I'm an offbeat 40+ bride! My hubby & I designed an upscale DIY Pirates of the Caribbean inspired wedding in a Napa wine cave (then a 1960s "Rat Pack" reception in Temecula two months later). Amazing. Worth the wait to meet the right match; our wedding was way more creative than I could have ever dreamed. Happy newlyweds.

1509 days agoI'm so sad! I was going to get a print magazine subscription for my soon-to-be SIL. I LOVED flipping through magazines when I was engaged. Martha Stewart only printing 1x/year. I couldn't even find The Knot???? Not interested in digital. It looks...

1593 days agoWe did enjoy a mini-moon but were finally ready to take our European honeymoon... in May 2020. Thanks, Covid. Going to Europe in 2021 will depend on several factors. And since we may move away from the West Coast in the next two years, if there's a...

1612 days agoUgh. Our long-awaited official European honeymoon will have to wait even longer. I've been upset for couples whose venue won't refund their money due to COVID. Now it's my turn. After three filed claims and two calls, Norweigan Airlines won't refund...
