So I've been binging four weddings all day and it got me thinking. I've noticed at most wedding the officiant says "stand up for the bride" and everyone stands as the bride walks down the aisle. I...

Something I hadn't thought of until now! Especially because we're leaving on our honeymoon right after the wedding, so it's not even like I can throw the bouquet in a vase with some water and just...

I know a lot of people do big exits at the end of the reception with sparklers or whatever. Has anyone not done a grand exit? I kind of just want to leave...my mom even suggested changing out of my...

We're getting down to the wire! And my darling FH has left writing thank you notes to his groomsmen and parents until the last minute. Some background: FH is not close with his parents and their...

I PROMISE this is not a "why isn't my bridal party stuffing envelopes and throwing me parties and making my centerpieces" post. I fully understand that the wedding party's only "duties" are to show up...

(Sorry if this has been asked already, can't search on mobile) We're a little less than a month out and we just received a check in the mail from my FH's great aunt who will not be attending the...

Our invitations went out a month ago. Our "rsvp by" date isn't for another two weeks, but I'm getting nervous because less than half of the guests have responded. I know they have a bit more time but...

Possibly relevant background: we are the first of our friends to get married. We each have a couple of friends in the bridal party and no one has much experience with weddings. Also, we live in Mass,...

Do we really need menus at the reception? We're doing a plated dinner. The guests are choosing their entrees when they RSVP and we put detailed descriptions of the meals on our website. I definitely...

Anyone else (in between bouts of anxiety and frustration) feel a twinge of joy at the the knowledge that this is the last time they are filing their taxes as "single"?

I asked about exits a few days ago, now I have entrance questions! I know typically the newlyweds make a grand entrance to the reception (e.g. DJ announces them, everyone claps, etc). When I mentioned...

What did you/are you planning to do the day after the wedding? My FH and I are getting married Saturday and leaving for our honeymoon Tuesday. We're staying at a little bed and breakfast the night of...

I'm planning on wearing an elbow length veil for the ceremony, but I definitely want to take it off after pictures. I know a lot of people do this, but did you/will you switch out your veil for...

I'm having trouble coming up with parent gifts. A little background: my FH and I are very close with my parents and not very close with his parents (without getting too far into it, we fundamentally...

When we were doing our initial planning, my FH was sure he wanted to wear a black tux. Fast forward a few months--my four bridesmaids have all ordered their dresses in a lovely mercury (lightish...

So to preface, I am so not into hair and makeup, but I've accepted that I should probably get my hair professionally done for my wedding. I have four bridesmaids--three of them have very short hair....
