I've seen many posts on parents giving a list of guests they want invited for them. Is this only done when they are paying for the wedding? When FH and I made our first guest list, we didn't consult...

FH and I decided to marry on a cruise and have a reception when we get back. I want it the following weekend, which would be Feb 6. But he wants more time between getting back in case of last minute...

I went dress shopping for the first time yesterday and may have found "The One". It's a bit more than what I wanted to spend. My parents said they would help and FH didn't care that it was more...

FH and I have decided to marry on a cruise with close friends and family. We've told his family, who were supportive even if they weren't sure they could go. But I broke the news to my Mom and Stepdad...

So 2 days ago, FH and I decided to "elope" as he calls it. We are going to go on a cruise to marry and then have a reception when we get back. I'm super excited because the more I got involved in...

FH and I decided (I decided and FH just went with it TBH) to do engagement photos in the spring. I felt like doing them when we got engaged was too early, almost 2 years from the wedding date. Plus I...

This past weekend we went out to breakfast with my father's side of the family.. Every single time I see my grandfather, he makes a baby comment. It started out innocent enough this time. With a...

Some silly questions, but I just don't know where to start! When did you start making your centerpieces? Did you just buy enough stuff to make 1 or 2 to play with beforehand? How did you determine how...

My MOH shared this with me and think you guys can relate! http://www.thegloss.com/2014/05/14/sex-and-dating/funny-wedding-invitation-honest/

My MOH lives in a different state pretty far away. Which really really stinks when it comes to planning. Anyway, I've been dreading the BM dress budget discussion with her. Money is a touchy subject...

Has anyone done/thinking of doing a wedding tree ceremony? We can't do a candle ceremony. And a sand ceremony in the middle of winter seems silly, plus it's not really "us". At a recent wedding, they...

Tuesday I went to my father's to see a bunch of wedding stuff my stepmom got unexpectedly. It was amazing!! She got the most beautiful snowflakes and we finally decided on the shade of blue we want...

Grooms cakes are not done in my family. It just isn't common and I don't know a lot about them. I think I've only gone to one wedding with one and that was recent and in the south where traditions are...

So I was watching Friends and came across the where Ross says Rachel's name instead of Emily's at their wedding. It also reminded me of a Bridezilla's episode that I saw where the officiant kept...

I know we're a long way out (1 yr 6 mths for me!) but was curious... How much planning have you done? I feel like it's so far away, it's too soon to buy stuff. And I'm currently in a 1 bedroom apt...

When I found this site, and The Knot. I was really thrilled, thinking I would be able to search and compare a bunch of different options in my area. But nope. My little county has almost nothing on...

So it's kinda early my time, no one I can talk wedding to is up. But I just had the best idea for wedding favors! FH and I are adamant on having chinese take out at our wedding, not the most typical...

What time are you starting your ceremony? We want a later one for those who have to work. FH was thinking 5:30 or 6. I think this is still a problem for those who can't take off work early. Most of...

Had a dream today that my wedding had a train theme (which makes no sense!). The groomsmen were dressed like conductors and when they walked in, they formed a train and "choo-choo"d their way down the...
