I met my FH in college. Our first date was a scavenger hunt in the MoMA, so we're getting married in a (different) museum and having a scavenger hunt during cocktails.

How are you dealing with having different tastes in music than your partner? I like mostly rock and jazz while my partner likes mostly k-pop and rap. We're having live music, so it's very difficult,...

Invitations
Kelly in Do It Yourself, on August 11, 2023 at 5:58 PM

We made the regrettable decision 18 months ago to make our own invitations with our silhouette (die cutting machine). It was so stressful! I absolutely do not recommend it unless you have to make less...

Guest Request-is it Rude?
Kelly in Etiquette and Advice, on July 1, 2023 at 11:33 AM

I have severe asthma and it can be triggered when people wear heavy perfume or cologne. Would it be rude to request of my guests that if they wear scents that they use them sparingly and don't reapply...

Fitting into your dress
Kelly in Wedding Attire, on July 1, 2023 at 11:50 AM

If you got the same private message I did, or in general are worried about fitting in your dress, this is your reminder to stop worrying. Your dress is supposed to fit you, not the other way around....

How was your ring chosen?
Kelly in Community Conversations, on March 6, 2023 at 5:13 PM

Did you get to pick? Did your partner surprise you? My partner and I had some ring design sessions where we designed rings we liked online on jeweler websites. He used that information when he bought...

Kelly in Wedding Attire, on January 17, 2023 at 10:12 PM

I would like to tell guests that our dress code is black tie. My fiancé doesn't like this idea, but he'll go along with it if I really want to. He doesn't actually have a reason for why he doesn't...

Where to start planning?
Kelly in Planning, on December 30, 2022 at 10:25 PM
