FH and I have been secretly taking dance lessons! Ssshhhh!! We have a first dance choreographed with our instructor and feel really confident that it will go well. My question is this; because it is...

FH has 3 grandkids... boy 7, girl 7, boy 2. He doesn't believe that children (even his adult children) should call me by my first name. So, his kids will call me Miss Margaret. (Which I dislike, but...

Just wondering...how many of you ladies are taller than your FH? Do you rock the heels anyway? I'm at that point now where I have to decide on shoes before my gown alterations. It's not like its a...

Just realized after reading someone else's post that I never did the intro thing. I've been posting so, I'm no stranger here... but! I'm Margaret. My FH is LeRoy. We live in the great Pacific...

Today, as I was waiting for the elevator - a co-worker saw me and asked "hey, aren't you married yet??!" and I said "No, July!!" He said "Getting close!!". I got on the elevator and totally lost it....

Admittedly, I've attended maybe 3 weddings in my 55 years, and one of those was my first one. So.... absolutely NO expert on any of this - fumbling through it with the help of this site and good...

First off... no flaming please! I've read equally on both sides FOR and AGAINST on the internet so, I'm asking this group for an opinion/guidance. My men will be wearing cowboy hats. Our wedding is...

I need to rant a bit...please forgive--BETTER YET.. if you have a strategy for this situation... let me know!! My wedding is on July 23. All planning is running along smoothly, everything running...

I'm new to these boards... if asking for recommendations is allowed... Does anyone have great recommendations for Day of Coordinators in the Seattle, WA area? AND any other awesome finds in Seattle...

My ceremony and reception are in the same room. There really isn't a separate space to move the crowd into (85-100). There is going to be some teardown of the chairs from the ceremony, placement of...

We are having our rehearsal on the Thursday before the ceremony. I suppose we should host a dinner... what is everyone else doing? I was inquiring about costs/menus near my venue. BOY! just about met...

I am considering a reception dress. I 'might' want to change after dancing... not sure yet. How many of you ladies have gone with a reception dress, what were your reasons, and when are you changing...

My FH wants to let every one sit wherever they want for reception. We are having buffet. I'm concerned that it will become chaos.. anyone done this?

For the 'Grand Entrance' part of this question... how do folks do this? Does the entire wedding party come in and get introduced or just the newly wed couple? What are you planning (or did!) that...

What's your opinion on STDs... we have a summer wedding, so I'm leaning toward necessary, but WHEN should I send them?? Yikes! I'm running a bit late on them, I'm afraid!

I'm thinking of having a dessert bar instead of cake. I'm kicking around the idea of an ice cream sundae bar / root beer floats, pie, popcorn bar, candy bar, cookie bar, cupcake tower, donut bar, or...

My FH invited his ex wife via his daughter to our wedding. We are flying his daughter (aged 28) and her two young sons out to attend/be in our wedding. My fiance told his daughter that her mom could...
