Activity for MrsRies&Love

How many of you will be texting, chatting, or getting ready with your FS on the wedding day? Or will you be ceasing all communication until the first look or ceremony? Our first look isn't until 3, and ceremony is at 5:30pm. I'm going to try so hard...

Hi all! So, I found out through my grandmother that one of my cousins didn't receive their invitation to the wedding. I only have one aunt/uncle who has 4 children, all who are married, and all who are on the guest list with their spouses. My uncle...

Ok...I never thought of this for some reason, but now I'm so disappointed in myself for not thinking of it sooner! Do you include your vendors in the seating chart? We are obviously paying for their dinners, but I never really thought of where they...

As I'm finishing up writing my vows, and FH is finishing his, he asked a question: Can we read our vows to each other before the wedding day? So that we might not ugly cry too much, and feel less anxious during the ceremony? Is this bad luck? Is...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Can someone tell me approximately how many people stay until the end for the reception send off? I know this won't be an exact amount, but I'm just hoping to get a rough idea. It's hard to tell with our crowd. We're doing a...

Let me start by saying we've had a whirlwind with our caterers. Our first caterer went out of business a few months ago, our second had unforeseen health problems and won't be able to caterer. So we're on our third caterer. She's within our budget,...

Hey everyone! So, my DOC encouraged me that programs are a waste of money (which, I totally agree). But then she suggested maybe having a welcome sign that listed the bridal party and important people. Her logic was since there wouldn't be a program,...

I get it - Cocktail Hour. But, what if it was 45 minutes? Our cocktail hour is in a different section of the venue than the reception, so our DOC and I thought about having her rally everyone into the reception after about 45 minutes., which is 10...

Hi everyone! Feeling a little weird today, looking for some advice and wanting to share some of my recent intimate photos! I'm a very self-conscious bride. Since college, I've gained a good bit and with trying to juggle two jobs with my sanity, I...

100 days and we officially had our second caterer to back out on us (due to unforeseen medical issues). Soo.. yay! Here we are. So, we are in the search for a new caterer with less than 4 months to go (fun). Sorry for the second post in one day, but...

I finished assembling most of my invitations last night. And then I immediate panicked and wanted to rip them all open to make sure I didn't forget to put anything in any of them. Anyone else feel this? It drove me crazy all night, and I'm normally...

My mom and her boyfriend have been dating for almost two years now, and they live together. Over that time, I've been accepted into his family and him and I have developed a really great relationship. He will be the person that our kids call...
