WRONG. This definitely applies to some couples I’m sure, but others (like me) are grateful that my family want to come from halfway around the world to watch me get married. It’s both for them, my fiance’s family, and for both of us, that we are having a party to celebrate it. Just because you don’t want to get…

Why would you wear that shirt during a broadcast like that? He looks like my grandad used to when he went on vacation.

“whatever the cause it shouldn’t be expected to be an equal split if you don’t have equal discretionary income.”

Think of it as a party is such good advice. I read a book early on in my engagement that discussed looking for venues. It basically said, find one you like and go with it. Don’t go see 10 million to find the perfect one. You’re just throwing a party in this place, not buying it for the rest of your life. That ‘it’s a…

Your guests will NOT be disappointed if they see you having the wedding of your dreams, despite what The Knot and Wedding Wire etc. want you to believe. If you haven’t, you should buy A Practical Wedding, it’s a book by Meg Keene. It’s pretty cheap on amazon I think and literally was a breath of fresh air to me when I…

Girl, same. My fiance has shares in family restaurants, and is so smart and talented that he has multiple streams of income. He’s been saving for his hypothetical wedding for a long time. I... have not. When we moved in together, I was working for free and he was working three jobs. I felt anxious at first about…

Yeahhhh I love I Thee Dread so much but comments like the ones you’re describing really ruin it for me. My fiance and I grew up separated by the Atlantic so any wedding of ours involves family coming from all over. If they’re gonna fly halfway across the world to see us get married, damn straight I’m putting on a big…

Lauren, your articles are literally my life - down to our same wedding date.

Agreed. I’m 26, my sister is 16 and our brother is 12. I’m jealous that they’re close in age. I try really hard to be close to them but it’s difficult at times, especially with my brother, because we haven’t got much in common.

No shame. Rick Perry is HOT. A dumbass, but hot.

Yeah also they had been supposed to meet that prison employee who was gonna drive them away. Their Plan B mustn't have been that solid.

It was so frustrating but, just like all their other arguments, paper thin.

UGH. During the Irish campaign for same-sex marriage, the No Campaign made a huge deal of their “GAY MAN WHO IS VOTING NO.” They would periodically tweet about him and post videos of him as if his one, individual, crazy opinion was worth more than the 2/3 of the country who disagreed with him.

I’m sorry. Feel free to substitute it with practically anything and it still makes no sense. People have been getting paid for the huge amount of work that goes into producing and entertaining through music since god only knows when. But you do you k?

Yeah man. I’m fucking sick of trash collectors thinking they deserve to get paid for keeping our streets clean. If you want to be an eco-warrior, do it pro bono and don’t expect shit from people. *literally you can apply your stupid statement to any job a person performs and it still won’t make any fucking sense.

I was right it’s GORGEOUS

Ugh I hope you get snapped out of the greys because from my blurry perspective this looks beautiful!

This is good to know! I haven’t gone to a dress fitting yet but I’m going to try on something similar to see. I am also not searching for “perfect.” No energy for that!

Also on the Pinterest train... I saw a dream dress on there that apparently came from an etsy shop. I loved it, did some digging and found nope it’s actually Reem Acra for an untold sum. Fuck you Pinterest.

I have my appt at BHLDN on Wednesday! Hoping to find something nice. I love their Annabelle dress.
