And yet you kept your cool when your fiance did not, and instead wrote a not-even-angry-but-this-shit-better-get-handled letter: (warning, it's three pages long, hence going into comments instead of...

Wondering how those of you who changed your names went about it! I know there are a million different websites that are supposed to help you do it - for a price. What did you use? How easy was it? Did...

Sometimes we get ourselves so wrapped up in all the stress and preparation that goes into a wedding that it's easy to forget what a wonderful thing it actually is. I'll admit, I've been FREAKING OUT...

FH has been having a really rough time at work lately - he's someone who really cares about his job, so when the team is struggling, and his boss is screaming, he really takes it to heart. He's...

I kinda rolled my eyes a little inside when FH scanned a $250 Nutri Ninja unit thingy when we were doing our registry, but now that it's in my head, I can't even say how many times I've been...

I've struggled with depression since I was 15. I've gone through all different methods of treatment. Mostly I know how to deal with it. Some years are better than others. I've been doing really well...

This is one of my worst fears... something happening to FH. But to have it happen so close to the wedding date, never actually getting to share that special expression of love together... it's...

Hello, all! I know a lot of you have mentioned having women on the groom's side. What flowers did you/are you planning to have for them? I have four bridesmaids on my side and am getting them...

I was never the type of girl who pictured my wedding day, so during this planning process, I've been really starting everything from scratch. I went looking for dresses thinking I had a good start...

I'm sitting here stalking forums. I worked 11pm-7am last night, which means I got up at 9:30pm. After work I had a doctor's appointment, then came home for about an hour to wake FH up, then went to my...

So, I get stressed out about money easily and was talking to FH yesterday about all the little expenses that brides have and grooms don't. One such specific that I brought up was shapewear. Apparently...

Is it okay to hand out invites? We have very recently joined a Rennie group and are still getting to know a lot of the people there, but they’re awesome and we’d love to have them at our wedding! But...

...and start using your new last name early?? Our wedding is only four months away, and lately when I am signing up for things, I keep thinking I ought to just go ahead and use my new last name to...

I can not contain myself right now - I work nights and I grabbed the mail on my way out. I'd made an invitation with Basic Invite and ordered a mock-up and it arrived in the mail today! It looks even...

I am a very proud auntie of three beautiful nieces, ages 17, 15, and 11, and a nephew who is turning 1 just a few months before my wedding. My nephew is going to be my RB, with my sister helping him...

What are some of the weirdest wedding traditions you've come across when you're planning? I was looking through some old pictures today and saw a high school friend of mine who, at the reception, cut...

So... not to sound ignorant here, but this whole concept of a groom's cake is completely new to me. My mother had never heard of it, either, and we're wondering if it's more of a southern thing. My...

FH and I are having our wedding and reception in Missouri, but the vast majority of my friends/family for the past 30 years are in Pennsylvania and can not make the trip down, so we are having a...

FH and I are planning about a week-long honeymoon. I grew up in Erie, PA so I've been to Niagara Falls countless times, but he's never been. And that is actually where my sister and her hubby, my...
