No longer have veil regret
Melanie in Wedding Attire, on May 16, 2016 at 4:50 PM

A while back I posted about having veil regret. I took a good number of advice on here and got something that better suited. Thank you! Instead of long fingertip veil, a mini one from Etsy.

Melanie in Married Life, on April 30, 2016 at 11:00 AM

FH and I have thought about TTC 2-3 years after wedding and only having 1 child. I've taught small children in a public service setting, been a substitute teacher in the past, and while I'm great with...

Veil regret
Melanie in Wedding Attire, on April 22, 2016 at 11:14 AM

I got my veil through a flash sale for $40 on David's Bridal website. It's a longer one and matches my dress fabric perfectly. The reason why I have regret is because being Catholic, it reminds...

I've started using the Lose It! App this week to help shed a few lbs before the wedding. Has anybody used this for a prolonged period of time and has it helped you?

RSVPs slow to come back
Melanie in Planning, on April 7, 2016 at 11:37 AM

Guests are taking a really long time to send back RSVPs... Is this normal? We gave a month and a half response time. Does a DW have a factor in slow responses? Deadline in a couple of weeks and have...

Old Fashioned?
Melanie in Etiquette and Advice, on March 24, 2016 at 5:41 PM

When my FH and I got engaged a year and a half ago, FH asked for my parent's blessing. Do guys still do this or is it becoming an old fashioned thing? Just really curious more than anything.

Anybody do Pre-Cana Premarital Classes?
Melanie in Planning, on March 20, 2016 at 10:14 AM

I'm Catholic and just got this done a couple of weeks ago. It was 'okay' in my opinion. Personally I think premarital counseling in any form is a great thing before the wedding. Did any of you have to...
