Our Wedding was awesome (with a few hiccups)😊
Makeba, on September 28, 2022 at 6:40 AM

We got married on 9/25/22. We left our flowers at the house, went back and got them. I walked down the isle and still forgot my bouquet 😂. I wasn’t very nervous, but it was interesting being under...

Changing Last Name?
Imani, on August 11, 2022 at 8:37 AM

So we’ve been married a little over a week and I am back and forth with this name change. I went into this wanting to hyphenate my last name instead of changing it completely. I like my last name....

Would You Get Married Barefaced?
MrsTanner, on September 14, 2022 at 10:00 AM

I'm talking walking down the isle with the face you woke up with, lacking even the barest touch of makeup! How would you feel? Could you do this if it was the only option?

Final week!

I gotta say. I never expected the most anxiety inducing thing before the wedding would be making sure my house is clean, the laundry is done, and bags are packed for the honeymoon. What’s everyone...

Our Wedding Photos Are In!
Imani, on August 12, 2022 at 11:02 AM

Wow! I did not expect to receive our wedding photos so soon. I’ve seen so many post about getting photos late, which is why I was so shocked to receive ours this early. We haven’t been married two...
