Activity for Susanna

My fiance and I went to his cousin's wedding 2 years ago. We both loved her venue and thought it was just gorgeous. Everything tasted good and it's a great venue for a small wedding. My question is, would it be tacky to use the same venue?

Did you ask family members from either side for help in paying for your wedding? Whether it be venue cost, catering, flowers. How did you go about asking? Do you feel bad for asking?

Have any brides here used Anomalie to design your wedding dress? If you did, were you happy with how your dress came out and was it worth it? Same questions for any brides who might have used Etsy to find their dress.

Did you or will you have an engagement party? Why or why not?

Any other brides here wanting to lose weight before they get married? How long are you giving yourself to lose the weight? What's your goal? What made you decide you wanted to lose weight? Do you have any tips? Words of encouragement?

Have any couples here just decided to get married at city hall and have a nice reception instead of a huge ceremony and reception? Are you happy with your decision? Why/why not?
