Pics on Facebook
Alisa S. in Etiquette and Advice, on February 25, 2013 at 1:44 PM

I have a lot of friends and family that are bigtime Facebook users. I worried that someone will begin posting pictures of our ceremony (like, while it is actually going on) before we have the chance...

Dress is IN!
Alisa S. in Wedding Attire, on February 21, 2013 at 1:31 PM

Finally! My gown was just delivered to my office! I have been on pins and needles waiting for it, as it was supposed to be delivered by 1/27 at the latest, and I had numerous dealings with a very...

What have you recently learned about FH?
Alisa S. in Community Conversations, on February 19, 2013 at 2:47 PM

No matter how long we have been with someone, we can never know everything. FH and I have been together 2 1/2 years, and the other day I just learned that he had rabbits when he was growing up, as did...

So now we know what NOT to do at a wedding...
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 13, 2013 at 4:09 PM

...but how about an element of a wedding that REALLY impressed you? I know a lot of people have said wedding food is usually forgetable, but I went to a traditional Vietnamese wedding in DC years ago...

Have you noticed...
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 13, 2013 at 11:14 AM

...a change in your FH's behavior as you have gotten closer to the wedding date? We have been engaged since July, and FH drug his feet on anything wedding related. Getting him to find an officiant or...

Responses are coming in!
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 11, 2013 at 11:53 AM

We mailed our invites on 2/2. FH picked up his mail yesterday, and already we had 8 responses, mostly Yes, and no surprises. Things are getting real! Any other April brides getting RSVPs in?

Dodged a bullet!
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 11, 2013 at 11:50 AM

So Friday, I called my venue to see about stopping by to play around with how my centerpieces will look on the tables, see how long my walk/music will take, etc. and learned that my wedding...

Inscriptions in rings?
Alisa S. in Wedding Attire, on February 5, 2013 at 11:22 AM

Have you gotten/will you be getting your rings inscribed with something on the inside? If so, what will it say? I don't just want initials and the date. Was looking for something short & sweet, but...

NWR - Our New House!
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 7, 2013 at 3:28 PM

So, the sellers accepted our offer for their house, which I looked at on Saturday. It is beautiful, and I especially love the kitchen - we both love to cook. It also has a nice pool. FI didn't get to...

60 Days!
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 5, 2013 at 11:41 AM

I can't believe our wedding is only two months away. We are going to pick out his ring tomorrow night. Our Valentine's Day celebration will be to get the marriage license. Biggest thing we are working...

Removing vocal track from a recording of a song
Alisa S. in Planning, on February 1, 2013 at 3:01 PM

I want to use a particular (kind of obscure) song for my MOH's entrance, but I want it as an instrumental version. I have scoured every music site looking for an instrumental version, perhaps by...

Alisa S. in Planning, on January 31, 2013 at 2:32 PM

Anyone else had this happen? In preparation for my invites being mailed this weekend, I turned on the RSVP feature yesterday so it displays on my wedding web site...and someone has already responded!...

NWR - Got a contract on my house!
Alisa S. in Planning, on January 28, 2013 at 12:21 PM

So Saturday I signed the paperwork accepting a cash offer on my house at 95% of the (admitedly optimistic) original list price. Since it looks like things will actually move forward this time, we...

Eyelash extensions?
Alisa S. in Wedding Attire, on January 24, 2013 at 2:49 PM

I'm not big on makeup...have only ever accentuated my eyes. I know I need to exaggerate them even more for pics, especially now that I am older. I got a set of fake eyelashes and have practiced with...

Entrance/escort for FH's daughter
Alisa S. in Etiquette and Advice, on January 24, 2013 at 2:46 PM

My FH has a 23-yr. old daughter who will be doing a reading during the ceremony. She is not in the bridal party, and thus not a part of the processional. I am planning on having the BM (only usher)...

Centerpiece - what do you think?
Alisa S. in Style and Décor, on January 22, 2013 at 12:26 PM

I spent part of my day off yesterday making up our centerpieces. 5 done out of 10 so far. The bottles will be placed on an octagonal mirror, with a magenta taper candle on either side, and surrounded...

Looking for a cake stand
Alisa S. in Style and Décor, on November 29, 2012 at 7:03 PM

I am having a relatively small cake - square, 2-tier, with the bottom tier being 10". I am looking for a blingy/fun pedestal cake stand, reasonably priced, that will raise the cake up so I can...
