mil doesn’t want to do a dance
Brandi in Wedding Reception, on January 27, 2020 at 12:05 PM

Hi all! So, my FMIL doesn’t want to do a son-daughter dance at the wedding. She doesn’t like the spotlight. We suggested a 30 second dance but she doesn’t want that either. I’m cool with it. Not mad....

Courthouse then Ceremony
Brandi in Planning, on January 5, 2020 at 6:13 PM

Hi all! Happy New Year! Anyone did a courthouse wedding first and then had a wedding? Like, what was your experience? Did it take the joy or happiness away once you finally had the wedding?

Brandi in Married Life, on October 19, 2019 at 8:01 PM

So, there’s this saying or I’ve been hearing lately that the first year of marriage is the hardest? Anyone want to shed light about that saying? What’s been your experience?

Wedding Insurance?
Brandi in Planning, on October 16, 2019 at 6:07 PM

Hey all! I hope all is well. Our venue didn’t require wedding insurance. However, I do notice that some of the venues did require wedding insurance. What’s your take? Did you get wedding insurance?...

Not too thrilled about Bachelorette Party and Bridal Shower
Brandi in Parties and Events, on October 2, 2019 at 12:38 PM
