So my bridesmaids knew that they were supposed to be getting their deposit for the makeup artist to me over a month ago. No one has yet to get their money to me. I told the makeup artist, I'm at the point where I'm not worrying about anyone else's...

Ok, so the venue we put the deposit down holds 250 downstairs and 60-80 upstairs. I was trying to avoid using the upstairs altogether being that the wedding party would be coming from down the stairs and then walking down the aisle. Well, this has...

Where are you in your planning?

Is it really necessary? We have 340 guests invited. I know that besides immediate family, I do want a few reserved tables.

So the place I got my dress from offers a payment plan. I am paying on my dress, veil, and jewelry at the moment. At this point, half of the total price has been paid. Well yesterday I found out from the designer company of the dress I got, that the...

Ok so I was planning on sending out the save the dates next month, but my mom seems to think that I should wait until January to send them out. What do you think?

When should we do our engagement pictures? We want to send out save the dates.

We meet with the priest in an hour and a half to see if we're going to be able to get married in the Catholic church. I hope it all goes well and that we will be able to do it. That has always been my dream. I'll update after the meeting.

How did your first meeting with the priest go? What did you discuss? We're having our first meeting with the priest on Wednesday at 9am. I'm super nervous, and probably for nothing. FH has been married twice before so the priest wanted to meet with...

I know that my wedding is still over 2 years away, but in searching for the reception venue we need to at least have some sort of idea as to how many guests we will be expecting. FH has yet to start working on a guest list. Both of our families are...

Are there any Catholic Brides? I know that my wedding is still a good while away, but honestly, the whole idea about going through FOCCUS and/or Engaged Encounter really terrifies me for some reason.
