I have done a lot of researching, okay, chatting with my girlfriends who are also getting married about what should go on your I Do To-Do list, and how far in advance you should start considering each task. And after many greuling hours…damnit…okay just one hour, I have put together my version of an I Do To-Do list for all my fellow bridal...

Jason and I had been together for a year and a half, and although we had discussed marriage earlier, and we both knew that is where the relationship was headed, I had no idea when or where it would take place. I had always imagined my engagement to be a magical moment and an exciting surprise,...
