I'm 37 and have been with my FH since 2013. I know he is my forever and I could not walk through this life without him . My best friend. I have chosen to completely plan my wedding on my own. With a little help from my MOH and my FMIL. It will be a small intimate ceremony with a large reception to follow.

Hi everyone. So I debated for a while on what to do as favors. I read all these articles that say favors are useless. That they get ruined, dropped, left. So my idea is to make a candy station with...

Hi all, I'm super stoked. I picked up the keys to the cabin in the miuntains yesterday! I can't wait to say "I do" and to spend a week where we first fell madly in love.

We are doing it with our cake. We are huge music lovers . And this cake really is us. Ours will actually be a two layer and minus the cascading notes. And I had the cake topper custom made.

Hi everyone, Feeling a bit odd today. I brought my engagement ring in to be cleaned and replated for the big day! Only while I was standing at the counter telling them what I needed. My ring slipped...

Hi everyone! Just for fun. Is your FH walking his mom down the aisle?
![Mrs. Paula Esparza](https://cdn0.weddingwire.com/usr/7/6/3/1/utbp_8267631.jpg?r=70626)
Hey guys. I'm in a little of a dilemma here. I have my song to walk down the aisle to. But not a song for walking vack together. Can I use the same song or should it be a different one? Any...

I had my fitting today and it went so well! It pays to be prepared! The only thing that had to be done to the dress was the bustle. I consider that I got extremely lucky. And hope the good fibes keep...

So I originally planned to walk myself down the aisle. But one of my best friends asked if I would give him the honor of standing in for my father. I love the idea! And I agreed! The wedding is in...

Hi All. Just wanted to get an general idea of what the proper amount to tip your vendors would be? Do you base it off what you pay for their services or what you feel comfortable tipping ?

Hi everyone. Just wondering what to expect at the rehearsal ? Our officiant didn't outline it for us. And I didn't think to ask when we met with him.
![Mrs. Paula Esparza](https://cdn0.weddingwire.com/usr/7/6/3/1/utbp_8267631.jpg?r=70626)
Hi everyone. This may sound silly. But.....for the rehearsal and dinner. What should I wear? Dress, pants, jumper?
