Did anyone NOT go on a honeymoon? Did you regret not going?
Debra in Honeymoon, on September 25, 2015 at 12:01 PM

FH and I have agreed all along that we wouldn't be able to take time off to go on a honeymoon immediately following our wedding. We both work FT and he is also a FT student so there is a limit to the...

Debra in Planning, on May 18, 2016 at 1:08 PM

FH had a significant amount of cash on him when he went to work on Monday because he planned to pick up my wedding gift after work. At some point in his day he dropped his wallet at work. Security...

When your FMIL is the tacky bride-to-be *** UPDATE page 3
Debra in Etiquette and Advice, on April 17, 2016 at 1:33 PM

So, I have posted a rant before when my FMIL announced a few months ago that she is also getting married. She picked her date to be 2 weeks after our wedding, and said she understands if FH and I...

SPINOFF - When people don't act right!
Debra in Etiquette and Advice, on May 6, 2016 at 1:41 PM

Debra in Planning, on April 15, 2016 at 11:01 AM

I have tried really politely to let her know I have wedding plans under control, and her ideas just aren't fitting into our plans. She seems to take it well, but the bad suggestions/etiquette just...

Bridal shower dress - does it need to be white?
Debra in Wedding Attire, on April 5, 2016 at 3:07 PM

I have seen lots of brides wearing white dresses for their bridal showers. I am not a fan of white - what is your opinion of this dress for a bridal shower?
