Why FH Why (attire rant)
OGmelanie in Wedding Attire, on February 14, 2015 at 7:09 PM

I honestly didn't think that finding attire for FH and his GM would be such a struggle. I asked FH today what colours he wanted his guys to wear. I told him that I think navy pants/shorts (casual...

Attire: How to make the groom stand out?
OGmelanie in Wedding Attire, on January 18, 2015 at 4:52 PM

I'm racking my brain trying to think of a way to make my FHs attire stand out from his two GM. I'm finding it a little harder since we are going pretty casual. They will be wearing a white slim-fit...

Catering question: Would you pick food that you can't taste first?
OGmelanie in Do It Yourself, on January 19, 2015 at 7:45 PM

We had had such a hard time finding a caterer. Between cost and venue restrictions, we are pretty much SOL. I did stumble upon one on the weekend though that is reasonably priced and has some of the...

OGmelanie in Etiquette and Advice, on November 22, 2014 at 11:28 AM

Please bare with me if this is already a thing/not a thing, I have never personally RSVP'd to a wedding. I was thinking what if I just write the guests names on the RSVP line? Maybe getting to...

How often are you in contact with your vendors?
OGmelanie in Planning, on November 16, 2014 at 7:15 PM

I don't know if it's because I booked all of ours so early on, or because we are still so far off. I just have this feeling that I'm not staying in contact with them enough, even though I don't really...

JFF: What is your take on this?
OGmelanie in Community Conversations, on November 16, 2014 at 11:09 AM

SO, We have a new supervisor at work. No one can stand her and she is possibly the dumbest person I have ever met. She has told us she was getting married next year and has latched onto a few of us at...

Venting! ...Stupid BMs, stupid online seller!
OGmelanie in Planning, on November 10, 2014 at 7:13 PM

I had finally found both BMs a dress they agreed on. Awesome! It's not an actually BM dress and it was only $35. I was the one who was going to be purchasing it, but them paying. So almost...

Sort of PSA for anyone still looking for their jewelry or gifts!
OGmelanie in Do It Yourself, on October 29, 2014 at 10:53 PM

I've noticed "PSAs" are usually used for discount sales, but I thought I'd share! If anyone caught my post yesterday about the slim wedding band debate, the update is I bought the dirt cheap one lol....

OGmelanie in Etiquette and Advice, on October 27, 2014 at 7:05 PM

My parents finally offered to pay for catering a little while ago, and my mom is supposed to be going to restaurants..etc. to get quotes from them as she has more time than I do. SHE HAS DONE NOTHING...

Does anyone elses mother (or other FM) insist on being there when you and your spouse open your gifts?
OGmelanie in Etiquette and Advice, on October 13, 2014 at 7:29 PM

I know it is probably a family celebration for some people, but this is just another thing in a long list of stuff my mother has done to me. Two weeks ago my mom went to a wedding and was telling me...

Alternates to wedding speeches and toasts
OGmelanie in Etiquette and Advice, on October 4, 2014 at 11:27 PM

My FH and were discussing wedding speeches and decided we both really don't want to make one. We are both really introverted people and speaking to a crowd of people that we both barely know would...
