We'll just about 2 months to go. This morning I was looking at my invite and I thought to myself " really pretty I really like that". THEN I started thinking about everything else. Why does it feel...

NWR... Do you share your hobbies with FH/FW?
Margaret in Community Conversations, on May 2, 2016 at 2:13 PM

I had an old boyfriend that had absolutely ZERO interest in any of my hobbies and when I asked to learn/participate in his, he was unwilling to share. That was the beginning of the end to THAT one! My...

Invitation Questions...
Margaret in Planning, on April 26, 2016 at 6:01 PM

I have two questions; 1) Is it expected/common to send invitations to vendors? Presumably, they know when/where/etc because they are contracted. But folks like Officiant, etc... do they get an...

Getaway transportation...ideas
Margaret in Style and Décor, on April 22, 2016 at 9:46 AM

FH and I can't agree on "getaway" transportation. He wants to walk to our hotel (which, granted, is a block away) which could probably work any other time except for the Capitol Hill Block party going...

Margaret in Style and Décor, on April 19, 2016 at 6:28 PM

*sigh* After talking with my FH last night; we decided the sweetheart table was a great idea (thank you to those who helped with that decision) So, now I'm trying to figure out a good place to put the...

Margaret in Style and Décor, on April 18, 2016 at 4:45 PM

Looking for new inspiration for head table configuration. We had it all planned out; THEN I was re-reading our contract the other evening, and it states "no food/drink on carpeted stage". I know that...

DoC...what are the 'typical' duties
Margaret in Planning, on March 3, 2016 at 3:59 PM

I hired a DoC... I think that it will be the best money spent so far; but besides what is called out in her contract, what are 'typical' DoC duties? I understand that she will be the go-to-gal for all...

Margaret in Wedding Attire, on April 15, 2016 at 8:20 AM

FH and I have been taking dance lessons...last night I asked our instructor if he's heard feedback from brides on dancing in their gowns. His suggestion, and what he's heard from brides, is "costume...

Small surprise from FH
Margaret in Planning, on April 13, 2016 at 9:14 AM

This morning I awoke to a text message that read "100 days baby...!!" Something so small that made me smile. He's watching the clock too! What does your SO do that brings an "awwww"???!

When to give the bells...noisy??
Margaret in Community Conversations, on April 12, 2016 at 1:14 PM

FH Irish'ness is showing in some of the traditions we are honoring. Namely bells. We have bells that we are giving our guests to ring at the end of the ceremony. We had considered using them as...

Why use a registry?
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on April 5, 2016 at 9:04 AM

I am weary over the "honeyfund" debate. The only argument I've heard is that it's "tacky". Why? Why register anywhere at all? What are the reasons and motivations for using any gift registry? This...

That happened today. I delivered my envelopes to the calligrapher for addressing. Of all the 'stuff' that I've planned, and have set up, etc. THIS was the moment that made me stop in my tracks and say...

Dry wedding... Nah, not even
Margaret in Community Conversations, on March 29, 2016 at 3:41 PM

Heh. My wedding will be so far from dry its ree-dicolus. I AM, though, contemplating adding 'bitch water' (don't get your panties in a bunch... its a term of endearment, really). Mikes Hard Lemonade,...

Question about Programs
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on March 25, 2016 at 1:34 PM

I know folks have an opinion on programs; money sink that just get left in trash to memorable keepsake of the blessed day and everywhere in between. I get that - I haven't made up my mind if I am...
