Activity for Mermaid

Where to start? We got married on November 11, 2017 and it was by far my favorite day. It is true what everyone says - it flies by so quickly. We were very fortunate that everything went off without a hitch; the food and cake were delicious, our DOC...

I've seen this coming for awhile, but it's still soul crushing to lose a job...especially when you're the main provider of the family. I'm hoping this will be a blessing in disguise but I can't stop crying. AND EIGHT DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING TOO. Wtf....

I guess I thought choosing alllll the songs for the reception was the DJ's job, but apparently, it isn't. I'm officially 10 days out, and I'm staring at this empty list of 25 "must play" songs while quickly realizing that I have nothing to put on it....

Have you picked your song for your recessional, yet? What is it? FH and I love oldies music and right now we've talked about "Hold On I'm Coming" by Sam and Dave, or "Land of 1,000 Dances" by Wilson Pickett. We're looking for something happy and...

I'm officially at 72 days! I'm completely psyching out! So far, FH and I still need the following things: - Cake Stand - Cake Topper - Guestbook (we're probably going to do a canvas for everyone to sign) - CENTERPIECES. This is a huge stressor for...

I'm a funeral director, and when I conduct a funeral, we bring reserved signs to a church (we already have them set up in our chapel at work) for the chairs in which the family will be sitting. How does it work for a wedding? Should I borrow some of...

Shapewear, Spanx, etc! What are you wearing underneath? I purchased my dress from David's Bridal. They make you wear this corset-type of thing when you try on dresses; it sucks everything in. I looked great in it....from the front, and I considered...

Scored a Groupon today for ballroom dance classes for me and FH! The dance studio I'll be working with has a specific package for weddings, and they help you get down the moves for your first dance! This is a major win for me, as I cannot dance at...

Happy Thursday everyone! FH and I are in route to our hometown for our couple's shower on Saturday. And it just occurred to me that I have no idea what to do when we get gifts. What's the proper etiquette here? Are we supposed to open the gifts up in...

I'm at work so I'm typing this in a hurry, so I apologize in advance for any grammatical mistakes! So, I’ve known this girl since I was 9 years old and we used to be BEST friends, for years. We’ve fallen out of regular contact for the last four...

Inspired by another thread. I'd invite Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam holds such a special place in my heart, and it would be awesome if he could perform for my father/daughter dance, too. I can dream, right? ETA I'd also invite the whole...

Originally, I detested the idea of a wedding party. But I've since come around to that idea, and I kinda like the thought of my three best girlfriends standing next to us wearing pretty dresses as we get married. Except FH hates the idea. I'm begging...
