If you've been a bridesmaid--how long did it actually take you to put on your dress & shoes? As a bride, how long did it take you for your dress? I'm trying to sort out a detailed timeline, especially for getting ready, & have been getting...

I've really been letting my anxiety get the better of me this week while trying to choose a venue--I'd love to hear about all of your experiences with Friday weddings, mid-November weddings, and general venue hunting! Over the past few weeks, my...

Has anyone proposed back to their partner after they proposed to you? It's something I've always loved the idea of and am strongly considering, but the exact circumstances of my relationship are making me hesitate. I would love some inspiration from...
