How long is the average engagement in your area
AyEmVee in Community Conversations, on September 23, 2016 at 3:25 PM

Just out of curiosity, how long would you say the average engagement is where you live? What would you say is the average age of marriage? I ask because, well, in Utah, most people are engaged for...

NWR: PCOS
AyEmVee in Married Life, on October 5, 2017 at 4:11 PM

I've been married a very blissful 154 days. Right after the honeymoon, DH and I decided we'd like to try and have a baby. I'd been on birth control for 10 years at that point (since I was a teenager),...

It’s been a couple months since our wedding day, but I wanted to wait until i had my pro pics back before I posted a BAM and everything I learned throughout the wedding planning process. I haven’t...

Was I in the wrong?
AyEmVee in Etiquette and Advice, on May 20, 2017 at 7:42 PM

Two weeks married today! Can't believe it. Anyway, as I was catching up with my mom and telling her about my honeymoon, my brother popped by. I asked if he and his girlfriend had fun at the wedding,...

KWR - I get to meet a new FBIL this weekend (at our wedding)
AyEmVee in Community Conversations, on May 2, 2017 at 9:23 PM

I've posted about it before, but just kind of a refresher, my FH grew up in a religion that practices polygamy. His mom had 18 children, his dad's second wife has had 6 so far. Because of the...

Last-Minute DIY Whirlwind
AyEmVee in Do It Yourself, on April 28, 2017 at 10:24 PM

Oh my goodness, one week to go and I'm still finishing up a few small DIYs. Thankfully, after tomorrow I'll be done. My last project of the night was this little wrap for my dad's gift. He has a thing...

RSVPs will be the death of me - vent!
AyEmVee in Etiquette and Advice, on April 19, 2017 at 6:16 PM

Just needed to vent to people who understand the struggle. Invitations went out first week of March with an RSVP deadline of Apr. 6th. Only a third of my guest list RSVPd by that time. Pain in the...

Signature Cocktails - cute names or nah?
AyEmVee in Planning, on April 10, 2017 at 10:23 PM

My venue and bartender are BYOB, so for the sake of simplicity/cost, we're only providing beer, wine and two signature cocktails. The two signature cocktails will be Jack and Coke and then a...

Working on my "homework" this weekend - what are your favorite readings?
AyEmVee in Planning, on March 4, 2017 at 12:02 PM

I finally got the time and motivation to work on the homework our officiant assigned. I've written most of the stuff he asked us to write so he can get more familiar with our relationship (mostly...

PSA: Ikea now has a gift registry
AyEmVee in Community Conversations, on February 14, 2017 at 1:53 PM

Came across this article and got really excited! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ikea-gift-registry-241711 Sounds really easy to set up. Though the gift card stuff is kind of confusing. Is it a sneaky...

KWR - Talaria Flats
AyEmVee in Wedding Attire, on February 2, 2017 at 10:56 PM

So...I've had my eye on Talaria Flats for awhile now. They're cute and seem like an affordable alternative to Tieks. They're still a bit more than I usually spend on flats though, so I've been holding...

Guest List Etiquette - Help!
AyEmVee in Etiquette and Advice, on January 19, 2017 at 6:27 PM

So, I have kind of a unique conundrum that recently presented itself, and I wanted to get the thoughts of the Wedding Wire community. My FH grew up in a polygamous community. Because he left, he's...

DIY Invitations - bring on the constructive criticism! :)
AyEmVee in Do It Yourself, on December 28, 2016 at 5:37 PM

Hey WW, After about a month of trying to find invitations I like, I decided to take the plunge and try my hand at creating my own. I just wanted to get some feedback on my design. The back of the...

Need centerpiece advice/critique
AyEmVee in Do It Yourself, on December 19, 2016 at 4:06 PM

I've decided to completely DIY my centerpieces, purely because FH and I were already making the wooden candle holders (my venue is at the mouth of a canyon, so these were made with fallen aspen trees...

What's the point of a unity ceremony?
AyEmVee in Planning, on November 27, 2016 at 12:47 PM

I'm genuinely curious. FH and I aren't really sentimental, so I can't really imagine doing a unity ceremony or displaying any sort of sand or candle type thing in our house afterward. Maybe we just...

Paging Celia: Justice of the Peace/Judge vs. nonreligious minister ?
AyEmVee in Planning, on November 21, 2016 at 5:32 PM

OK. After reading a few topic discussions, I'm having a hard time figuring out the differences and pros & cons. FH and I aren't religious, so we do not want a religious ceremony whatsoever. Thankfully...

I had the wedding nightmare. And it was weird.
AyEmVee in Community Conversations, on November 18, 2016 at 2:45 PM

Alright, so I finally had my first wedding nightmare and it's definitely a weird one. I dreamt that as FH and I were talking, we suddenly discovered we were cousins. I was so heartbroken, but I wasn't...

Sometimes you just need to know when to say "Eff it"
AyEmVee in Planning, on November 12, 2016 at 12:07 PM

And leave it to the professionals. I don't need a ton of florals and didn't have anything super fancy in mind. So I was trying to go the DIY route and do my own centerpieces (I would have ordered my...
