Marissa in Planning, on August 19, 2019 at 2:25 PM

Anyone order invitations from Walgreens or Walmart? I've scoured all the wedding invitation sites and I'm too picky to find something I like! However, I do like some of the ones on Walgreens' website...

Rent vs buy?
Marissa in Planning, on January 13, 2020 at 8:48 AM

What is everyone’s opinion on renting vs buying decorations? I’m buying a few things because a friend of mine got married and is getting rid of things for a good price. But I’m definitely not opposed...

Etsy Rings
Marissa in Wedding Attire, on April 30, 2019 at 3:12 PM

Has anyone gotten their engagement rings or wedding bands from Etsy? I would rather support small shops than the chain retailers and the awful diamond industry (look it up- it's bad). Plus, many...

17 days!
Marissa in Planning, on July 8, 2020 at 12:07 AM

Anyone else going through with their wedding? How are you doing? Mine is in 17 days and after waiting 3.5 years on top of dealing with covid uncertainty, I can hardly believe it 😱

July Brides?
Marissa in Community Conversations, on March 19, 2020 at 10:03 PM

Our wedding is supposed to be July 25th. I don’t know if I should plan to reschedule or not. It’s disheartening because we’ve been waiting 3 years for the big day while I’ve been finishing college. On...

Marissa in Registry, on February 19, 2020 at 10:00 AM

Before you come after me with pitchforks, let me just say that I am not expecting people to come to my wedding merely to shower us in gifts/money. I'm not trying to be greedy whatsoever. I want my...
