Are you giving your parents and/or your future in-laws anything for your wedding/on your wedding day? If so, what are you gifting? If not, are you doing something else/taking them to dinner/etc.?...

Hey everyone, long time no see! I was pretty active on here for several months until I moved in October and just never returned. Not sure how I feel about the new setup! Anyway, I'm back in hopes of...

Let’s start with the backstory. FH’s cousin (who I’ll call A) starting dating her former FW (who I’ll call B) just a few weeks before FH and I started dating (so a little more than 3 years ago). B was...

Do you decorate your house for Halloween? Thanksgiving? Christmas? Any other holiday you may celebrate? If so, do you do exterior and/or interior? Are you more subtle, or do you go all-out? DIY or...

Usually when I get an STD, I assume the wedding will be in the evening and sometimes schedule other things to do earlier in the day, especially if we won't have to travel for it. But our wedding is...

It's October (!) which means there's less than 2 weeks until FH and move into our new house! I'm so excited to finally get us into our own space. (I was going to attach a photo but I realized someone...

Did anyone choose not to write their own vows and/or get married in a justice of the peace ceremony that was super generic? Ours is JOP ceremony basically, but we're adding a quick reading that may or...

My and FH's application for our first rental home got accepted! I'm freaking out, so excited. We got a 2000 sqft townhouse that we absolutely fell in love with as soon as we saw it. We're signing the...

I think I know the answer, but I'm asking anyway because I can't get this dilemma out of my head. Perhaps I'm providing way too much back story, but oh well. FH comes from a very (very) large family...

We got our honeymoon! Yay! 7 day cruise to the Bahamas/Turks & Caicos. We totally can't wait! Question: should we get the travel insurance? Pros/cons? Also, how early do we need to get passports...

Hi all! So we're looking at cruises for our honeymoon and right now are comparing Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Any experience or words of wisdom on which one is better? (For honeymoons, if that...

Hey all! Looking for a variety of answers about your savings plans (as much as you're willing to share, obviously). FH's parents are the type that spend every cent they get, and my parents are the...

Many of you know I'm planning a small, immediate family-only wedding - but of course, that doesn't mean we're immune to etiquette rules. My FH's only full sister recently got a boyfriend. She's a...

Long story short: my band teacher from high school was very close to my parents and I, and he retired when I was a sophomore. We still all went out to dinner and stuff for a few years and as budding...

Hey all! Quick background for those who don't know me: my wedding is a bit untraditional (and no, not in the rude way) in that we have 22 guests plus us, we are marrying at a venue that typically does...

Hi everyone. Not sure how to put this so it doesn't sound complicated, but long story short, I just got a new job (started Monday) that I thought I would love but so far I've kind of hated it. The...

After months of searching, over 100 applications, and 2 weeks of bittersweet goodbyes at my old job, I finally start my new job tomorrow morning! It's totally my dream job, more than doubles my...
