LC's 1st Year


If the first year of marriage is supposed to be rocky, Lauren Conrad hasn’t noticed. 
“It’s funny, everyone is like, ‘Is it different?’ I feel like I’m disappointing them. The only difference is, there is more of a sense of family. You solidified the fact that you are partners in life.” 
The only other difference has less to do with them and everything to do with other people. 
“The second you get married, people think it’s okay to ask if you’re pregnant!” she says. “It’s kind of a rude question - I would never ask one of my friends if she was pregnant.” To clarify… she is not: “I mean, we’re still very new, and we’re very content.”
The couple plays to each other’s strengths. 
“He’s much more organized than me,” she says. “He knows how to fix everything, which is crazy to me because I can’t even work our remote. I just push all the buttons and hit it. But he’ll organize my computer and be like, “I updated your software.” 
She swoons. 
“I’m like, ‘I have the most romantic husband in the world.I didn’t even ask you to do that!’ It’s nice to be taken care of sometimes - not in a dependent way but just doing nice things for each other without being asked.”

Bridesmaid/Wedding Singer



Weddings are glorious. Fortunately, I've been asked to be the wedding singer AND a bridesmaid at several important ones..  My childhood friend - Check! My two younger sisters - Double check! As I prepare for my first role as Mrs. of Honor (Matron of Honor just sounds horrible) next Spring, I'm reminded of all the duties that come along with it. 


7 Things Every Bridesmaid Wishes She Could Say but Can’t 
  1. “IhatethisdressIhatethisdressIhatethisdressIhatethisdress.”
  2. “Vegas? For a bridal shower? You’ve got to be effing kidding.”
  3. “You #dont #need #a #wedding #hashtag #two #years #in #advance.”
  4. “Just tell me which groomsman is good in bed. I know you know.”
  5. “Sorry, basic question: Why, in 2015, do eight grown women need to match?”
  6. “Something  old, something new, something - uh, no, you can’t borrow that.”
  7. “The only fun part of this was seeing you so ridiculously happy.”
