Engagement ring bigger than wedding band
Gen in Wedding Attire, on September 6, 2018 at 9:21 AM

So my engagement ring is a weird size right now, kind of between 5.25 and 5.5. I have thin fingers and large knuckles, so it slides around and spins a lot, but doesn’t go over my knuckle unless I...

Gen in Fitness and Health, on February 8, 2019 at 1:28 PM

So, I get absolutely horrible menstrual cramps that often have me bedridden. Honestly my worst wedding day fear is that I’m going to be in so much pain that I won’t be able to enjoy it. I recently...

First dance when i hate being the center of attention
Gen in Wedding Reception, on July 12, 2018 at 4:15 PM

I really love the idea of the first dance in theory, and my FH is VERY excited about it, so it’s definitely not something we can just cut out. The only issue is I honestly get so anxious and awkward...

Gen in Do It Yourself, on April 2, 2019 at 11:05 AM

I already have a Polaroid camera and I feel like it would be really cool to have people take pictures and put them in our guest book. But I’m concerned that either no one will do it, or that people...
