Did you guys hear about Rebar in Brooklyn?
Jill in Planning, on May 11, 2014 at 7:55 AM

This is insane. Major restaurant/bar/ wedding venue just shut down completely out of the blue totally screwing over 35 employees and all the weddings booked through next year. Tons and tons of people...

I could use some support.
Jill in Planning, on June 4, 2014 at 2:48 PM

I am so stressed out. My hands keep going numb!? Why?! I can't eat, sleep, think, or work properly. How do people make it through these last few weeks without losing their minds? This is not fun.

When did you schedule your fittings?
Jill in Wedding Attire, on April 18, 2014 at 2:15 PM

I am having my last 2 fittings 3 and 2 weeks before the wedding. Is that normal? I feel like I'm cutting it close! How far in advance did/do you have your last fitting??

Worst Wedding Story? Tell me yours!
Jill in Wedding Attire, on April 7, 2014 at 4:50 PM

I was once at a Baptist wedding with no alcohol or music. After the ceremony we stood around in a tent drinking apple juice and staring at one another for about 10 minutes. Then everyone went home. It...

I wish I could sort by wedding date.
Jill in Etiquette and Advice, on April 6, 2014 at 8:51 PM

Is there a suggestion box for site enhancements? I'd love to be able to sort by date so all date twins could easily connect and swap tips/stories and advice. Thoughts?

So I just found this on etsy but I can't decide if it's super cute or kind of dumb and kitschy. Thoughts??? https://www.etsy.com/listing/182119009/unique-wedding-guestbook-alternative EDIT - To add...

My first real wedding vendor nightmare.
Jill in Do It Yourself, on April 3, 2014 at 6:29 PM

So I have a "friend" who is actually a printing vendor for my office. He was amazingly sweet and printed my STDs for free (they were really lovely). So when it came time for the invites I asked if we...

My future aunt in law wants a makeup trial for the wedding... Is this weird?
Jill in Wedding Attire, on March 31, 2014 at 4:52 PM

So my FMIL's sister has emailed me and said she wants to get professional makeup day of with the bridal party. Of course I told her no problem and had her added to the "day of" agenda. We will all...

FMIL just bought a white(ish) dress.
Jill in Etiquette and Advice, on March 28, 2014 at 4:50 PM

So my FMIL (who is a sweet woman that I love) just emailed me to say she choose a dress in champagne with putty colored lace. A lot of brides here have said they chose their wedding dresses in the...

How did you insure your ring? How much did it cost?
Jill in Wedding Attire, on March 26, 2014 at 2:20 PM

I just had mine reset and I'm thinking about getting jewelry specific insurance rather than piggybacking it on renters insurance. I'm curios to what you guys chose and how much it costs. Also, what...

I am resetting my e-ring!
Jill in Wedding Attire, on March 24, 2014 at 2:28 PM

So excited! I just dropped off my ring to be reset! I debated this for over a year (our engagement will be 18 months all together) and finally decided to make the change. When FH and I got engaged I...

NWR: Love you guys!
Jill in Community Conversations, on March 20, 2014 at 3:56 PM

You know, I was having such a craptastic day today and I stopped by here just to browse some posts and what do you know, 10 minutes later and I'm smiling and almost laughing out loud. Love that this...

Should I ask my family if anyone wants to make a speech beforehand?
Jill in Etiquette and Advice, on March 19, 2014 at 12:43 PM

So far no one has come forward asking to make a speech (though I'm sure my dad will). Should I send an email to FFIL to see if he also wants to make a speech? Is that rude? Not at all sure what the...

Has anyone Honeymooned at Body Holiday in St. Lucia?
Jill in Honeymoon, on March 17, 2014 at 11:23 AM

Inspired by another post I'm just curious is anyone else has been? I was planning on staying 10 days, but if it isn't that great perhaps we could split between Sandals and this spot? Thoughts?

When getting hair and makeup do you think it's ok to have dad join in?
Jill in Etiquette and Advice, on March 17, 2014 at 4:22 PM

My father wants to join the moms and bridesmaids and me for sandwiches in the hotel suite while we are all getting ready. Since some of us will not necessarily be dressed, and some of us only...

Jill in Etiquette and Advice, on March 15, 2014 at 10:50 AM

So I'm getting these printed together, but not sure if they should also be mailed together. What are you all doing??

Wedding Program language with divorced inlaws - help!
Jill in Etiquette and Advice, on March 13, 2014 at 10:41 AM

My parents are still together, a fact that I feel so lucky for every day. Unfortanately my FH's parents are not - and it's complicated. Even though they've been apart for 20 years my FMIL still kept...

Need veil help!
Jill in Wedding Attire, on March 10, 2014 at 6:07 PM

So I have my dress, but no veil and no budget for one. So two questions here: What is the best kind of/length of veil to wear with this dress? Where should I buy it? Help!

I am in need of serious advice.
Jill in Wedding Attire, on March 3, 2014 at 9:56 AM

So my FH and GM will be in tuxes which we finally picked out this weekend and I love. And my dad chimed in and said he would like to wear a tux as well. Well, my FFIL is divorced from my FMIL and...
