I think there is something really special about getting tattoos with someone other than the groom - like, it's a way of saying "I'm making this huge commitment, but you are tangentially part of the deal"

I had never heard this particular myth, so I looked it up and OMG I love it so much. My husband works with trees and is a literature nut but was also unfamiliar with it, so I told him the story last night and I totally ended up crying a little and YAY - thanks for sharing your story, internetfriend!

I love how these are the same, but different.

Of all these tattoos, yours are my favorite. There are great ones in this roundup, but I think yours are the best (and I'm not even a "dog person" either). Also, I can't help but notice that you guys have the exact same nail beds!

That's why honeymoons are so awesome - you get to spend time with the only other person in the world who is as interested in rehashing every detail from that day.

My motto in the weeks leading up to my wedding: "IF AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE MARRIED, THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED PERFECTLY." That's it. I repeated that mantra internally and aloud to all the people who seem hellbent* on working the bride into a frenzy.

Bingo.

Eating pizza at the hotel with my new husband was one of the highlights of the day (and our wedding was incredibly fun and perfectly lowkey while still being a blowout bash). We sat there, stuffing our faces, staring at eachother repeating "OH MY GOD, DID THAT JUST ACTUALLY HAPPEN???" unable to stop smiling. It was…

What a nice thing to share.

If he were really rich, he wouldn't be flying Southwest. He'd fly direct, for sure.

TRIES TO CALM SUPPLIER

https://www.airbnb.com/ People rent out their homes via website - it's pretty popular and available pretty much everywhere.

As far as I'm concerned, this sounds like a successful marriage - definitely more functional than many of my "still married but loathe eachother" friends. Good on you, both.

Why do you read this website? Just curious.

Have you considered renting an Air BnB for those last two weeks? You can find some really cheap options when you do 1 week+ (also, if it were my place, I'd totally cut you a deal in your situation). Just a thought. Good luck and congratulations on starting your next chapter in life!! :)

You sound delightful. I bet people love explaining the relevance of things to you.

Good point. I honestly couldn't figure out why we all weren't taking them all the time. This is why. Thanks, internet friend.

For brittle nails: Take pre-natal vitamins. It's a nearly immediate and relatively cheap solution with positive side effects. No kidding. I'll never not take pre-natal vitamins again.

Rad, good thinking. I just shot them a message.

Been looking for an easy way to step up my beauty routine. Just ordered two subscriptions. I haven't been this productive before lunch in weeks.
