Anyone NOT having the wedding they always dreamed of?
Lynn in Planning, on September 14, 2017 at 7:26 PM

So are any of you not having the wedding you always wanted and if so, why? Did your desires change, and if not, how are you dealing with the unmet expectations?

Ushers needed?

We are having a small wedding (50) in a chapel. We aren't having a wedding party. Do we need ushers or do people seat themselves?

Who holds my bouquet?
Lynn in Etiquette and Advice, on September 18, 2016 at 12:14 AM
