I’m Australian and my fiancé is American. I came to the US working as a private chef onboard a private yacht. I met my fiancé not long after.

Father daughter and mother son dance
Laura in Wedding Reception, on May 26, 2019 at 12:13 AM

We’re planning on doing the father, daughter and mother, son dance at the same time. I’m struggling to find a song that would be perfect. I’m looking for something that’s more on the slow side, easy...

Eco friendly
Laura in Planning, on March 5, 2019 at 7:32 PM

I’m trying to keep our wedding as eco friendly as possible. We’re also on a tight budget and doing a lot of diy but I’m fortunate to have a very crafty mother in law who is very helpful and supports...

Insurance
Laura in Planning, on March 9, 2019 at 6:33 PM

Has anyone bought insurance for their reception? Our venue doesn’t include it. I didn’t think it was really necessary but FH thinks it is because apparently if anyone drives home drunk and gets into...

Not changing last name
Laura in Etiquette and Advice, on March 26, 2019 at 3:47 PM

I’m not taking FH last name and I’ve just realised I don’t know how the officiant should announce us. Maybe the happy couple. Any suggestions?

Wearing white at Rehearsal
Laura in Wedding Attire, on March 24, 2019 at 3:25 PM

Is it weird to wear a white dress at the rehearsal? I’m from Australia and we don’t typically do rehearsal dinner so this tradition is a new concept to me. We actually had a legal ceremony earlier...

Biodegradable plastic cups
Laura in Planning, on March 11, 2019 at 9:27 PM

Has anyone had experience using biodegradable cups? I found some that are made out of plant based plastic and we can compost them afterwards. They have mixed reviews on amazon though. We’re having a...

Anyone familiar with Ben and Jerry’s catering service? I haven’t got a quote yet but I’m thinking it could be a fun dessert option.

Eating and bloating
Laura in Community Conversations, on March 10, 2019 at 7:36 PM

I'm a little worried. I love my dress but I'm starting to think I should've got some more roomy because I also love food lol. It's really pretty fitted and has no room for any bloating. I do tend to...

Non alcoholic drinks
Laura in Do It Yourself, on March 5, 2019 at 10:36 PM

So I’m thinking of doing some different infused waters and lemonade for non alcoholic drinks at our reception. I’ve seen some cool ideas like in this picture. The different flavor combinations are...
