First time bride with an encore wedding fiance. We're both into boating, so we're having a nautical wedding at the yacht club (where we met). He proposed to me while on the way back from a fishing trip, so I was wearing fishing waders and was covered in fish slime when he proposed! (How romantic!)

Happily married 🎉

Husband Likes Oral, but i don’t
Cathy, on December 14, 2019 at 12:59 AM

I just can’t get into it. I’ve tried, but the entire concept of putting his member into my mouth turns me off. All other intimacy is fine, but he and I can’t get past this. help?

Wedding registry
Joe, on November 14, 2019 at 12:09 PM

Cathy, on November 15, 2019 at 2:16 PM
