Mandi, on May 26, 2017 at 10:05 AM

The last year completely flew. I am sitting here with this sad feeling wishing we could go back and do it all over again (without the expense, of course).

Baby shower after wedding.
Meghan, on May 19, 2017 at 3:30 PM

So I moved up the wedding date from October to July because I'm due in January. Would it be greedy of me to have a baby show rhe same year I'm having a wedding?

How do you wear your rings?
Andrea, on May 16, 2017 at 3:43 PM

Since being married, I've worn my wedding band first, then my engagement ring because my mom told me to wear my wedding band closer to my heart. They fit just fine that way, but I've been noticing...

Feeling weird about not being home anymore
FutureMrsWhite, on April 19, 2017 at 2:01 PM

Like most women, I grew up under my parents' roof. However, being raised by strict parents, I'm thinking that it'll be hard for me to adjust to life without them constantly there. I get married in...

Guests who didn't give gifts/cards
Dan, on July 23, 2013 at 3:00 PM

We didn't get gifts/cards from a fair amount of people. A couple were expected, but the others I'd be utterly shocked if it was intentional. These are people we know well (obviously, ha) and know for...
