Biggest way to save: limiting our guest list! We chose a venue that had 2 rooms: 1 room could hold 400 and the other held 130. The 400 person room was $1500 more, plus all the extras you need for more people. We went with the smaller room. Having a smaller guest count meant we needed fewer invitations, rentals,…

This gets my vote! I discovered it in the Sephora mascara kit and I've been hooked ever since. It's the only mascara I use.

I had a small one - I wore a strapless dress and the back dipped down lower than I or my seamstress realized. Day of my wedding my dress kept falling down in the back, exposing my strapless bra strap. It was never obscene or anything, but it was ANNOYING to deal with it all night. We tried double stick tape but…

I asked my FB friends to weigh in on the subject of Honeyfunds and I was amazed at the strong opinions that people had on it. Folks acted like I had slapped their mama, they were so completely offended by the idea. In the end we decided not to go with one, but I really like the idea of giving someone experiences over…

I was a hipster bride - I wore my glasses

Just got married and I'm happy that all the craziness is over! It's nice to not have a ton of decisions to make or things to follow up on. I've heard of the post-wedding depression, and I loves a project, so now that I'm married I'm focusing on finally taking the PMP exam. I figure that will keep me busy for a while.

Dammit I think I have a meeting at that time! Who will answer all my burning Sephora questions???

A Reuben with turkey is called a Rachel - it aint the same thing as a real Reuben.

• We ended up right at $20k

Freshman year of college I started dating a 1L law student, which I thought was great (I was still in my "dating older guys is cool" phase). We were off and on throughout my sophmore year, but completely on the 2nd semester of my sophmore year. One day about a week before finals, I got a call from a friend who said…

I disagree - every wedding-related post I've seen on Gawker & Jezebel have always dissolved into a pissing match on who had the cheapest wedding. And I've seen lots of "how could you spend that much on 1 day?!?!?!? You're a horrible person" comments over the years, directed towards people who didn't go the cheap…

I'd gladly participate, you should do it!

Ugh, now we're about to get 2000 comments full of people trying to one-up each other on how cheap their wedding was. We get it, you had a huge wedding for 300 people on $12, that does not make the rest of us who spent more than that on our weddings bad people.

Nice! I feel like I saw that on a Instagram nail art account and I wanted to try it myself.

I'm getting married this weekend and we totally outlawed the garter thing. Yuck.

Getting married in 11 days. Had 10 people just flat out not respond. Since 90% of our guests are out of town, we put them down as "no" and kept it moving. Considering that we filled in everything except the "are you coming or nah" and put the fucking self-addressed stamped envelope in the fucking mail & they couldn't…

My wedding is in 18 days - I figure if we both show up, the officiant shows up & the venue doesn't burn down, we're good.

Chastity, I read your blog religiously and I just want to say thank you :-) I'm a good 20/22 in the hips/thighs/booty and a 16 on top. I never knew that I could wear certain things until your blog. I used to be very self-concious about my hips, and showing my hourglass figure cause it's bigger than I want it to be.…

IDK if this is weird or funny, but it's a good story. I'm the oldest of 4 kids, and my brothers and I would spend a couple hours after school alone before my parents got home from work (we were latchkey kids). Even as a little kid I was a science nerd, and I wondered what would happen if we mixed together all the…
