Activity for Eleanor

Hi all, I guess the stereotype is that women tend to get baby fever first . . . but my fiance is so ready to start a family (we are agreed that it isn't time yet, but it can't come too soon for him). Anyone else have a guy who is ready to make...

I'm not here really asking about a specific wedding budget, but more of a philosophy. On the one hand the wedding day is the special day for you and your special someone and it should be one of life's biggest celebrations. On the other hand you're...

Not sure where to post this . . . our wedding Mass will be pretty elaborate and my parish is really beautiful, and I want some great photos during the Mass. I know that people using selfie sticks and even getting out of their pews to get good shots,...

I should know how to do this because I've been to Catholic weddings, but offhand I can't remember when and how. It's at the end of the Mass, right? or near it? One flower, or a whole bouquet?

I was just wondering where everyone is on this. Do you both want children at about the same time (or not at all)? If not, who wants them sooner? I guess it's a cliche that the woman wants them sooner than the guy, but that is reversed in our case--FH...

I'm leaning heavily towards a one-shoulder dress; I have always liked the style and FH absolutely loves it for some reason. I would love to get any insights or ideas from the board! Thanks!

It was a long day yesterday, but the bulk of the moving is done. Just a few odds and ends remaining for this afternoon. As of now, FH and I are officially living together! Woo-hoo!

I'm trying to get in shape. I'm doing a low-carb diet and using a Fitbit to try to take in significantly fewer calories than I burn, but I try to keep my calorie intake above 1500. Usually my intake is between 500 and 1000 calories below what I'm...

OK, I'm super pale (think a goth sort of pale, which works out well since I am a bit gothy on occasion), and tanning is NOT an option. How is this going to work with a white wedding dress? I generally don't like myself in white but I'm too...

Hi all, The big day is this weekend! No, not the big W, that isn’t until December, but FH and I move in together this Friday! I’m a little nervous (though very excited) as I don’t know what to expect, and he’s nervous too as this is a first for both...

Hi all, FH and I will be going to the Caymans for our honeymoon in December/January and need to make reservations soon. But we're torn between Grand Cayman, which has more shopping, nightlife, upscale hotels, and such, or Little cayman, which is more...

By that I mean what the main factors that go into your decision? For instance, do you pick something you think will be comfortable? Something you can dance in or move in easily? Something that you just like? Something that _you_ think flatters you?...

Hi ladies, FH's family has a lot of non-Catholics, and if we have a wedding Mass they obviously wouldn't be able to receive Communion. I don't like the idea of them feeling slighted or left out, but on the other hand having a Mass is sort of...

Hi all, FI and I are getting married in December and we haven't done Pre-Cana yet. I'm nervous and unsure of what to expect. My big worry is that for financial and other reasons, FI and I are moving in together next month . . . is this something that...

Hello, I’m getting married in December, and FH and I are moving in together next month. Up until now we’ve been mostly using condoms even though I’m on the Pill (have been since I was 18). I imagine that once we’re living together sex is going to...
