Business owners no tip? How do we feel about this one
DesertPolarBear in Etiquette and Advice, on June 5, 2017 at 3:01 PM

Saying yes to the veil? Need input
DesertPolarBear in Wedding Attire, on August 4, 2017 at 8:29 AM

Do you think this veil goes well with this dress? I like the longer styles myself, and the shorter ones I tried all competed with the lace on the dress I felt. I would love to hear thoughts!

KWR found my e-ring, I can breathe again!
DesertPolarBear in Etiquette and Advice, on June 29, 2017 at 9:45 PM

So I have a terrible confession - a few weeks ago I lost my e-ring. It was driving me insane because I KNEW it was in my room- it just didn't make sense but I could not find it. I had massive anxiety...

DesertPolarBear in Etiquette and Advice, on June 15, 2017 at 6:25 PM

We are getting married on NYE in our hometown, but the vast majority of guests are OOTers, so I am thinking of treating some elements of the timeline as if it were a DW. 1. All 3 of our hotel blocks...

DesertPolarBear in Etiquette and Advice, on June 9, 2017 at 4:22 PM

FH is from Egypt, and while he isn't religious, many of his family and friends attending will be religious Muslims who have never in their lives touched alcohol. Is it unreasonable to want to not...
