Time off work before the wedding *advice*
heidi in Etiquette and Advice, on September 11, 2014 at 11:58 AM

My mom asked me if I was taking the week off before the wedding. I told her no, but it got me thinking if I should ask for some time. My boss is super cool, and I don't think she'd mind. Though I...

@#%*& Ceremony Music! (vent)
heidi in Planning, on September 11, 2014 at 11:16 AM

I had thought we'd had our ceremony music figured out. But FH really wants something for the GM to walk down the aisle to, which means I have to figure out something for the BM to walk down to. And I...

Cold feet & wedding stress
heidi in Planning, on September 10, 2014 at 10:58 AM

I never understood the phenomenon of "cold feet." I didn't understand how someone who was so confident in a relationship could suddenly break down weeks or months before the wedding. I've been...

Anyone have hard to find wedding colors?
heidi in Planning, on September 5, 2014 at 2:25 PM

We are using sangria. It's a beautiful color, but I never realized when we picked it how hard it would be to find things that matched. It makes it so hard to buy anything online! Mom and I were...

People don't RSVP or read the invite (rant)
heidi in Planning, on September 8, 2014 at 9:32 AM

Our RSVP deadline has passed and we have about half the people to track down. I've had a few who admitted to losing the card or just kept forgetting to get it in the mail box. Also, I can't tell you...

Things you got for the wedding and then lost
heidi in Planning, on September 8, 2014 at 10:01 AM

We've moved twice since wedding planning began, and I tried to keep everything organized. Everything wedding related went into a box, which then became two boxes, which is now a room in our house....

I'm trying to find a song for seating our parents and grandparents before the ceremony, and I'm drawing a blank. We have an 80s/rock&roll theme going and I'd like to stay within that. Groomsmen &...

We had our first meeting with the DOC and she was talking about the seating of parents and grandparents at the beginning of the ceremony. I'm confused as to how this works. What are our parents and...

Anyone not styling their hair for their wedding?
heidi in Wedding Attire, on August 29, 2014 at 11:18 AM

I'm seriously considering just pinning a flower to my head and going as is. I haven't liked anything I've tried, style wise. Nothing was "me." And then I realized that "me" was how I normally wear my...

Curly haired girls - how are you styling your wedding hair?
heidi in Do It Yourself, on August 15, 2014 at 8:52 AM

I had thought for my hair, I'd get it styled into lose ringlets like I had done for my senior photos in high school. I had really loved my hair that day, and it's a photograph I really like too. My...
