Although MANY people will disagree with me, I am going to share my reasons on the decision of having a cash bar at my wedding. As a pastors daughter, I come from a very religious background. My fiancee also comes from a religious background. Being a...

Someone asked me what flavor our cake was today....I said "cake flavor, with mostly white icing." I laughed at myself when I realized I really DON'T care and just want the day to get here already... What have you stopped caring about?

Is it wrong for us to ask our guest to Byob (bring your own bottle.)
