Receiving Line Etiquette

We just want to take time out of our holiday break to say Happy New Year to all of our fabulous brides-to-be, newlyweds and "old married ladies". As we look back, this has truly been a momentous year. But of course we are already lining up more great things for our readers in 2011. We heart you more than words can say. Let us all make this year a great one!

Christmas & Engagements

As our regular readers have probably noticed, we are now on our holiday posting schedule. That means there will be slightly fewer posts until after New Year's Day, but that does not mean that we aren't still cranking out juicy content. Wedding experts tell us that Christmas marks a prime time for couples to become officially engaged. What about you? Are you expecting to become a bride-to-be on Christmas Day? Or are you a married lady who received your proposal on Christmas? If so, please tell us all about it!

Oh, Happy Day! Part Deux

For today's installment of Wordless Wednesday we give you more pictures from the beautiful wedding of our planner-turned-bride, Brittiny from Amour Toujours Event Design. Enjoy!
