Activity for Amy

Hi all, I wish my first post after marriage was my BAM (waiting on pro pics) but I'm at my wits end in tears trying to figure out name change issues at the DMV. I missed the huge warning on my local DMV site that said I needed to do a name change for...

I'm sitting here sipping my morning coffee before sunrise, impatiently waiting for it to get light out so I can load up my car! As of this exact second I don't feel sick and no giant cold sore so two massive worries are at bay. Shameless popping a...

I never get my nails done, and asked for the sturdiest option for fear of messing them up before my wedding Saturday. I ended up getting dip but can't find a lot of information on how to keep them pristine. Does anyone who gets these done offer tips...

Everytime I check the weather it's a few degrees colder for my wedding on Saturday!!!! It'll be cloudy and the high is 66/67. I'm guessing past peak heat of day we are looking at low 60s with no sun. For a 4:30 PM twenty minute ceremony with...

So here I was feeling like EVERYTHING was done when my photographer emails me to touch base and make sure we have a plan/list so nothing gets missed and I'm like...uh. 😶 I went with an events company where the photographer is assigned the month of...

I just got a call from my officiant that started with "Don't panic but..." He's sick enough that he doesn't think he'll be able to officiate. BUT because I went with an events company he was calling with an experienced replacement all lined up. We've...

I feel the tingle and I'm 6 or so days away! I just started taking Valtrex, Lysine, and have an OTC ointment that's worked for me in the past. I don't see a sore YET but has anyone has success covering one IF it does appear? I'm hopng it won't but...

So, we are in SC in Feb where it can be in the 70s or 50s and jumps between the two ranges weekly. I have no idea if I should be purchasing a shawl for myself (I'd never ever wear a white shawl again so I really don't want to unless it's necessary)...

For context, I've been having the week from hell at work so I know I'm already stressed and miserable. Perspective is seriously appreciated and needed. I'm only TEN days out and feeling work stress bleed into EVERYTHING. Okay, here's the situation: I...

So I realized I wanted to post all the things I wish I could tell myself a year ago. Hopefully others at earlier stages find these lessons useful so I thought I'd share. Feel free to add your own! 1. Be honest with yourself about what parts of your...

So last night I went for my 7:30 fitting. The alterations guy (who I am obsessed with and think is amazing) said he had just left one minor seam to finish because he really felt he wanted to see the dress on me to be 150% sure before he closed it up....

I've spent a lot of time trying to make wedding easier and enjoyable for others. I've worried it wont be memorable because I've kept it simple. I haven't really actually put myself first mentally. So with two weeks remaining I made the decision what...

I am two weeks out as of tomorrow and my list is FINALLY DONE. I mean down to everything packed up to go to venue, tip envelopes made (can be adjusted based on day of service of course), contact info printed out for vendors and VIPS, emergency day of...

Weddingwire just sent an email with real life wedding Regrets. I actually really enjoyed hearing what brides understood only in hindsight. Especially the I wish I had been more selfish/pickier. I think we get SO caught up in etiquette and guests...
