We purposely made a small registry (approx 80 items) for our 160 person wedding because we are (politely) trying to hint that we would prefer cash. We really want to buy a house following the wedding,...

I bought my dress from David's Bridal ($700) and then DB quoted me $450(!!) for alterations, which included hem, bustle, adding bra cups and taking the waist in 1 inch. It seemed insane...

David's Bridal quoted me $450 for alterations. That's almost as much as my dress cost, and I'm not even having very much done - bustle, hem and bra cups put in. Can anyone recommend an...

I am having two showers - one thrown by my MOH (sister) and another by my BM (FSIL). I already got them diamond necklaces for their BM gifts, which I will give them at the rehearsal dinner. Do I need...

FH and I have been discussing this lately, and we're undecided on what is the best way to go about this. Does anyone know the "recommended" way to join your finances? FH thinks we should just join our...

We're undecided on who should be in our wedding photos. We have to drive to another location for the photos, and we only have 1.5 hours total. Obviously the wedding party and parents/step-parents will...

Hi ladies, I'm looking for a fake diamond (CZ) engagement ring and wedding band to wear on our upcoming mini-moon and honeymoon. I don't want to risk losing my ring / having it stolen so I'm planning...

Has anyone else done the shoe game, or planning to do it? We are on the fence about it. If so, -Who is creating the questions? -Have any good questions to share? -At what point in the night are you...

And why is that the number for you? We're aiming for three, because we both came from pretty big families and loved having a lot of siblings around. But we'll see how we feel after one apparently it's...

I had to invite my cousin, who I have no relationship with, to my wedding because I am inviting his parents and both of his siblings. This cousin is a crazy alcoholic, cannot hold a job and is...

Copy of a Buzzfeed post….What's the worst thing you've ever witnessed at a wedding? I'm going to think on it and add mine in a bit!

We're in Ontario and our farthest guests are coming from Switzerland. They're FMIL's friends. I've never met them, so I'm shocked that they're coming all this way for the wedding! We also have people...

I am planning to get a bunch of waxing done before the wedding (eye brows, arms, legs etc.) but I'm unsure of when to do it. I'm scared that if I do it on Thursday (for Sat wedding) I may still be...

I'll start...wear a white dress. Crazy how many people will wear one with no shame.

…again. I invited my dad, his girlfriend and her two daughters (both early 20's) plus the one daughters girlfriend. Romantic girlfriend, not just a friend. So I get the RSVP back for all of their...

It's always interesting to see how travel trends change over time. I'm wondering if a lot of popular honeymoon spots in the 70s and 80s aren't as popular any more. My mom and dad went down to the...

Today I'm thankful for my dogs health! She has liver cancer, and she had her monthly ultrasound yesterday and the tumour hasn't grown!!! So many happy tears. When she was diagnosed she was given 2-8...

Tell me all the details! Planning the honeymoon is honestly the best part of wedding planning so far for me. ETA: And tell us why you and FH/FW chose that location!

My cousin and his fiancee just received our invitation yesterday, and he immediately messaged me and asked if their three kids can come also. I didn't specifically say 'No Children' on my invitation,...

We all know that photography, catering and the dress can be crazy expensive…but what are some of the smaller things that you were shocked to find were so expensive? For me it was the table number...
