How long did it take you to get ready? Hair, makeup, dress, the whole nine yards. I'm getting ready at the reception site before I get married at the church down the street. They don't want us to arrive until noon but the wedding is at 2pm and I know...

I don't know if you guys remember me talking about the trouble I was having with getting my Catholic Church Wedding. The church we wanted to have it at said it was for members only and I had to run around getting permission from my Pastor and working...

Ok so I've been putting this off but I finally made an appointment to go try on wedding dresses! AH! I'm going to go to Davids first because they have great prices and I don't want to break the bank on my dress. I know you ladies have given mixed...

Reading the post about songs people are using for the wedding made me remember an issue I'm having. My Dad likes hard rock music and is requesting Nine Inch Nails and/or Marylin Mason played at the reception. I was thinking maybe we could put a song...

I helped in a wedding recently that my FH was a groomsmen in. She just sent me a thank you card with a gift card in it. Should I send her a thank you for the thank you or is that just redundent?
