My older sister, bless her heart, got engaged to her now fiance in November, and has set the wedding date to some time in 2015.

Don't get me wrong, I am super excited for my sister because she's about to embark on this huge journey in her life with her fiance, and it's an exciting time for everyone involved. However, in being an outsider, I can see certain problems.

My sister is 24 and still lives at home. She acknowledges that she can't afford to live on her own (and her

My Love For You (part 3)

As I promised, today I am going to narrate how that summer when I met my girlfriend (now my wife) came to an end and something unexpected happened.

As I said in my previous stories that year I ended my schooling and decided to find a job till I decided what I was going to do. My wish was to become a teacher but to do that I had to go to college which meant a couple of years without money in my pockets. I wished for so many things that several of

Should I ever get married, I want to have a simple wedding. In fact, were it up to me-and if I didn't have the obligation of doing my best to avoid familial disappointment-I'd get married in a pair of dark blue jeans, a Roxy shirt, converse shoes and a short white veil just to add a bridal touch. I'd spend my last hours as a single woman with my best friends, not toasting or dancing, but just talking. I'd order a Subway sandwich on the big day,let my hair air-dry and read a book while on my wa

Meeting your uncle's fienc'e parents should'nt be nerve racking, but none the less it was we were in orlando and they were an hour from us so my uncle drove us there ( we didn't know where we were going.) Well to shorten the storie my uncle was so nervous that he turned so quickly that we couldnt turn and had to go through the light.We got really lost.

When we got there I met my aunts family ( I liked her dad, cousin, and grampma, not so much her brother, mother and aunt.) I didnt

My best friend got married last weekend, in a beautiful hotel over looking the ocean. A live cellist played the theme song from the notebook, and people's eyes filled with tears, but what stole the show was the ring bearers. The grooms nephews are 3-year old identical triplets. The first one came forward with the pillow in his hand, and with one look down the aisle caught a bad case of cold feet and stood frozen. The second triplet, trailed in behind him, and froze as well. The third triplet, w

Two people that found not only love but a best friend and roll dog as well. We met the way every cute couple meets.. Myspace...well maybe not every couple. Neither one of us is the type that hunts for love on the Internet but i guess that are best friends were. One day, my girlfriend told me she really wanted to meet some cute guy she met online. I said do it,being the spontaneous one I am and she said she needed a ride. Bummer I thought,but I have been a good girl lately ( which is totally ou

There have been two weddings I have attended that had extremely memorable moments… I’m about to celebrate my own wedding in just a couple of weeks, so I’m hoping that neither of these two events happen on my own big day… knock on wood. Though, God willing, I’m sure something will go wrong, in the event of which I need merely to smile, nod, and move on with the day… 85% of it will be sunshine and roses anyway, I’m sure!
So the first ‘unique thing’ would have to be when my dad made the groom

I don’t know about anyone else who has ever been married, but I can say that after going through nearly a year of preparations for my July 23rd wedding, many, many things have frightened me. Between gaining winter weight (how will the wedding dress fit?!) and finding shoes for my poor bridesmaids… fears have dominated my mind and have made me question every decision I’ve made thus far.

However, I’m happy to report that the one thing I have never questioned is the most important decis

My fiance and I are really interested in having a photobooth at our wedding. It would print out a copy for us, as well as the people who are getting their pictures taken in the photobooth.

We are trying to operate on a budget - so could the photos people can take from this booth be considered favors?

We definitely don't want to go all out on favors, because honestly, unless it's something edible... it's useless after the day of.

Thoughts/advice?

What is everyone's thoughts on combining the bachelor/bachelorette party? I'm certainly not okay with strippers and overly sexual parties for either of us, so I thought the entire bridal party going bowling, or to a concert, or all out together would be a good time.

Have any of you considered doing this? It's not that I don't trust the groom and his friends, but I don't see why all of us going out for a party would be a bad thing.

What are your bachelor/bachelorette though
