Wedding rings from the same place?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on August 10, 2018 at 11:42 AM

We got my engagement ring from Jared, so I kept thinking we’d just go to the same place and get our wedding bands from there too, especially since I have to go in every 6 months to get the ER cleaned...

Traditional vs personal
Gen in Planning, on August 10, 2018 at 1:04 PM

I feel like this is a weird question but I just realized I am doing this and am wondering if anyone else has struggled with finding a balance between having a traditional wedding, and putting your own...

How did you know that they were “the one”?
Gen in Married Life, on August 9, 2018 at 11:21 AM

I feel like sometimes we could all use to be brought back to why we’re going through the madness of wedding planning, and why we are marrying this person in the first place. For me, it’s my FH’s...

Writing our own ceremony... where to begin?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on August 8, 2018 at 2:18 PM

We’re having my brother officiate our ceremony because we would much prefer to have him be a larger part of this special moment, rather than someone we don’t know. We also wanted the ability to...

How to justify spending so much money on one day
Gen in Planning, on August 7, 2018 at 12:07 PM

To clarify, I’ve cut everything that I can possibly cut without it making the day unenjoyable for myself, FH and/or our guests. We both agreed that the #1 thing we wanted to prioritize was making sure...

Matching tuxes?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on August 7, 2018 at 10:32 AM

All of FH’s groomsmen live scattered across the country so we were thinking of picking out a tux at men’s warehouse or somewhere else that has many locations so they could all go to a store near them...

Choreographed reception dance
Gen in Wedding Reception, on August 6, 2018 at 12:26 PM

So my FH and I were talking this weekend and he started saying he wanted us to choreograph a dance to perform at our reception. I’m pretty introverted and am not generally a fan of being the center of...

Fed up with wedding stuff :(
Gen in Planning, on August 5, 2018 at 7:35 PM

Ugh, I’ve definitely been pushed over the edge (once again) to the point where I’m thinking, screw it, weddings are too stressful, too much is going wrong, let’s just elope now and be done with it. To...

Photography, ugh *rant*
Gen in Family and Relationships, on August 5, 2018 at 5:59 PM

So we’re having my friend do photography despite reading the warnings about friendors (which now I suppose I should’ve listened to...) because he’s giving us a really good rate and we like him and...

When should i have my bridesmaids get their dresses?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on August 4, 2018 at 8:00 PM

We're planning to get them from David's Bridal since all my girls live scattered across the country, and I just want to give them a color and let them pick out their own style. I'm planning to go...

If we are listing a room block (with discounted rates) on our website, should we mention what the rates are?
Gen in Planning, on July 27, 2018 at 2:35 PM

Or should we just say to call the hotel for more information? Is it tacky to put $ amounts on the site?

How did you make time to see oot guests during your wedding weekend?
Gen in Parties and Events, on July 26, 2018 at 11:21 AM

We have a huge number of out of town guests (more than 50%) so inviting them all to the rehearsal dinner is not an option. I’m just wondering for others who have similar situations, did you have a...

Gen in Wedding Reception, on July 5, 2018 at 10:07 AM

Which goes out first, wedding invites or bridal shower invites?
Gen in Parties and Events, on July 29, 2018 at 1:56 PM

My wedding is in early June, and my mom just mentioned wanting to throw me a bridal shower. However most of my guests are from out of town so I feel bad about asking people to fly here twice. I want...
