Wedding went wonderfully
Kali, on July 16, 2018 at 2:26 PM

Anyone else getting less excited the closer you get?
Sarah, on July 4, 2018 at 3:59 PM

I didn’t realize I wasn’t excited until a coworker asked me if I was and I said “I’m excited to BE married not to GET married” her response surprised me. We haven’t really LOVED each other’s company...

I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to my wedding band
Sandra, on July 5, 2018 at 7:51 PM

We got tungsten carbide bands and my finger hasn't stopped itching for 2 days. There is no rash so i'm also concerned it could be the sizing. What do I do! We ordered them online through etsy so I...
