Bachelorette Party Outfit featuring pink evening dresses
As a business student the wedding industry makes me feel powerful! Lilac Dude and I are the first in our circle of friends to tie the knot. One of our friends proposed to his girlfriend today and she said yes! It got me thinking about how many newly engaged (or almost engaged) couples have come to us for recommendations.

I had a couple of reasons for not finishing it, but for all of you out there who were awaiting the results, it wasn’t fair of me to leave you hanging. I didn’t write about it again, because it was simply too painful. BUT, the wedding has come and gone, and I really want to share the story with you now, so that it can serve as ‘one bride’s experience’ that might help other ladies in similar situations prepare for what family-conflict really looks like in a wedding.
