The Seattle Wedding Show
January 18, 2014
Last weekend I attended the Seattle Wedding Show with my fiancé’s two sisters and mom. It was really fun and slightly overwhelming.

Wedding Savings Plan
September 29, 2013
If the bride and groom are paying for any part of their wedding, they need to set up a wedding savings plan as soon as they are engaged. In our case, we started saving before he proposed! We set up a wedding savings account at the bank a few months before Tyler bought the […]

Each tab is a different category, which allows me to add as much information/ideas as I can. Another tip is to use Google Drive if you have a gmail account. This let me add information from […]
