Now that I’m finally a Mrs. and the honeymoon is over, I wanted to know does anyone have any experience with changing their name using those online sites. I know this is WW, but The Knot has one. I...

I have been researching transportation options, and some of them are just plain pricy. We paid $1200 bucks for both venues, so $625 for seven hours would be reasonable if this weren’t a...

Are your spouses in-laws adding to your stress levels or are they cooperative?

I am so annoyed. How hard is it to use the link on an invitation to say YES or NO? I’ll be honest, I’m extremely disappointed in many people I invited to my special day. If I knew I’d have to call,...

So, this isn’t my “beef,” but my FH had a “text argument” on a group chat their other siblings and parent shares. He was asking about something wedding related, and (as usual) his brother was being a...

I asked this question under a different category, but I was hoping for a large response. Here’s the scenario: A close relative of mine has a new significant other and a new baby after a divorce. My...

A close relative of mine has a new significant other and a new baby after a divorce. My relative wanted to know about a “plus one,” but I do not know the SO. I only met this person very briefly at a...

My fiancé and I announced our wedding date on social media back in October 2018. Our wedding is five months away. It was brought to my attention that it is probably too late for “Save-the-Dates,” so I...

I am five months out from my wedding day. I am on a serious budget, swimming in student loan debt, and I don’t want to go to a florist. Ideas for bridesmaid bouquets that do not look cheap. I thought...
