Originally from Alabama, presently living in Florida as a retiree. My fiancee lives in Georgia and the wedding will be there because of his deep connections and family ties. This is not my first marriage, but my first wedding. I am usually very conscious of my pennies, but, when it comes to this wedding, I have taken out all the stops! However, I did shop around for the best deals on the things I wanted. I have three grown children and am retired! I guess that sums me up pretty close.

Happily married 🎉

Panties? Are they necessary?
Tobemrs.knudson, on April 1, 2018 at 10:09 PM

I'm not sure what the general opinion of this is going to be, but I also don't really care. I'm considering going without panties for a few reasons. 1. Saving time going to the bathroom, because it's...

Boinkin, on March 25, 2018 at 11:10 PM

I know the location of your wedding makes a difference when it comes to the costs of catering; however, I was curious what your costs are and what that includes. It might also be nice for future users...

Postage
herecometheclarks, on March 25, 2018 at 6:14 PM

Did any of you actually need extra postage? If so, what all did you mail? Mine are just standard, card stock weight invites with taco cards the size of business cards. I’m only using one envelope.
