What is the etiquette for doing the mother/son dance when both mom and step-mom are around? Step-mom mostly raised my fiancé, but real mom MUST be included too.

And I think it's kind of sweet he always wants to be the peacekeeper. We started under our 175 max guest list so it is fine we are adding a gf we didn't know existed here and there. Sometimes you just...

How about a little vent session?? What stresses you out the most right now in your wedding planning? Family stuff? Guest list issues? Budget? Fitness? Everything??

My brother is in the Army and called last night to tell us he was 90% sure he was being deployed to Cuba for 9 months on Saturday. He found out tonight he won't be going after all; praise God for that...

We accomplished so much this weekend (and during the week too), I feel like it's ok to go back to work tomorrow -Bought FH's suit, new shoes, shirt & tie -Bought groomsmen ties -Bought all the...

**I'm going to sound like an ungrateful brat, I know this. But I just can't get over how awful our couples shower was last weekend. I have to share the shenanigans. My FMIL (real mom) is a little bit...

I am one of those really lucky women who LOVES her FMIL. She is such an amazing woman and so giving to FH and I. We didn't have a very good experience with our photographer during our engagement...

One of FH's grandpas is 100 years old and told him today he will be coming to our wedding!! He said it in a sing-song voice too which was so cute. The only thing he asked for was a ride; I think we've...

Guess who just finished 180 jars of jam favors in 100 degree heat? THIS girl! FH asked if I wanted to get started on favors while he painted some trim in the house. Sounded like a horrible idea since...

We found out today from FH's sister (one of my bridesmaids) that his brother and SIL are hosting a foreign exchange student. Everyone in that family (his brother, brother's wife, and their three boys)...

Tell me what yours was like (i.e., how long, what you went over, books you read). Our church has one that lasts for a minimum of 6 months and then they tell you if you're suitable to be married at the...

My good friend and I are both getting married this year and have asked each other to be in each others' weddings. She lives on the east coast, but is from California and having her wedding here. She's...

Not a vent or a rant, just sharing a funny story. MIL calls FH to discuss plans for his bachelor party. Apparently his brother (BM) doesn't know what he would want to do so he asked their mom. A bar...

I'm not sure if I'm being too emotional or what, and just need some opinions please. My FH and I figured out our centerpieces for the reception; instead of doing huge floral centerpieces we are going...

I'm having some issues timing our wedding ceremony and reception due to the sun setting early. We are getting married November 23 and the sun is supposed to set at 4:45p, but our venue is in the hills...
