Today's my last day of work before the wedding. I SO do not want to be working, but am trying to be productive (mostly succeeding? partly succeeding?). Blah. So I talk to FI, who's out with his BM showing him around the area, and ask him when the GM...

So, Monday night & last night I tried calling the venue owner as I had a few questions. What comes out of it is this: 1. Venue owner is in JAMAICA and won't be back til very late on Wednesday. What? My wedding is the biggest one she's had at her B&B...

The first time I got married (and when relatives got married) the order of service (what was said by minister/us) was pretty much the same... "Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today..." and used "holy matrimony", etc. Our minister, who used to be...

So, I went and replied to a post this morning, and then did a double take... Finally got my 5th star! Didn't think I'd manage that til my wedding.

So, with less than a month to go, I'm debating if I should try to find a make-up artist. I'm not necessarily the best with makeup and even if I use cleaning products on my face, I still break out (which drives my OCD crazy when doing my makeup). I...

My cousin and I put together the boutonnieres for FI/GM as well as the bouquets for myself and my BMs. I was going to skip having corsages/boutonnieres for the parents/grandparents due to limited flowers and time to put them together (plus I've not...

So, for my wedding, I've set myself a budget of $300 for my dress (w/o alterations), though if there's a dress I *really* can't live without, I may go up to $400. Really though, I'd like to keep it between $100-$250. I've...

So, for anyone who has been married before (or if you haven't been married but already have some things decided): If there was something(s) you could go back and change about your wedding/reception, what would it/they be? I'm not counting changing...

Okay, this may be kinda dumb, but I'm feeling a little stressed today, so please bear with me. My venue is a B&B - owner bought it last year, so this spring is her first real wedding season being open. My wedding's not til Oct, but we're still a...

Hi ladies! I haven't bought a dress yet (or actually looked in stores), but what I'm envisioning is an ivory dress with either lace all over, or lace where it splits down the front, etc. I want something that seems vintage inspired. Some dress...

I know that in the end, it'll work out just fine. In the meantime, though, I'm frustrated with how much is up in the air. I know we just got engaged last month & we have til Oct, but still. I just feel like I can't get these things figured out fast...

We're trying to decide if we should go with hors d'oeuvres & cake at the reception (with ceremony/reception at a non-meal time) or having a full meal & cake. This is my 2nd wedding, FI's first. We already have the guest list as small as we can make...

Hello all! I just signed up here and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Michelle and I live in the Youngstown area of Ohio (actually 30 min south). I was married once before, but it's my FI's first marriage. We've been together for almost 2 years now...
