I have mixed feelings. Some people got some amazing candids I'm so glad I have and some people posted some bad photos of me I had to untag and/or ask to be deleted. It was a little out of control with...

I've been the one complaining about the stress of wedding planning for months. What an amazing night. So wonderful to see all the people I love in one place. It rained a lot all day. I got mud on my...

Well both our parents are in town staying at our house and we have managed to stay sane (mine move into their rental today and then we stay at a hotel until wedding day). Then the wedding planner got...

Dinner seating for vendors?
OregonGirl in Planning, on September 13, 2016 at 11:01 AM

Our photographer and ceremony musician will be eating dinner at the venue. My wedding planner says she likes to eat on the fly, but where can I seat the others?

Cake to go?
OregonGirl in Planning, on September 11, 2016 at 11:38 AM

We probably slightly overestimated the amount of cake we will need for our guest count. I hate to see this amazing cake go to waste! What is everyone doing with their leftovers? I thought about...

Bridesmaids complaining
OregonGirl in Planning, on September 8, 2016 at 8:15 PM

The only thing I've asked of my bridesmaids is to show up in a navy dress of their choosing in any price range. One of them complained about the cost of hair (it was an option only and all wanted to...

Song for your parents?
OregonGirl in Planning, on September 8, 2016 at 9:50 AM

My dad sent me some songs a while back and asked if there was a parent of the bride dance and if so he'd like "Still the One" for he and my mom. We are already doing first dance, father/daughter and...

OregonGirl in Wedding Attire, on September 7, 2016 at 12:16 AM

Omg I ordered the Spanx undies for under my dress and they arrived today. I feel like it looks like I'm wearing diapers! Maybe I should have got the black ones! I am not convinced that shape wear is...

Passport name!
OregonGirl in Community Conversations, on August 31, 2016 at 12:54 PM

I need my passport for our honeymoon in December, but I'm changing my name as of our wedding in September. I bought the plane ticket in my maiden name. Should I change the name on my passport yet or...

Spanx?
OregonGirl in Wedding Attire, on August 30, 2016 at 2:45 PM

I am considering something with a light control top for under my wedding dress. Anyone find anything they like? I'm on the thin side, but my dress is very fitted and want to avoid a tummy bulge since...

Anyone else just over it?
OregonGirl in Planning, on August 27, 2016 at 1:02 AM

I haven't liked wedding planning from the start. I try, really I do and I try hard to be positive, but really I cannot stand attending to all of these details all of the time and I feel like I've...

September brides!! more white or more red wine??
OregonGirl in Planning, on August 23, 2016 at 9:48 AM

I'm giving the final beer and wine numbers this week. We are thinking 40-50 bottles of wine for 110 guests (we have 2 kegs of beer too). Is that too much? Also what about white to red ratio for Mid...

OregonGirl in Planning, on August 22, 2016 at 9:05 AM

Photos at the wedding-OK to skip them?
OregonGirl in Planning, on August 22, 2016 at 10:12 AM

I mean I know you don't HAVE to do anything, but I'm thinking about bagging a photo display at the wedding. Maybe just one small one of me and FH by the guest book. Reason why? They are just getting...

OregonGirl in Planning, on August 20, 2016 at 4:05 PM

Place cards! At the print shop: Do you want matte or shiny? What font would you like? Do you want legs on the letters (what are legs?) Would you like icons on them? What icons? How big do you want...
