No sneak peek plus 2 month wait = now I'm freaking out (irrationally?) about pictures!
AJKNin in Etiquette and Advice, on October 5, 2015 at 1:17 PM

We've been told we should expect our photos on/around the end of October, and our photographer doesn't offer a sneak peek. When we initially booked him, that seemed like a non-issue and a totally fine...

Dry cleaning a wedding dress?
AJKNin in Wedding Attire, on October 5, 2015 at 10:17 AM

I'm married! And I got married in an epic downpour, so I have about 2 inches of muck on the hemline of my wedding dress. I feel stupid asking this, but can I just take it to a regular dry cleaner, or...

Non pro BAM ... monsoon wedding in Saratoga Springs, NY
AJKNin in Etiquette and Advice, on September 18, 2015 at 12:12 PM

So.... we did it! Our photographer doesn't do a sneak peek, so I'll wait on a pro-pic BAM at the end of October. In the meantime, though, I wanted to share some thoughts / observations / lessons while...

AJKNin in Community Conversations, on September 4, 2015 at 11:11 AM

Following @Melissa's lead from yesterday! I'm going to post a couple of photos as a comment after this, so I can delete them in a couple of hours and leave the rest of the thread up. I really went...

Because nothing brings out the family drama like a rehearsal dinner... VENT
AJKNin in Etiquette and Advice, on August 31, 2015 at 10:09 AM

I'm the first to admit I've been pretty lucky. We're paying for everything ourselves, and our parents have pretty much stayed out of everything, except when we've asked for their help or input. Our...

Somebody talk me out of draping for the ceiling of our tent...
AJKNin in Planning, on August 26, 2015 at 1:56 PM

We don't need this right?? I was sure we didn't need it. I was sure for a whole year. Now I'm looking at photos and feel that creeping... "oh but it would be so much prettier" feeling. I think I'm...

UGGGGGHHHHHHH. I was doing so well.
AJKNin in Planning, on August 25, 2015 at 10:04 AM

I've been SO organized with this thing. And then yesterday, first meeting with our DOC, and I realize I made the stupidest mistake ever. Our ceremony is at 5. Our catering contract is for 5 hours,...

Brides who have done (and given) boudoir photos...?
AJKNin in Community Conversations, on August 13, 2015 at 4:36 PM

Question for the women who did them and gave them to your significant others (so, I'm assuming this is mainly for the already married ladies)... What was the reaction? Did they actually like them?...

"Groom's cake" question
AJKNin in Planning, on August 12, 2015 at 12:50 PM

So, we're doing pies, not cake for dessert. We're going to do the "cake cutting" with a normal sized pie, and then our caterer is doing mini pies for everyone with coffee service. As a surprise, I was...

Bar logistics
AJKNin in Planning, on August 5, 2015 at 12:45 PM

OK, bar question... We're renting out a B&B for the wedding, and moving the party through the space. Cocktail hour will be indoors in the house. Dinner will then be outside in the backyard under a...

What to do when people who aren't able to come ask about the registry?
AJKNin in Etiquette and Advice, on July 30, 2015 at 1:35 PM

So, we have a TINY (like, 12 things) semi-secret registry that I set up with reluctance specifically because my fiance feels strongly that some of his family members really want one to refer to. Our...

Very specific reading question - any Zafón fans?
AJKNin in Community Conversations, on July 27, 2015 at 12:48 PM

I'm wondering if any of you have ever heard or come across any wedding readings from Carlos Ruiz Zafón books? I've started going through my copies (and, of course, googling) to see if I can find...

Hi all! I'm a longtime lurker... just getting to the point where I have questions / thoughts / etc I feel like I can't just search on my own, so I think it's time to join in the conversation. I am:...
