I know nothing about beer except that it comes in cans and bottles. That being said I would like to have 2 or 3 microbrews. They seem to be of a better quality than the BIG brews. At least that's what...

OK.. so maybe this is a temper tantrum. I found my gown on etsy. I mean it's perfect. Color. Detail. Embroidery. Beading. Everything. That was 3 days ago. I convo'd her begging to know how to set up...

Ready for this ladies. I just asked my venue if their quote included soft drinks. It didn't. Alcohol only. So for 19.00 pp I get an Italian beer (Huh?), two cases or red, two cases of white, 1 US...

Here in Phoenix we have an organization called "Waste not, Want not" which takes restaurant leftovers from the night and distributes them to organizations like Meals on Wheels, Food Banks, and Soup...

My caterer (who I love) would give me an Italian dessert buffet of my dreams. Tiramisu, cheesecake, Chocolate mouse, cannollis. With that in mind my fh nixed the idea of chocolate fountains. Don't...

I got the quote back from the caterer that I love. The food quote is more than fair. They are definitely doing the food for my wedding reception. Problem is they want (brace for impact) 19.00 pp for a...

FH and I went to a tasting at a well known Italian restaurant here in Phoenix. When we walked in tired from the 111 degree heat (and looking like something the cat dragged in) we were immediately...

But would you buy your wedding gown from a vendor there? Just asking. Thanks in advance.

My FH and I have lived together-well-let's just say quite awhile. We have no need for toasters, blenders, knick-knacks and the like. What we would like is for people to bring non-perishable food items...

Anyone else have the problem of fitting guests, buffet, DJ, vendors table where they can eat at, bar, and everything else you want in one single room. I'm trying to figure out this. But he's right. I...

Does anyone know if Harry Potter disposable cameras even exist. I'm trying to find them for the kids at my wedding reception. I can't believe they have licensed wands, jewelry, broomsticks, quiddich...

Scabiosas? What colors do they come in? When are they in season? And I know this is based on where you live but are they...

Is it ever acceptable to use Ms. vs. Mrs. or Miss. What are the rules if any? Thanks in advance.

First I'm unusual. I'm very uncomfortable around kids. But I can not get around NOT inviting them. That is just not an option for me. So given that I've come up with two ways to keep them busy during...

I found some wonderful linens I would just LOVE to have at my wedding reception. So I found the number. Called them. And they said "Sorry we only work with wedding professionals. Please have your...

On the MOH. Who pays for the dress? Airfare? And hotel for them? She is trying to tell me we I do?? She is my FH sister. I love her but ouch. Mind you my wedding is in high season in Phoenix. TIA

OK. So I sat down with the caterer. Everything was going great until he asked "So, what are you planning to feed your vendors?" Needless to say my FH and I had not thought of that (massive massive...

You know the old adage. How do you feel about buying a dress online from China? Great prices. About a little hesitant.

I'm looking for the glass half pints or pint bottles for milk. I found one Amish site but it was hugely out of budget. The shipping of glass is huge. My FH were thinking of having a cookie and milk...

I just found out my MOH is diabetic (Insulin dependent). What do diabetics eat (and I know food--but specifics please) and she needs to keep her insulin cold. There is no refrigerator in the bridal...
