First time bride with an encore wedding fiance. We're both into boating, so we're having a nautical wedding at the yacht club (where we met). He proposed to me while on the way back from a fishing trip, so I was wearing fishing waders and was covered in fish slime when he proposed! (How romantic!)

2441 days agoAHHH! I'm going nuts on this! (I don't have a coordinator, so I have no idea how things are supposed to go). So far, I have planned out the timeline to go from the minute I wake up to the end of the day. Our ceremony is at 1:00pm, and we will not...

2456 days agoSo, one of my BMs dropped out(husband will be having surgery that weekend, so a pass there) and another can’t get additional time off. So it’s just me, my maid of honor, and one other person for the party. I keep telling my maid of honor that it’s...

2462 days agoI just found out that one of my bridesmaids cannot attend the wedding because her husband has a medical issue. I honestly don’t have anybody else who could fill in. (I have no siblings and don’t have a big group of friends). Anyways that we can make...

2465 days agoSo, I’m just not feeling the whole hair and makeup thing. My wedding is in a little over 2 months, and I haven’t even looked at pictures or selected a trial. My mom keeps telling me that I have to look my best and that I should have professional make...

2466 days agoSo, I will have 4 neurotypical kids (all between 7 and 9) at the wedding reception, and I plan to get them "kids favor boxes" to keep them busy during the reception (wedding activity book, cookie favor, lego pack etc). One of my bridesmaids has a 12...

2470 days agoSo, I am highly allergic to pollen--my eyes water, I sneeze, and sometimes, I can wheeze as well. For this reason, I was planning to get artificial flowers for everyone, bridal party and groomsmen included, and also keep floral decor to a minimum. I...

2484 days agoI am a bit confused. According to a lot of what I’ve read on here, you are not supposed to include registry information your wedding invitation; then what is the point of making a registry? I set up a honey fund registr, but how will anyone ever find...

2494 days agoSo, we have invited about 135 people to the wedding, of which, we know of 2 who can't come for certain and about 4-6 "maybes." In planning for the cake and the catering numbers, is it better to go up (and say we expect 150), go down (say we expect...
