We’re older than the average couple but madly in love. We were planning a regular ceremony/reception, but when our venue closed down we decided to elope instead. We’re now going to New York to get married in Central Park, with a carriage ride to Tavern On The Green where we’ll have a wedding luncheon. I’m still getting a wedding dress and FH is getting a new suit. My brother and niece, and FH’s best friend, will be there too. We’ll even have a pretty but small wedding cake at the restaurant. It should be lots of fun!

Happily married 🎉

Baker disappeared?
Sandy, on March 3, 2019 at 7:54 PM

I was messaging with a shop in NYC called “Eat Great Cake” but my conversation and her listing have disappeared. She was one of my finalists so I’d like to find it again. Help?

We’re a bit older and neither we nor our friends do the dancing thing, so we’re not having a band or dj at our reception for ~25 people. We’re just setting up a laptop & speakers for some music....

Sandy, on December 26, 2018 at 11:21 PM

OMG, I’m so upset. We’ve had a venue for both ceremony and reception reserved for 3 months now and I found out today that they’ve closed down. No warning, no word, nothing. I’ve started looking again...

To veil or not to veil?

Ok guys, looking for opinions.... I never intended to go the veil route, but as the wedding gets closer, part of me is wondering if I should reconsider? I’m about as far from traditional as you can...

Trouble finding the dress
Leah, on December 7, 2018 at 10:10 PM

Even before starting to look at dresses I feared I’m not the type of person that would ‘know’ or have a sentimental moment when finding ‘the’ dress. At this point I’ve been to 4 stores and tried on...
