The Essentials for a Wedding Emergency Kit. Top Story - November 2018.
“Oh no…oh my gosh. MOM!!” Think of weddings like Murphy’s Law – if something can go wrong, it will. Dress buttons pop, hair falls, centerpieces break, bridal party members get lost, and occasionally, someone passes out. Terrifying to think of anything ruining your perfect day, isn’t it? Well worry not, my fair brides (and moms), I’ve got you covered.

Things Your Wedding Planner Won't Tell You
Remember Bridezillas? It was a show that was all about brides who had out of control demands, threw fits, and occasionally would get left at the altar after being totally awful to all their loved ones. That show is a favorite of mine, but mostly because it's one of those "train wreck in slow motion" type deals.

Things that Helped Me, as a Lazy Bride to Be. Top Story - October 2018.
Like most little girls, I dreamed of my wedding day. I planned the little intricacies and pomp with flare while imagining I was a princess wearing white. I became more and more jaded by hate of dating, and my dreams of becoming a bride faded into a dream that I would have after eating a whole pizza while watching Game of Thrones. Yeah, I was that girl—the nerdy girl who ate whole pizzas on Sunday night. Fast forward to now, I have been with the love of my life, Matt, for 5 years this November, and even after losing my engagement ring in Italy (while I was on set working), the wedding is still on, and I have never been more overwhelmed. Not only do I suffer from bouts of depression, but I have really bad anxiety at times.

How to Object at a Wedding
Let's say that your friend is dating someone who is a human garbage can. Their partner is boorish, abusive, smells foul, and also seems to have a penchant for spending all their money. You, and just about everyone else you know, hates this guy's (or girl's) guts.

$80 Wedding
You’re broke and you’re in love. What more can you do? Finding the one you are supposed to live your life with is such a wonderful feeling. Imagine you’re four and you’re at church coloring with your best friend. You only live about eight minutes apart but don’t go to the same school so seeing each other does not happen as you get older. You meet up in high school and develop the biggest crushes on each other but are both to scared to do anything so you don’t date. You move on to college and he moves on to work, until he decides to text you again one day. You spend the weekends together after that day and soon he moves in. It’s absolutely amazing.
