starter home for a young family. We've told...

That your FH/FW might be the one? My FH is in the backyard play-wrestling the dog, despite it being late and freezing because he feels like he hasn't had any quality "Spotty Time" lately. And it got me remembering a time when we had been together a...

I suffer from hidradenitis suppurativa. It's an autoimmune linked condition that causes painful scarring boils to form on my torso and upper arms/legs. For the last eight years, I've had this well under control with a carefully calibrated and...

We had been planning on keeping our son wth us for our honeymoon trip, since all our parents work full time and we had no one who could care for him. But my FMIL just told us that she's planning on taking 10 days off after the wedding, and would love...

My FILs are gorgeous people who have volunteered to host a welcome dinner for all our guests the night before the wedding, since it's a destination wedding for everyone. They sent me a sample menu and asked for suggestions - does anyone see anything...

I've just started looking for a hair stylist/MUA, and I had an idea that I'd love some feedback on. I'm not having any honor attendants, since we're having a super-small wedding and we'd end up with 1/3 of the guest list standing there next to us. So...

He looked directly up at me and said "ma-ma"!!!!! This is a thing that happened!!!!! He's been babbling for a while, and I've thought a couple of times that he was coming close. But that was definitely and distinctly ma-ma. He communicated in words!...

We're going to both be changing our names to Joss-Reid (mylast-hislast) after the wedding, which presents its own set of hashtagging challenges. We both really love #HotForHyphens, but I think we're the only ones that will find that hilarious. One...
