FH and I postponed our wedding (due to covid) by exactly one year, meaning we are now getting married on a Sunday. This is not too problematic though as in our circle, many weddings are held on a Sunday, and we know many people plan to take the...

FH's parents and my own agreed to contribute 1/4 of the wedding costs towards our special day. My parents have thus far sent us half of what they're contributing, with more coming closer to the wedding. When FH's parents asked a few months ago when...

FH and I are automatically including significant others as 'plus ones' for our wedding and will either specifically note the name of the significant other on the invitation if we know them, or if we don't know their name (i.e. where their partner is...

Traditions vary significantly depending on where you’re from, how you were raised, what your ethnic/cultural/religious background is and so forth. What traditions and/or rules of etiquette do you think we can get rid of in 2021? For me some of these...

FH and I were planning to take a cruise for our honeymoon this December (a week after the wedding) however it doesn’t look like it will be happening. We live in Australia and our international borders are closed and now I have heard that even...

FSIL sent me a picture of a dress and I assumed that she was showing me it because she made it (she is an intermediate sewer and her talent continues to grow each time she makes something). When I said 'wow, you made that!' she revealed that it's...

FSIL asked me if her husband (FH's brother / best man) is required to give a speech and it got me thinking, who should we have give speeches? My dad has said he wants to give a speech but so far he is the only one we know that will give a speech. One...

TL;DR – I have our wedding planned in full but time is getting the better of me and I’m not sure if I change any of the details. For those who are married already, what did you realise after your wedding that you should have changed? I am trying to...

A relative of mine (“Tony”) told the family last night that he and his fiance (“Tiana”) are cancelling their destination wedding at the end of the year in lieu of a local wedding in 3 months’ time because they “are sick of waiting” and “never wanted...

I’m marrying FH this December and while we both want children, when we’ve previously discussed it, we agreed ‘not for a few years’ because we aren’t ready. The closer we get to marriage though (or perhaps just coincidentally) I’m more and more...

We are doing photos both before and after our ceremony and will have about 60-75 minutes for photos before and 60 minutes for photos after. Because we have a little bit more time before the ceremony, my plan is to take photos at our off-site...

FH and I are both atheists but I was brought up Jewish in a very secular household so I would say my family is culturally Jewish but not religiously. There is one component of a Jewish wedding that I love, the “Hora”, which, for those who aren’t...

Does anyone have any advice on how to make dress shopping a fun experience for someone who is totally out of their element? My FMIL lives in a rural area and (until recently) worked on a farm so her usual getup is jeans and a shirt. In the 6 years I...

I started organising my bachelorette last year before my wedding + bachelorette were postponed (because of COVID) and an option at the time was to do a 3 night cruise. My friends didn’t love the idea and we decided on instead doing a weekend trip to...

Whether you are a part of the bridal party and have been asked to do something ridiculous, or a wedding guest that has seen some bridezilla like behaviour, or even the bride/groom and have encountered some wacky stuff with your bridal party or...

What song did you dance to / are you dancing to at your wedding for your first dance?
