(I feel like I always write novels…) A little bit of background: One of FH’s childhood friends got engaged in February. His FW and I have never gotten along. She’s just not a very nice person (she’s...

Hello all! I've been around long enough to have seen a dozen or so of those "Do I put 'Adult Only Reception' on the invites" to know right from wrong. My question is a bit more specific. I am going to...

First off, let me apologize for how long this post is. I already have a crabby-pants bridesmaid and the wedding is still 10 months away! I’ve known this girl for about 6 years now and I knew she could...

I definitely thought I’d be more excited by the time the engagement photos rolled around. I scheduled them about a month ago so we’d be sure to get the date we wanted and still have time for them to...

I have committed myself to the “No Pay, No Say” mentality for this wedding – something FH has agreed with completely. We knew from the start we’d be paying for our own wedding and haven’t counted on...

After three trips to two bridal shops – at which I found 3 dresses I liked at each. I wanted to bring my grandmother back to shop #1 because she hadn’t seen me in those dresses yet and I wanted her...

I was having dinner with a friend the other day and she's the MOH in another friend's wedding sometime in the next few weeks (I've never met the bride, so everything here comes from my friend). She...

Long story, so here’s just a little bit of the pertinent background. FH’s mother has a longtime boyfriend (like 10-11 years) and he has two kids of his own. FH is 27, his sister is 30, and the BF’s...

Last year, FH and I went to a wedding for one of his older sister’s friends from high school. I had never met her and FH was shocked to have received an invite. He was never close to her when she hung...

I had my first wedding nightmare last night; I dreamt that it was our wedding day and I realized I'd forgotten to send out the invitations. Ah! I thought I had a bit more time before these nightmares...

I just got the quote back from my top pick florist and it was double my budget! Gah! She was willing to work with me to bring the cost down, but I cutting it 50% is rather drastic (and I didn't even...

My wedding is a little less than a year away but my mom suggested that we start at least looking at dresses. I thought I'd email a local bridal salon to see if they had any open appointments in the...

The wedding is still far away but FH and I have already talked about wedding favors. Personally, I've never been to a wedding where people actually took home the favors (i.e. they ate them at the...

I thought I had plenty of time before this began! I was getting my nails done with FMIL yesterday and she asked to see FH’s side of the guest list. We have a preliminary one written up just so we had...

I know my wedding is almost a year away still, but I’ve begun asking girls to be in the BP. Two of them are my younger cousins and they happened to be in town for the 4th of July, so I thought I’d ask...

FH and I got engaged less than a month ago and the planning process has been going really quickly. We have the date set; booked the venue, photographer and DJ, and I'm working on a makeup/hair...

I made a cute little box for each of my girls for when I "propose" and ask them to be a bridesmaid in my wedding; I thought I would share them with you I bought heavy cardboard boxes from Michaels...

Hi all! I have been looking into getting a travel rewards card (like Capital One Venture or Chase Sapphire) to help pay for the honeymoon. I feel since I'll already be paying for the wedding, why not...
