Now that we’re 4.5 months away from the big day (!!!) it’s finally time to start all the wedding planning things I’ve been just itching to start for the past year! Lol. I've realized suddenly how...

What did your officiant read from?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on January 8, 2019 at 4:24 PM

So my brother is officiating our wedding, and I can't believe this hadn't occurred to me before. What does the officiant read off of, especially if it's a friend or relative who isn't a real...

Sending early invitations to Vips?
Gen in Planning, on January 4, 2019 at 10:21 AM

So my FH’s grandpa was saying that he wants to book his flights to our wedding soon and was asking what hotel he should stay at (we have a room block at our hotel) so I ended up explaining everything...

How to stay present
Gen in Planning, on January 3, 2019 at 11:02 AM

As the wedding gets closer I feel like literally every emotion I’ve had about it just gets amplified. More excited, and more stressed. I’m feeling actually like a downside of being so excited is that...

Fh’s grandma can’t make it
Gen in Family and Relationships, on January 2, 2019 at 10:24 AM

Last night FH’s aunt (grandma’s daughter) reaches out to tell us that his grandma has been having more health issues than she lets on, and she’s definitely is in no shape to travel to our wedding (she...

How to not invite someone...
Gen in Family and Relationships, on December 27, 2018 at 12:23 PM

So about 6 months before I met my FH, one of my closest guy friends at the time (lets call him P) and I *kind of* dated, but didn’t tell anyone about it because it was really casual and we didn’t know...

Not sweating the small stuff
Gen in Planning, on December 26, 2018 at 2:33 PM

Does anyone else feel like they genuinely do not care about a lot of the little details that everyone seems to care about? For me, we’re spending about 75% of our budget on the venue, food, and...

Arguments becoming more amplified?
Gen in Family and Relationships, on December 24, 2018 at 1:27 PM

Did anyone feel, a few months before your wedding, that the things you are arguing about aren’t necessarily worse but just that your reactions to them are stronger? I’ve found that we’re having the...

What to do with a giant dance floor (other than dance)
Gen in Wedding Reception, on December 18, 2018 at 3:18 PM

So my FH and I are still in a daily debate over which room we want to use for our reception, the smaller room with a small dance floor that better suits our wedding style (Sunday lunch, 3 hour...

Gen in Planning, on December 21, 2018 at 12:06 PM

Well, we just passed our 1 year anniversary of being engaged with just over 5 months to go until the wedding! I am starting to get to the point where the things on my checklist that I wrote months ago...

Honeymoon—definitely overthinking everything!
Gen in Honeymoon, on December 19, 2018 at 4:56 PM

So my FH and I booked our honeymoon at a resort in Hilton Head, SC. We live in NJ and are planning on driving down because we both actually enjoy long road trips, and I get so stressed out by planes...

Weekend crafts!
Gen in Do It Yourself, on December 1, 2018 at 6:06 PM

FH and I spent like an hour today cutting, tying, hot-gluing these ribbons around our invitations/details cards! And then we ran out of ribbon so we still have more to do hahaha. But it was so worth...

Does anyone else feel like they’re way off on the generic checklist?
Gen in Planning, on December 17, 2018 at 12:53 PM

I know of course everyone’s various situations are different so different timing of certain things would make sense and the checklist is just a guideline, but does anyone else start to panic at things...

Not bustling dress?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on December 13, 2018 at 12:30 PM

Did you change your email address?
Gen in Married Life, on December 4, 2018 at 12:44 PM

I’ve been thinking about how annoying it would be to have to create a new email address with my married name instead of my maiden name, to have to change the email that’s used on all my accounts, to...
