JN- The lady who did my hair for my e-pics decided to add extensions at the last minute. Since we were short on time, she just took bunches of hair, held them together with hair bands and bobby pinned them into place (near the nape of my neck to hide the pins). It actually looked so natural that my family was wondering why they never noticed my hair was so long (and I had even worn my natural hair down the day before). Even though it was such a temporary fix, it lasted all day, and no one noticed they were fake until I told them! I kept the extensions, and I’m pretty sure I can replicate the look DIY since it’s so easy.

After the most amazing wedding day (10 days ago), now I’m wondering what to do with my wedding stuff. Flowergirl baskets, ringbearer pillow, hurricanes, jugs for punch, etiquette books, Just Married sign, table numbers, vases… Some stuff we can keep for future entertaining, but some stuff is wedding-specific. Should I give it to my friends who are planning weddings? Try to sell it?

milka - i think you should keep the stuff you want, give away things your friends may need(or other to-be brides in the family) and sell the rest!

Hannah - being 6′1… I completely understand. I dated lots of REALLY tall guys (6′5 - 7′1) so heels helped me out… but Mr. Lemon is 6′2. People have blindly told me to wear heels, but they don’t realize how strange it is to walk around being my height on a daily basis… let alone adding 3-4″ to that. I like being comfy with my FI, and if I wear heels I have to bend down to kiss him…and that’s REALLY weird for me. But if you love them heels - find a guy (short or tall) who likes you in them!

i’m 5′10″ and my husband is 5′6″ (maybe less, i dunno!) but it’s really not an issue for us. that said, our wedding pics do look a little “different”.

pam - they’re not “different” — they’re pefectly you!

mrs. bee - but you get to order super cute shoes at all kinds of discounts!!! When I wear those I get honked at!

I have a question:
I have a question, and I’m not sure where to ask it¢¢â€š¬¦.
My BF & I have been invited to his cousin’s wedding. Its on Dec 30th at 3PM and their wedding website says ¢¢â€š¬…”semi-formal¢¢â€š¬?. HELP! What do we wear?! BF’s Mom says he wears a suit¢¢â€š¬¦ but what should I wear?
Also, am I wrong in saying that our everyday winter coats are not ¢¢â€š¬…”dressy¢¢â€š¬? enough? Would a pea coat be good? Also, are boots out? Not the snow or hiking variety, but knee high black leather? Tacky? or not?

Angie–the boots would have to be pretty dressy to work, and I’m not even positive they would then. I think you’d probably be safer w/ some nice closed-toe heels.

I think a pea coat would be just fine, also
