I am 52 years old, and a mother and grandmother. My daughter is 29, and she has a 3-year old daughter whom I love more than life itself. So, 3 years ago I became a grandma, and despite my worries about being old, it's the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Now, I am with the love of my life and about to get married for the first time!! I am from the SF Bay Area (all my life) and work as a legal secretary for the past 30+ years.

2292 days agoHi all! I'm thinking a lot lately about pre-wedding events. You know, bridal shower, bachelorette party, etc. Growing up, I never knew anyone to have a bachelorette party, and in fact had never heard the term until I was an adult. Even then, in the...

2299 days agoFYI: this is kind of long, but a good story. Just goes to show you that even the most meticulous planning can go haywire sometimes. We did it!! We finally sent our Save the Dates, and although it started out ok, it was kind of a bumpy road! First,...

2397 days agoOk, so I'm really struggling with men's attire. I just don't know which direction to go in with this. FH is buying a new suit (or his parents are buying it for him as a gift). Most likely black, and I will pair it with a purple vest, tie and pocket...

2442 days agoHi all! I'm interested in your wedding theme, if you have one. When I first started planning, I didn't know what, if any, theme I wanted for my wedding. Then I thought, "I don't need a theme...." and kept going along as I was. Then the other day it...

2460 days agoHi all! I've been thinking a lot about budgets lately. It's a really hard topic for me. It's easy enough to say, "we have a $10,000 budget." But staying under that number, while still getting everything you want for your wedding, is not always...

2474 days agoSo I had my hair and makeup trial yesterday. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good. There was a hiccup with my Amazon order, so I didn't have all of the extensions I wanted/needed. But my stylist made it work for the trial. On the actual day,...
