Where did you ladies get your rehearsal dinner outfits from? I would love to see pics! Also, are you sticking with white? I’m looking at a budget of $100-$200.

Hey everyone! I love showing off my ring and I see a lot of posts about it but what about your partners ring? What’s the story behind it? My husbands ring is tungsten with a black diamond in it. When we were in city college we would have breaks in...

For all my girls still checking these forums post-wedding, what was the highlight of your day? Mine was actually our cake cutting! It was a great accumulation of our day and us. We both love cake and "You've Got a Friend in Me" played. I tried to eat...
