I was happily married in early December in Manhattan during NYC's first snowstorm of the season. Church ceremony in a cathedral on the Upper East Side; black-tie reception in a historic club in the Financial District. Slight Jazz Age/1930s motif--husband's great-grandpa worked on the construction of the Empire State Building!

I can't believe my life has come to obsessing over stuff like this, but anyway... Would black pantyhose (not thick tights) look weird with a wedding gown? I was really hoping to wear pantyhose with...

Moveable Feast, the caterer used by some well-known NYC venues including the Prospect Park Boathouse and the Angel Orensanz building, has closed up shop without notice and absconded with deposits,...

I just saw this great article in the NYT about couples quite literally running off their stress the mornings of their weddings (or going on a hike, whatever). What exercise, if anything, are you...
A prized part of my morning ritual is reading daily advice columns while sipping my coffee. Today, Carolyn Hax fields a question from a bride who planned her own bach because she's "not having a...
No, this isn't a thread about the early 90s classic movie starring Kid 'n Play, alas. It's about the sort of JV-squad bridesmaid I've heard is common down in Texas. I'm curious: are any of you out in...
Moral of the story? Regardless of your budget, get everything wedding-related in writing....
As the old adage goes, I got the bridal gown that I didn't expect--though I stuck with my dream designer. This past Saturday I got the Pronovias Dalamo--and at one-third of my dress budget! Here's a...
So the SIL of my FSIL found herself in a dilly of a pickle today: her wedding venue was apparently shuttered today by the state revenue authority for tax fraud, leaving her high and dry some 10 weeks...
Hello all. I'm in between jobs at the moment and looking to make a career change. This being said, it's a common lateral move for people in my previous industry, and much of the skills and contacts...
We often see questions on here and see in real life two MoHs but rarely, if ever, two best men? It's not like guys don't have both brothers and best friends. ETA: General sociological question--not...
Really Important Question here (lol): Is there a brick-and-mortar store in NYC that sells "would you be my MoH/bridesmaid" cards? I've already asked my crew. Since my MoH is coming over for brunch on...
