34 yr old Nurse Practitioner born and raised in Tampa Florida. I was recently engaged in Montego Bay Jamaica 8/18/19 . My FH and I have been together now 2 years. We meet on Facebook and chatted over 8 months. Once we finally met in person, we instantly felt the chemistry and started "dating". He is more excited about the wedding and has set the date for my 35th birthday 8/16/2020. I used to want a fairytale wedding but after being single for 7 years I lost that but I do want a nice elegant wedding. My budget is 16K , although I know we may go over this amount( hopefully by only 2K). I am looking forward to a beautiful day marrying the man I vow to be with forever.

Happily married 🎉

Transportation??
Jasmin, on October 11, 2019 at 9:09 AM

What did everyone do (or what are you going to do) for transportation on your wedding day? I'm having an extremely hard time justifying a party bus/limo when we only need it for a few hours. My FH,...

Hey Ladies. I am thinking of making the bouquets for my BM's myself. However, I am not the craftiest person in the world, but I also feel like I can do just about anything. Is it hard? Has any one of...

First dance song, is the meaning "inappropriate"?
Michelle, on October 2, 2019 at 11:13 AM

Is anyone familiar with the song More Than Words by Extreme? Fiance and I love this song, we always belt out singing to it lol, it just really evokes a strong emotion from us. I've always interpreted...

Traditions?

Why is it that those getting married buy gifts for their wedding party, parents, etc? Especially if they're paying for the wedding themselves.

How many carats is your engagement ring?
Kasey, on September 7, 2019 at 8:40 PM

My FH is feeling self conscious I guess because he keeps saying he should have gotten a bigger ring. I love my ring the way it is. Wondering how big everyone else’s is and if ours is really that much...
