2931 days agoI want to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy at our wedding. My mother will be 92 and is super thin. Of course, super thin comes with a bony behind. My FHs father is a large man. He's over 6'4" from what I can tell and is fairly overweight....

2932 days agoI was thinking of hiring a DJ for our wedding, but my sweetheart has me second guessing myself. He says he really dislikes dancing, but is willing to "sway back and forth" if I want music. I offered dance lessons, but he says that he's received...

2938 days agoI still have so much to do. I need to book the officiant, the dj and the ceremony music. I also need to make a decision about the cake, but honestly that can be put off for some time. The main thing I have been dragging my feet on is sending out the...

2939 days agoMy FH says we don't need favors because our gift is the meal and entertainment, but he's willing to let me do whatever I want. I would love to give our guests nice favors to thank them for coming. That being said, I've rarely taken the favors from...

2939 days agoI've always said I want a simple old-fashioned wedding and that I don't want a Pinterest perfect wedding that has signs vomited everywhere and cuteness in every corner. And then I came across these when I was researching enamel camping cups. I feel...

2939 days agoI love getting pedicures, but never get my nails done because I am a nurse. Fake nails are definitely not allowed due to infection control and if we get a teeny chip in any nail polish, it has to come off. So I know nothing about nails. I'll be...

2939 days agoIf this is a repeat, I apologize. WW hiccupped when I tried to post it the first time and I don't think it went through. I'm doing DIY flowers from either Sams/Costco or Fifty flowers. I'm not a professional photographer and obviously, that is a...

2945 days agoI am absolutely in love with these carved little birds for my cake topper. I love that I can keep them on my dresser or window sill and enjoy them every day and then put them on my anniversary cake each year. Do you like them more with or without the...

2945 days agoMy FH is a nature enthusiast. He works for the Dept of Natural Resources and loves being outside. He avoids going into heavily populated areas for long periods of time. For example, I probably could get him to go with me to NYC, but after 1-2 days he...

2945 days agoI originally was sold on having my hair up and possibly in dutch braid crown. My fh loves my ringlets when my hair is down, but ultimately doesn't care how I want to look on my wedding day because he feels it's "my" day. I love the back of my dress...

2945 days agoMy venue is two levels. The main level is where the ceremony will be held and is an open room with two fireplaces and 10 rocking chairs. There are also 2 couches that sit 3-4 and another 4 chairs. Immediately off this room is an upper-level covered...

2945 days agoI want a brunch wedding, but we can't get into the venue until 10am. I'm trying to keep things pretty basic, but am wondering how late I can make my brunch wedding? We were originally thinking 11:45 wedding and a brunch immediately following. Can we...

2949 days agoI priced out a buttercream cake at Publix. My reception will have a Max of 70 people. The cake came to $370 including delivery. I want a very simple cake but wanted to price out a tiered cake. My local bakery who makes great cakes were...

2956 days agoThere have been some things I have been really struggling with. 1) Do I include my college friends (I am 50) when my venue is quite small and several of them are obviously hiding me from their Facebook feed due to our political differences when I...

2972 days agoDo you ever feel like the hours you put into researching and deciding on teeny details are all for nothing? I keep trying to remember the weddings I have attended and to be honest, I remember so very little about them. Seriously. I attended a wedding...
