Whenever I try to type my fiancé’s name in Korean, my smartphone tries to auto-correct it to “battery”. It seems iPhones do this as well.

Over the weekend, I had the displeasure of visiting my very first (and absolutely the last) bridal expo.

Came across these pictures I must have taken a couple months ago, judging by the lack of color in my hair.
Before
Why do I look so pissed? I think it's because the back of my hair is always getting flat.
Man, I really do look like I have a bug up my butt about something. Stop frowning! It causes wrinkles!
After
Putting makeup on clearly puts me in a better mood.
