Activity for Melanie

FH and I have thought about TTC 2-3 years after wedding and only having 1 child. I've taught small children in a public service setting, been a substitute teacher in the past, and while I'm great with older kids- age 12+- I'm not super interested or...

I got my veil through a flash sale for $40 on David's Bridal website. It's a longer one and matches my dress fabric perfectly. The reason why I have regret is because being Catholic, it reminds me too much of a Communion veil rather than a...

Hi, I'm having a Catholic Lite version of a wedding- I'm Catholic, FH is baptized Christian but not Catholic. Our Deacon told us we may get lucky and have a 20 min ceremony. Anybody have the non-traditional Catholic mass- how long was it roughly?

Hi, On an extremely tight budget for flowers- $600 max. Have bridal party of 2 BM/MOH, 2 BM/GM, and both sets of parents. So far this is what I plan to have for flowers- Bridal bouquet 2 BM peony bouquets Corsage for Mother of Bride...

I know sometimes dates are a way to play on the fun of a wedding- I'm actually very surprised to find out not many people have picked the June 2016 palindrome dates where I'm getting married. For those who like number play, this thread is for you....

My work is requesting our information for updated business cards. I'm getting married shy of 2 months from now. I plan to use my maiden name as my middle name and take on FH name after the wedding. Business card requests happen once, maybe twice a...

Guests are taking a really long time to send back RSVPs... Is this normal? We gave a month and a half response time. Does a DW have a factor in slow responses? Deadline in a couple of weeks and have received 15% back. Just making sure I'm not going...

Going to be honest, I don't wear much makeup- work, out, home. What would you all recommend as far as the absolute essentials for the big day? I have really sensitive skin, which has deterred me from using much makeup at all. Thanks in advance. I'm...

I'm Catholic and just got this done a couple of weeks ago. It was 'okay' in my opinion. Personally I think premarital counseling in any form is a great thing before the wedding. Did any of you have to do this, any other Catholics out there? What did...

I am starting to get back RSVPs and I am noticing there are more family members who plan to attend than friends who I thought were really good friends from college, grad school, etc. Granted I have a DW but I can't help but feel a little slighted by...

I'm actually quite surprised at the amount of guests who you would never think would come to your wedding actually rsvp with yes. Some people I haven't seen in 15 years! I'm actually very excited. Anybody else have this?

Hi, I've been only an 'official' member on WW for a couple of days but have been referencing back/forth on this site since I got engaged 1.5 yr ago. Getting married 6-11-16 (palindrome) outside of Charleston, SC (small town where I grew up.) Doing a...

Real talk- Haven't bought my wedding shoes yet. Trying to decide if I want some type of heel (have an ankle length tea wedding dress) or go comfortable with flats for both the ceremony and reception. What did you do? Is it worth sacrificing foot...

Hi all, Having a small wedding, about to send invites. Reception venue can only hold max 50 but FH wants to invite his close friends, driving list up to 90. Destination for most people, yet I worry about a lot of folks coming and breaking over 50...
