Young woman in her mid-20's engaged to a soon to be out of the military man. We survived his bootcamp, training, and an 11 month deployment overseas while I was planning our wedding on my own back in the states. I believe we can get through anything. I'm someone who doesn't go with etiquette and instead goes with what's best for us and our guests.

Not all rules apply to every person's wedding so don't be afraid to break some for just ONE day of your life.

Break the Ice
We were hoping to hear what you had to say! You've broken the ice by sharing your thoughts in your very first discussion. We can't wait to see where the conversation goes.
I started a discussion
2059 days agoSo originally my fiance and I agreed a cash bar would be the best choice for the reception. We're paying for the wedding ourselves with barely any help from family so we can't afford an open or tab bar. But the more I think about it the more I worry....
