Activity for Rebecca

For those interested in bar costs: I just got the final bill from the reception vendor. We had a completely open bar on New Years Eve that ran 6pm-1am. The final cost was $3500 incl tax and gratuity for just over 100 guests.

My grandma was very generous and decided since she couldn't make it to the wedding and is too old to travel she would give her travel budget to us as a present. She gave us $1000, some of which we will use towards a honeymoon/visit her in New...

Kicking myself for not buying another roll of permanent stamps when I bought them for invitations. Canada Post has just announced their prices are going from 63 cents to 85 cents, or $1 if bought individually. That will keep me from taking...

How many people did or are planning on including hymns/singing in their ceremony? Or was it just readings/vows/talking?

I've narrowed it down to: Open Arms - Journey Can't Help Falling in Love with You - Michael Buble This Is Where I Belong - Bryan Adams Votes? I really want to do a waltz, and it's harder than I thought it would be finding good music in 3.

Trying to decide what kind of candles to use in centrepieces. What did people who used tealights do - did you have someone go around and replace them when they burnt out, or is it better to just use a bigger, longer lasting candle?

BM who received the wrong dress? Turns out it was just inside out. OMG way to freak me out over nothing!! At times like this I really wish we were in the same city, because all I had to go on was what she told me. At least it's sorted out, but AGH!

I have 4 BMs, 3 of whom ordered and got their dresses in fine. The 4th dress just came in and is not the right dress! It's some two-tone thing that is not what everyone else got. Long talks with customer service coming up...yay. Just hope a...

So FH and I have an ongoing argument about whether or not to have flower girl or girls. He thinks all weddings should have them because they're cute. I think only if they have a close relationship. (If we choose yes it will be his mom's cousin's...

So my sister is making my cake. 4 tiers, with a veggie and cheese theme. Carrot cake with basic cream cheese frosting between layers Pumpkin Spice cake Beetroot Chocolate cake with choc cream cheese icing Maple Parsnip cake with maple cream cheese...

I always got shocked looks when I said I'd never been to a wedding (I have now been to 1!). It also makes planning difficult because I have almost no comparisons on how things can be done. So how many have you been to, and do you think it has helped...

So obviously I'm getting married mid-winter, lots of snow hopefully, although the -40C shouldn't arrive until January. I've got my indoor shoes but what do I do for outdoor pics and getting to and from places? Did you have nice boots, or just wear...
