RELATIONSHIPS
Last week I went to a girlfriend’s engagement party and when all of the ladies…
Want to know what my favorite part of every wedding is? It’s the vows. It’s…
Being engaged is such a magical time. Everyone is congratulating you and you wake up every morning staring at that shiny metal on your finger. You’re ecstatic, yet stressed about the wedding you are about to have. But just like you have to have the conversation about your guest list (and how your stepdad’s second cousin’s niece cannot come) – you need to discuss sensitive topics with your partner…
It’s literally no secret that dating right now can get pretty miserable. In an era…
