Once upon a time, in a small-town land, there lived a little girl named Stephanie. She wanted to be a princess so much so, that for career day in grade 1, she dressed up as a princess. As she grew older, she realized the downside of being an actual princess, but didn't give up on that fairy tale ending. While she waited for her Prince Charming, Stephanie went to university where she started playing hockey. She started cheering for the Pittsburgh Penguins, because penguins are so cool! She quietly went about her business, graduating school, moving to Montreal for a year to volunteer, and moving back to pursue a job working with low income children, and a little later at a homeless shelter. Eventually, Stephanie decided to take on a big adventure and move across the country! She quit her jobs, packed up her car, and made the 5-day trek to Edmonton, Alberta. After a year living in the big city, she met her Prince Charming! It wasn't love at first sight, but it was interest at first date! One date was all she needed to know that she had met the man of her dreams. This is not the end of the story. This is only the beginning of her happily ever after!

I am wearing my mom's veil from the 80s, so it has this (now tacky!) lacy headpiece which is what keeps it on your head. So, she is taking that off but now wondering what she should use instead. I had...

I'm not much of a jewelry person so I was wondering if I would be able to get away without wearing a necklace. I was thinking the top is decorative enough, but now I'm thinking my neck might look too...

I'm looking for sparkly flats or low heels. Haven't had much luck in stores so I tried online. Now, I can't decide which ones! So, I figured I'd turn to you all for help. There is a $20 price...
My fiance and I do not live together. We are getting married beginning of July. We are both in a lease until the end of August. Our plan is for me to move in to his place after we are married, and...

Anyone willing to share what they included in their vows? Doesn't have to be anything specific, just a general idea. Are you going funny, sweet, cheesy? Are you going to let anyone read them...
I just have to share my (almost) misfortune last night! Every once in awhile, my hand feels itchy and hot and swells up. Well, this happened last night. And, it was the hand with my engagement ring!...
Do you like to hold on to stuff, for any reason, or do you throw it away/get rid of it once you aren't using it. I am a keeper--if I think I might use it, if someone gave it to me, if I have a memory...
