Any other young brides getting really sick of the “are you sure you don’t want to date around more?”
Gen in Family and Relationships, on July 24, 2018 at 12:46 PM

Like no, I’m lucky I found the person I want to spend my life with when I was so young. Dating sucks why would I want to date more when I’ve been happy with my person for years? My grandparents were...

Overwhelmed by registering
Gen in Planning, on August 19, 2018 at 7:37 PM

So FH and I decided to have a fun, relaxing Sunday night by registering for gifts online. How hard could it be, right? It's like shopping but we don't have to pay for any of it? Lol. Turns out...

Insane ring experience this weekend!
Gen in Community Conversations, on August 27, 2018 at 9:47 AM

So Saturday night FH and I were at a friend’s house by a campfire. I noticed my ring finger was starting to itch a little, but didn’t think much of it. A minute later, I started fidgeting with my...

Gen in Planning, on August 27, 2018 at 10:04 AM

Opposited wedding visions
Gen in Planning, on August 13, 2018 at 12:54 PM

I’m just curious how those of you who have a FS with completely opposite visions of your wedding have handled it. (ie one of you wants a small intimate ceremony and the other one wants a huge party...

Instead of "together with our families"
Gen in Planning, on August 25, 2018 at 3:30 PM

So my FH doesn't have the greatest relationship with his family, it seems too ironic and too weird to us to put "together with our families" at the top of our wedding invite. "Together with our...

Splurging vs cutting costs
Gen in Planning, on August 5, 2018 at 4:52 PM

What’s something you decided to splurge on for your wedding, and are you glad you did it? And where are some places you decided to cut costs? Are you glad you cut those things, or do you wish you had...

Gen in Wedding Reception, on August 22, 2018 at 11:39 AM

Does anyone have any ideas/inspiration for centerpieces for a lunch reception that do not involve flowers? All the non-floral ideas I keep finding end up having candles, but I feel like that’s a bit...

Engraved wedding bands
Gen in Wedding Attire, on August 20, 2018 at 4:22 PM

How many of you engraved your wedding bands? What did it say, where did you get it done, and how much did it cost?

Anxiety!
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on June 6, 2018 at 7:07 PM

Anyone else get like insane amounts of anxiety when making big decisions about the wedding? I've been engaged for 6 months and the wedding is a year from now, so the past 6 months have been fun...

Don’t want to overshadow a casual bride
Gen in Wedding Attire, on August 17, 2018 at 12:41 PM

So I have a friend who is getting married in a couple months. She is having a very non-traditional wedding and is definitely not a typical bride. They are inviting about 25 people and are having their...

Saved by the Dress
Gen in Wedding Attire, on August 17, 2018 at 11:01 AM

Mr and Mrs pronouncement
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on August 14, 2018 at 11:15 PM

I feel like it has always felt a little off to me when a couple is pronounced and introduced with the man’s first name, like “Mr and Mrs John Doe” instead of just “Mr and Mrs Doe.” Like I guess...

Came so close to eloping!
Gen in Planning, on August 12, 2018 at 2:29 PM
