Hi everyone! I posted a few weeks ago about being discouraged by not hearing back from any employers, but 100 applications and 3 interviews later, I finally just got offered my dream position! I'm...

Hey everybody. So FH and I are in the process of finally moving out of my parents' home (long story, but it's been a rough 3 months). As we've been searching for places the last several months, we...

How is planning going? What have you done? What do you have left? I have my venue and officiant, and I'm a graphic designer so I made my own invites, but I still need my dress and I need to pick a...

I hate writing out all this advice and then it disappearing. Stop hiding your posts after you get comments you don't like. I'm sure other people have the same question as you, so just do everyone a...

Hey all! FH and I are trying to bounce around which poems/Bible verses we want read during our ceremony. I have two I kind of like (I'll paste in the comments) but I want to see options and what...

Hi all! FH and I are hoping to purchase our very own house around the end of this year/beginning of next year. Any tips from those who are experienced in this? When should we start seriously looking...

This has come up a lot on these forums lately and I feel like we don't have a decisive answer. Can guests be invited to the reception but not the ceremony? And if so, in what cases? I'm not really...

Where did you buy your short wedding dress? Also, share pics if you can! Bonus question: Did you get a shawl or anything? I want to wear a short dress but the weather in my town for my date was 55...

FH, FMIL, my mom and I are going to tour our top-choice ceremony venue tomorrow morning! Anything we should keep in mind or be sure to ask? TIA!

Hi all! Just wanted your opinions on what time classifies as "not during meal time." If the ceremony is at 1 p.m., with reception to follow, would you expect a meal? What about if the ceremony was at...

How long did you allot after the ceremony for photos? (And if you're married, how long did it actually take to take photos, not counting the time it took (if any) to drive from ceremony to reception?)...

I've been posting a lot lately... sorry! Long story short, we need some sort of official proof of our marriage the day after our wedding for our honeymoon. Obviously we can't get a copy of the...

I'm a little early in asking this (read: a lot early) but I'm just trying to get an idea of what is expected in case I need to accommodate more people. FH and I want to have a super small wedding...

A few weeks ago I posted about feeling discouraged that I wasn't hearing anything back from employers and I really need a job that pays better than the one I have now, but I just got a call from the...

Background--FH and I found a venue we both like and decided to ask for more info. At first, I thought it was in-budget with the PP prices and is mostly all-inclusive (save the DJ and photographer and...

If you've ever had or been to a wedding hosted in a hotel, can you tell me how it went? Was it elegant? Or did it seem cheap? Was it more expensive, cheaper, or the same as a traditional venue? What...

Sorry for two posts in one day! If you saw my earlier post, I'm considering venues, but we're also considering wedding structure completely. We totally have planned nothing, so I'm starting from...

I've applied to 25 (and counting) jobs this week because despite the fact that I love my full time job, it looks great on my resume, it's in the field my degree is in, and the people I work with are...

Hi all! My parents 25th wedding anniversary is this year, and they have never been on vacation together--not a honeymoon and never even a vacation with our family and my siblings; they've literally...

Background: These people (a husband and wife) are best friends with FH's mom, and just good family friends. Always at family cookouts and such. They have two daughters--both that we know, but only one...
