I’ve planned our entire wedding in 3-4 months and was making myself sick with stressing over how to make everything work. My mom has been planning a family vacation to Hawaii that would have me back...

Leslie in Family and Relationships, on August 3, 2019 at 12:59 PM

I see sooo many posts about people having issues with their MOH being flakey or not responding, but is anyone else just blown away with how much their friend has done? As soon as we moved out wedding...

Originally we weren’t going to do one, but my fiancée is kind of interested. I’m not sure how much it will be used, but I do think we have a lot of opportunities and it might be silly to not take...

Tan Lines
Leslie in Hair and Makeup, on July 14, 2019 at 11:13 PM

I’m not the type to really worry about tanning per se, and I’ve never gotten a fake tan. I have already enjoyed a couple lake trips and river floats this summer though, without thinking too much of...

Budget Frustration
Leslie in Planning, on July 7, 2019 at 12:43 PM

Everything has started adding up, my wedding looks like it’s going to be a couple thousand more than anticipated to be able to do everything we want. It’s not too crazy and we won’t be facing any debt...

Running processional
Leslie in Do It Yourself, on July 2, 2019 at 11:07 AM

So I know a lot of other brides had diy weddings, how did you run the processional without a wedding coordinator or anyone there? We hadn’t considered this part at all but now that we’re working on...

Family Member Officiating
Leslie in Etiquette and Advice, on June 19, 2019 at 4:09 PM

My fiancee and I decided to ask her brother officiate our wedding, since we're not religious and we're having a small intimate wedding. He's not a professional and I don't think he would accept money...

Leslie in Wedding Attire, on June 17, 2019 at 11:21 AM

Now that I have my wedding gown it's time for me to look more at accessories and undergarments. I definitely need something backless but I've never worn anything along those lines in the past. Anyone...
