Are centerpieces REALLY necessary?
Mermaid in Style and Décor, on June 11, 2017 at 2:53 PM

Like the title says...are they? I'm not doing any floral centerpieces because FH's step-mom graciously offered to pay for the flowers, and I didn't want to add to the tab. The tables will be numbered...

Mermaid's Nonpro BAM!
Mermaid in Married Life, on November 12, 2017 at 6:01 PM

My wedding was truly the greatest day of my life. I'll do a full write up with pro photos once I get them back in a couple of weeks, but I'm lazy and on mobile right now. But for now, we have guest...

NWR: got fired today and need cheering up!
Mermaid in Account Support, on November 2, 2017 at 2:37 PM

I've seen this coming for awhile, but it's still soul crushing to lose a job...especially when you're the main provider of the family. I'm hoping this will be a blessing in disguise but I can't stop...

25 "must play songs" - please send help
Mermaid in Planning, on October 31, 2017 at 10:31 AM

I guess I thought choosing alllll the songs for the reception was the DJ's job, but apparently, it isn't. I'm officially 10 days out, and I'm staring at this empty list of 25 "must play" songs while...

Plus size ladies: where do you shop?
Mermaid in Style and Décor, on October 17, 2017 at 7:11 PM

Inspired by an earlier thread! I'm an 18/20 street size and can never find cute trendy clothes. I'm especially interested in fall fashion! Help a girl out? Please don't say Kohl's. I'm there now and...

What's your recessional song?
Mermaid in Planning, on October 18, 2017 at 10:23 AM

Have you picked your song for your recessional, yet? What is it? FH and I love oldies music and right now we've talked about "Hold On I'm Coming" by Sam and Dave, or "Land of 1,000 Dances" by Wilson...

H&MU Trial - need hair feedback!
Mermaid in Wedding Attire, on September 18, 2017 at 11:01 AM

Hey y'all! So I had my hair and makeup trial yesterday (that I drove five hours for, since we're having a destination wedding) and I'm looking for feedback. I like the makeup, but FH isn't crazy about...

November Brides! Where do you stand?
Mermaid in Planning, on August 30, 2017 at 4:03 PM

I'm officially at 72 days! I'm completely psyching out! So far, FH and I still need the following things: - Cake Stand - Cake Topper - Guestbook (we're probably going to do a canvas for everyone to...

Dumb question about reserved seating for the ceremony
Mermaid in Planning, on August 25, 2017 at 4:19 PM

I'm a funeral director, and when I conduct a funeral, we bring reserved signs to a church (we already have them set up in our chapel at work) for the chairs in which the family will be sitting. How...

Ladies: let's talk UNDER the dress
Mermaid in Wedding Attire, on August 13, 2017 at 2:26 PM

Shapewear, Spanx, etc! What are you wearing underneath? I purchased my dress from David's Bridal. They make you wear this corset-type of thing when you try on dresses; it sucks everything in. I looked...

KWR: Thanks, Groupon!
Mermaid in Community Conversations, on July 27, 2017 at 4:26 PM

Scored a Groupon today for ballroom dance classes for me and FH! The dance studio I'll be working with has a specific package for weddings, and they help you get down the moves for your first dance!...

Wedding dress woes
Mermaid in Wedding Attire, on July 10, 2017 at 4:03 PM

Hi everyone! It's been a month or two since I've been on here. I missed WW! I jumped on purchasing my dress a month after getting engaged because I REALLY liked it at the time, so I've had it since...

Mermaid's BAS! Southern garden party style! (pic heavy!)
Mermaid in Community Conversations, on June 6, 2017 at 11:34 AM

FH's aunt was gracious enough to throw us a couple's shower at her beautiful home over Memorial Day weekend! And let me just say, she can throw one hell of a party. People came from all over GA (FH...

Couples shower and gifts
Mermaid in Planning, on May 25, 2017 at 3:03 PM

Happy Thursday everyone! FH and I are in route to our hometown for our couple's shower on Saturday. And it just occurred to me that I have no idea what to do when we get gifts. What's the proper...

Mermaid in Etiquette and Advice, on May 2, 2017 at 8:17 PM

Which celebrity would you invite to your wedding?
Mermaid in Community Conversations, on April 30, 2017 at 12:21 PM

Inspired by another thread. I'd invite Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam holds such a special place in my heart, and it would be awesome if he could perform for my father/daughter dance, too. I...

Mermaid in Planning, on April 26, 2017 at 12:47 PM

Originally, I detested the idea of a wedding party. But I've since come around to that idea, and I kinda like the thought of my three best girlfriends standing next to us wearing pretty dresses as we...
