NWR: Heimlich via hilarity
Shannon S. in Planning, on July 19, 2010 at 12:54 PM

Saturday, I was eating leftover Chinese food over the sink. (I'm classy.) Suddenly, I started to choke on a goopy bit of snow pea. My fiance heard me gagging, and ran to the kitchen to help. "Here,...

I've been a bridesmaid a few times, as well as a bride (this is my second marriage). Here are my suggestions on how brides can be kind to their maids: 1. These are the women you love the most, and...

What Was Your Worst Bridesmaid Dress, Ever?
Shannon S. in Planning, on July 16, 2010 at 8:15 PM

Tell the tale! Mine was floor-length heavy black taffeta, with layers of crinoline, and a satin sash. Did I leave out the part where it flattened my boobs and made me look about six inches tall? Oh,...

My First Guest List Chop...

I was doing so great. We were so calm! Everything was fine. Until. Our venue emailed today to say the seated capacity was 75. The website says 85, which was going to be just fine for a guest list of...

Vent - Is anyone else kind of skeeved out by the bouquet toss?

Reception Roast - Update
Shannon S. in Planning, on July 13, 2010 at 7:33 PM

Thanks everyone for your support! I spoke to my fiance and explained that, while I understood he was very enthusiastic about the roast idea, I just couldn't go along with it. First, it's not the best...

How do I tune out the noise? And the pressure? And the demands to bring a random date?
Shannon S. in Planning, on July 8, 2010 at 10:04 AM

My fiance and I are totally the sort of people who would rather go out for a beer and a burger, vs. a fancy tablecloth dinner. So for our reception, we're looking to rent a private room at a great...
