I love getting pedicures, but never get my nails done because I am a nurse. Fake nails are definitely not allowed due to infection control and if we get a teeny chip in any nail polish, it has to come...
If this is a repeat, I apologize. WW hiccupped when I tried to post it the first time and I don't think it went through. I'm doing DIY flowers from either Sams/Costco or Fifty flowers. I'm not a...
I originally was sold on having my hair up and possibly in dutch braid crown. My fh loves my ringlets when my hair is down, but ultimately doesn't care how I want to look on my wedding day because he...
I want a brunch wedding, but we can't get into the venue until 10am. I'm trying to keep things pretty basic, but am wondering how late I can make my brunch wedding? We were originally thinking 11:45...
I am absolutely in love with these carved little birds for my cake topper. I love that I can keep them on my dresser or window sill and enjoy them every day and then put them on my anniversary cake...
My FH is a nature enthusiast. He works for the Dept of Natural Resources and loves being outside. He avoids going into heavily populated areas for long periods of time. For example, I probably could...
My venue is two levels. The main level is where the ceremony will be held and is an open room with two fireplaces and 10 rocking chairs. There are also 2 couches that sit 3-4 and another 4 chairs....
There have been some things I have been really struggling with. 1) Do I include my college friends (I am 50) when my venue is quite small and several of them are obviously hiding me from their...
Do you ever feel like the hours you put into researching and deciding on teeny details are all for nothing? I keep trying to remember the weddings I have attended and to be honest, I remember so very...
I don't have tan lines yet thanks to the season. However, I will be marrying in October in SC in an off the shoulder dress. What did you all do regarding tan lines? Did you just slather on sunscreen...
My fMIL has asked several times what we want them to plan on the day before the wedding. I'm just completely torn. We aren't having a rehearsal because there are just 2 people in our WP. We are...
I've been to almost exclusively adult only weddings except for a few and for the ones that did allow kids I was under 18. Why are kids great to invite to a wedding? Why would you say absolutely not....
My FH and I are 47 and 50. I'm a minimalist and don't want a ton of presents that are not practical and useful. We will be living in a small cabin on the farm until we build a house in a yr or two....
My FH and I discussed just having his son and his only sibling's children attend the wedding and reception. 1) My FH's prior wife was the sister of his best friend, so his friend's children are...
My sweetheart loves his bacon. Has anyone done a bacon bar and what did you / are you having?
Happy Valentine's Day! Any fun celebrations today? I will be spending it with my FH and future stepson. When I pick up the kiddo from school we will stop by his mom's work to drop off candy and...
I'm just so very excited at this point to have my website mostly done. Now I can order my STDs and get them in the mail by March. Are they any special pages you added to your website? I have pages for...
So, my coworker is insisting on baking my cake. She is a trained pastry chef but now works in healthcare. The things she has brought to work are super tasty. I don't want anything fancy. Just two...
I'm not a big makeup wearer. I do lipstick and occasionally mascara. When I do go out for an evening I add foundation and blush but never eye makeup. I'm not against it, I just suck at putting it on...
I suck at this. I've been a people pleaser most of my life, although it has gotten much better after age 40. Each day I agonize over the guest list. Does anyone else do this? My venue will only hold...
