Activity for Del

FH and I have been working out whether or not we can balance moving to the town we want to move to with the wedding we are currently planning. We sat down this evening and crunched out all the numbers and it turns out that... YES! We can make this...

Are there any bridal areas where your opinion doesn't coincide with the norm? For me, it's the issue of people proposing at the wedding. I've seen posts on it, and I get why people think it's rude. Objectively, it definitely IS rude. But I would LOVE...

It was pointed out to me that I really should think about ceremony music (thank you wwbride who reminded me!) and so I looked into some possibilities. I made a list of options and went to FH. Now, he is pretty chill about most wedding things. Beach...

On Saturday, we're going to visit FH's great aunt, to take part in a family tradition they have. I'm weirdly nervous about this; but also really excited and honored. The family has kept a wedding veil (or possibly a shawl, no one is completely sure)...

I was watching an old movie the other night, and it was one of those 'wacky' wedding scenes. You know, where she's about to marry the wrong guy and then the right guy comes in and stops her and so she marries him instead. And I used to think that was...

These people were born to be my family, I swear. My FILs offered to host a welcome dinner for everyone the night before the wedding (we're not having a rehearsal, but since it's a DW it's really cool that we'll be able to offer an extra meal now.) I...

I don't want to hijack another thread, but I saw @Celia mention that a chocolate tasting as one of the possible ritual elements of a ceremony. I think I saw another bride mention that in her BAM a while ago too. I've tried googling, but I'm not...

I've got about 15 pounds I'd like to lose before the wedding, mostly leftover baby weight. I've kind of ignored it to focus on nutritional needs while breastfeeding, but I'm going to wean the baby at 9 months, and then I'd like to see about getting...

I know it's a sensitive topic, but does anyone feel like discussing the latest developments in the presidential race? I've been fascinated by elections ever since I was a kid, and I've never seen anything like this. Has any major political party ever...

Just a bit of fun here! You can have an unlimited budget, but only for one thing. What would you choose to get? Custom-designed Dolce and Gabbana gown? Twelve course meal by a celebrity chef? Videography by an Oscar-winning cinematographer? I asked...

I don't need to confirm this for ages, but if I know what we're doing then it's one less thing to think about. How does this sound for an evening reception? Cocktail hour: -stationary displays of cheese and crackers, charcuterie and hummus with...

My mother told me a story today about my brother's wedding. He gave her two tables to invite, so she invited the cousins to whom she was closest. The other cousins (from the asshole side of the family - not missed!) all teamed up against her and...

One of my hobbies is making soaps, and I had an idea to give everyone a homemade 'ocean' soap as a favor, since we're getting married on the beach. But the more I read about it, the more it seems that people really prefer edible favors and since...

Has anyone tried on or bought the bhldn Lucia dress? I'm kind of (extremely) obsessed with it and it's currently in the end of summer sale discounted from $1000 to $350. Unfortunately, the nearest store that carries it is 4.5 hours...

Just got an email with sample menus from our venue. Apparently one thing they can offer as an add-on is a individually plated selection of desserts. That means 10-12 teeny-tiny versions of the best-selling cakes and sweets from their award-winning...
