Our awesome photographer is done editing our engagement photos. This is her blog post of our photo shoot: http://www.ramonagarbald.com/2015/06/20/val-matt-engaged/ After seeing this photos I love love...

So, FH invited some people from work to our wedding, and today was following up with the non-response ones. One of them came to his cubicle and apologized for not having RSVP'd yet, and asked him if...

Today a guest apologized for not RSVP'ing earlier - though he's still on time, kind of - and explained that he was busy because he was in Indonesia leading a research tour for North Korean...

For those of you who are already married, or brides to be that already printed yours, when did you print your seating chart? Did you print it the week before? We're a bit over 3 weeks away, and have...

Last weekend, FH and I were joking about what would be the weirdest thing that could happen at our wedding, and I said I just wanted a Stormtrooper to show up as a guest. Not do anything weird, just...

We got a sneak peek photo from our engagement photo shoot! Some of you may remember we were very nervous because, well, we're not photo people. FH was a bit uncomfortable at first, so there was a...

We attended FH's cousin's wedding this past weekend and, being so close to my own wedding, I paid special attention to everything. The first lesson I learned was that most people overlook the little...

Yesterday, while choosing wedding music, I realized I wanted the Star Wars theme as our reception entrance song. Long story short, FH thought that would be incredibly sappy and now we're not having...

This is a last-minute question. Tonight is our bridal shower, hosted by FH's aunt. Back home, and especially in my mom's hometown, the bride brings a small thank you gift for the hostess, like flowers...

I actually liked the post-your-unpopular opinion thread. I know it went downhill on page 12, but I enjoyed the first 11 pages, even if I disagreed with maybe half of the posts. Too bad it's gone!

I thought I'd do a new Canadian shout-out, since it's been a few months since the last one and I've seen there's a few new canucks here. Hello Canadian brides, drop a few lines here to introduce /...

We're having our engagement photo shoot next week, and I would love some advice from those of you who already had yours, especially if you had it outside. I'm not sure if parenthesis or question marks...

I didn't see a FGF discussion so I thought I'd start one. I'm thrilled because we finally booked our tickets to our honeymoon! We still need to book hotels/AirBnB and other transportation, but now...

FH and I have been debating over this for a few days. I want to order our thank you cards in advance and get them ready so we can send them after our wedding day (Vistaprint has a thank you card that...

Figured I'd contribute to try and fight the spam! This is just a small vent. We're giving little bags of non-pareil white chocolate mints as favours, and were buying them from Michaels. We needed two...

FH comes from a very small, tight-knit community, so there's a bunch of people that I don't know, or that I know but neither of us like, that "had to be invited" regardless. Last night FH texted one...

My FH's aunts are organizing a bridal shower both for my FH's cousin and myself. They asked us both what we needed in our household, to figure out what to give us. So, I called FMIL to ask her which...

I was going to pay for hair and makeup for all my BMs, but two of them decided they'd like to do their own hair and makeup. I still want to pay for the remaining BMs hair/makeup, but I feel that I...
