I've been doing extensive research on vendors and venues. We visited ONE venue and it turned out to be perfect, affordable, and had everything we wanted so we booked it. They also include catering,...

I'm not ready to go dress shopping yet. I want to lose some weight first, but it's 9 months until my wedding. I'm also one of those people that will forget what I liked about something and regret or...

So this is a two-part question!! On the day FH proposed, he surprised me with a BBQ with both of our families there. It was a surprise to everyone why we had the BBQ--they didn't know we were engaged...

I'm getting married Jan 7, 2017 and having a hard time picking a place for a honeymoon! Everyone says I need to go some place warm, which is a nice idea, but I'm not opposed to the snow! I'd like to...

FH comes from a VERY large family. He has 7 siblings, over 12 aunts and uncles, and over 30 cousins. He initially decided not to invite any of them, but is slowly deciding he wants some of them there....

FH desperately wants to tell one of his cousins we're engaged but he is afraid to because we're not sure if we have it in the budget to invite more people. He says if he tells him, that's essentially...

I'm struggling hard to stay within budget. We live in an area where services have high cost all around. We've booked the venue and catering, which eats up about 50% of our budget right there. I have...

So I'm getting married in January. Winter is my favorite season, and in the Catholic Church, Christmas season is still going on during my wedding which is part of the reason I chose January. Also, we...

If yes, share your photos! Was it super expensive? Do you regret it or are you happy you did it?

Just wondering. Online advice columns treat I1 diamonds like demons coming to eat your soul, and i just don't believe they can really be that bad... What are your thoughts? If you have one, are you...

So my sister and I have a strained relationship. She is a really narcissistic and immature person, and we've always had issues; she has issues with almost everyone. When getting married became a topic...

Is it a legit site? If you ordered, how was the ring? Trying to find FH's wedding band and this site keeps popping up. We're looking for a pretty basic 14k white gold band, 6mm-7mm width.

I'm so excited!!! We picked out the ring together but he has been tricking me the last few weeks saying he was not done paying it off, he even made fake receipts to keep me off track! I actually was...

Is it necessary to get a wedding planner? My wedding is relatively small (about 60 guests) and the venue offers an onsite day-of coordinator but she only offers limited services. I'm kind of lost with...

So FH and I had originally planned on a wedding of 50 guests. Then he added more guests, and it rose to 60, and now it's up to 70. I'm just stressing out because my dad is paying for the majority of...

FH's parents went through an ugly divorce a few years ago, and they pretty much can't be in the same room with each other. Our venue has round tables that seat 10 people. I wanted to have a...

It's just not within our budget to pay over $3000 for photography. But many have packages that start at $3500+ so I was wondering, do photographers always stick to their set prices, or...

FH and I started dieting this week. I have a lot of weight to lose before I'm at a healthy weight, FH has less to lose than me. We've been doing low carb, low cal, and low fat. Normally I lose weight...

We're inviting about 60 guests to our wedding, but I'm not sure how to send the invitations or save the dates. Many of the attendees live in the same household, so do I just send one invitation to...

I would love to see you beauties in your long sleeve wedding gowns!!
