Yaaaay happy shopping! (I’m actually going to DB tomorrow... bridesmaids dress shopping. D: Wish me luck!) #ibeliebe Read more

This is all very true. My husband was helpful. He was opinionated on some stuff but I don’t remember us clashing on anything but one point. I had (only half jokingly) suggested an ice cream cake. He said that was dumb for a wedding. Bah. Read more

I see your shrimp hanging from the ceiling and I raise you...
