I love them. The cheapest I've found (in Tampa, Fl) is around $700 for 3 or 4 hours. I'm trying to find a way to rationalize getting one, but as much as I love them, I think it's going to be a no-can-do.

I'm looking for a DJ and I've seen prices from 600 - 1000. How much is about average for a good DJ (not including lights) for a 4 hour reception?

What are you doing to personalize your wedding or make it truly unique? I feel like so much of my wedding has been done before - tell me what makes yours special.

What do you think of letting the MOH have a different dress from the rest of the BMs? Has anyone done it and have pics?

I have a solitaire diamond engagement ring but I think I wan to do something more unique for my band. I was thinking of one of those bands with the two stones on each side that fit around the solitaire (what are they called?) but with different...

My FH wants to have a tux with tails when we get married. The problem with this: 1) He's only 5"8 and his BM is only 5"6. I'm worried it will look like they are playing dress up in their too big dad's tux. 2) I've never seen anyone look good in tails...

Does anyone know how to do it? My sister just started it and said that she saved 50% ($60) off of her weekly grocery bill. She's using the money she saves on her honeymoon. I'm thinking of starting it, but I don't know how. She lives across...

I have a 10K budget and am trying to find ways to cut corners without compromising the integrity/vision of my wedding. I am also extremely creative and crafty. So I'm thinking of creating my own wedding album instead of buying it from the...

Our date is November 17th, 2012. On Nov. 17th it'll be exactly one year until our wedding! I'm thinking of throwing a party and inviting all our friends. Is anyone else doing this?

I'm thinking of not saving the top tier of my cake for the 1 yr anniversary. I just can't imagine that frozen red velvet cake will be good a year later. I'd much rather enjoy it on my wedding day. What do you think? Has anyone out there tried it...

One of my bridesmaids works in a bakery and has offered to make my cake as her wedding gift to me. She is incredibly talented in everything she touches, so of coarse I said yes! We are having a 3 tier cake and she said she can make every layer a...

My aunt has offered to buy me a year subscription to any bridal magazine that I want, but I don't know which one to choose. It seems like most of them are just made of up adds. Ideally, I want a magazine that talks about real weddings, tricks to...

So, I've had my heart set on a live band for as long as I can remember. I love going out and listening to live music and thought to share that passion at my wedding. I've found a great band that plays a mixture of genres from Tom Petty and the...
