How did you stick to your decisions and not feel guilty?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on May 21, 2019 at 2:25 PM

I have written this plenty of times on here and all of you have been more than supportive! I really couldn't go through this process without any of you. In a nutshell - fiancé's sister had her first...

FH and I were thinking of investing in a vitamix...we have been for a while. It seems that it would be our all in one: - food processor - blender - mixer - smoothie maker - soups My wedding website is...

Petal throwing or bouquet?
The Sealpups in Wedding Ceremony, on May 19, 2019 at 8:30 PM

I have two 3 year old girls - they're both very well behaved, have the potential to be shy but overall, very nice and pleasant. (They aren't rowdy). I keep going back and fourth if they should do...

Did you have your parents skip the speeches and toasts?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on May 21, 2019 at 3:36 PM

FH and I come from a culture where family is everything and it's all about tradition. I don't think I would want our parents to speak at our reception. For one - it would be our moms because our dads...

Help with wedding registry and monetary gifts, please? Has anyone used Zola's registry?
The Sealpups in Registry, on May 19, 2019 at 2:23 AM

In both of our cultures (my fiancé and I), our families tend to give monetary gifts for the wedding. BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING ELSE - it is in the culture for years, every generation, decade, etc......

I'm struggling with planning this wedding all alone - any advice?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on May 19, 2019 at 1:48 AM

I'm at a little over 106 days until we get married. I have been doing all the planning. My MOH has been great with things. My bridesmaids are out of town but have offered help and just started...

Aren't rehearsal dinners supposed to be somewhat close to the venue?
The Sealpups in Parties and Events, on May 15, 2019 at 4:23 AM

Our wedding ceremony and venue will be in the city - 25 minutes away from where we (and our families) live. The church and venue are 5 miles apart. I always thought that the rehearsal dinner would...

Bridesmaid is being very helpful - help?
The Sealpups in Planning, on May 13, 2019 at 5:04 PM

3 out of my 5 bridesmaids (including MOH) are all out of town. The only thing I requested from them is to stay with the palette of the dress, be at rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. I don't expect...

Would this be engagement picture overload?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on May 13, 2019 at 5:01 PM

We just got our engagement pictures back and I've started putting some on our website. Disclaimer: we're a very low-key couple. We both understand that no one cares about these pictures as much as we...

What are items you can ask for with the bridal registry?
The Sealpups in Registry, on May 12, 2019 at 8:56 PM

The fiancé and I will not have a registry for our wedding. In our cultures, family members just give monetary gifts. We also decided not to live together before marriage, so we'll finally be...

Can you negotiate with hotel block?
The Sealpups in Planning, on May 13, 2019 at 4:28 PM

The proposal I was sent was for $250 (king) and $269 (queen and queen) a night and apparently i'm saving $30-$40. The hotel is for staybridge suites. With my own research,...

i hate my bridesmaid so much - do some friendships disappear after the wedding?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on May 11, 2019 at 9:31 PM

I've known my friend/bridesmaid for more than 10 years but have been growing apart from her in recent years. In the past 3-4 years, I was able to (finally) complete my bachelor's and master's degree....

Can you get away with some fake flowers?
The Sealpups in Do It Yourself, on May 11, 2019 at 3:36 PM

I have two flower girls and would love for them to have a simple flower crown (not too big or rustic) and a small bouquet. (I'm still deciding if I want them to throw petals. They're both 3 years...

Would this be considered "shade" if i added this to our wedding website?
The Sealpups in Planning, on May 8, 2019 at 9:11 PM

I stated on here that my future MIL/SIL are the type of people who offer unsolicited advice over everything. It's always a nice gesture to help but they get this ego trip over it and have controlling...

How involved are mother and sister in laws supposed to be with wedding planning?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on May 6, 2019 at 12:09 AM

This is our 7th year together (my fiancé and I). We were together 6 years before he popped the question. I was never close to his sister - she played the role of "monster in law" these past few years...

Do certain designs have a meaning behind it?
The Sealpups in Style and Décor, on May 3, 2019 at 5:40 PM

Everyone keeps asking me about my wedding "theme" - all i know is that I want it classic, modern yet a bit traditional. Colors are a neutral palette made up of cream/oyster, taupe, champagne +...

How did you set up your centerpieces?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on May 1, 2019 at 7:54 PM

I have way too many ideas. I would like to keep the centerpieces elegant yet simple. I was thinking: 1 floral centerpiece 1 candle And gold table numbers that stand on their own. Fiancé and I made an...

Have you been randomly getting emotional during wedding planning that has nothing to do with it?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on May 1, 2019 at 8:24 PM

This has nothing to do with wedding planning but I find that my emotions are getting the best out of me over family dynamics stuff. I'm asian - that will tell you everything in a nutshell. Not to...

No social media and a wedding hashtag? Is this possible?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on April 30, 2019 at 4:28 PM

I found the quirkiest wedding hashtag for us but at the same time, I would hate for people to post on social media before we do. We know many people who are social media obsessed and narcissistic and...

Can you have a bridal shower without friends?
The Sealpups in Parties and Events, on April 25, 2019 at 3:52 AM

Most of my bridesmaids are out of town. My MOH is my sister (who is here) and a friend (who I’ve hit my boiling point with). History with this friend: known her for 10+ years. In recent years, I’ve...
