Did you go with WW, The Knot, or another website, or... did you make your own, for those of you who are savvy at programming? What's the reason you went with whatever you did? (I don't want this to turn into a "bash the knot" thread; I really just...

So I love fall! :-D It's my favorite, aside from Christmas, in terms of food, atmosphere, and, of course, decorating! I've already put up my fall decorations--but not Halloween yet--and am about to go to the craft store to get more supplies to make...

So we're dead-stuck between these two venues, and we're supposed to have the answer by this Monday. Has anyone here had any experience with either of these places? Our biggest issue is that the Amway Grand has, by far, the better room, yet they...

I am sooo excited and relieved; I went to 6 shops overall and tried on probably 200 dresses before I decided! I was really beginning to freak out a little. I can't post photos right now, as I'm on FI's laptop, but I posted the same photos in this...

Okay, so I'm in the USA now, and we've been doing wedding stuff. Anyway, today we went dress shopping; it's the only day we had scheduled, due to not having very much time at all to do everything, and my bridesmaids being able to only go on weekends....

It seems like it should be a shorter period of time! This week is DRAGGING by! We're about to fly to my parents' home, on the other side of the world, to start actually planning this shindig! I'm kind of freaking out, because so far, I've only been...

We want to try and do two shops in one day, but we can only start at noon or 1 pm, and there's about an hour or an hour and a half's worth of distance between the two. I don't know when the second shop closes (of course I will call). How much time...

I'm looking at the reviews, but am feeling overwhelmed. We're looking for a few places in both Grand Rapids and Detroit. (We aren't sure where our venue is yet.) I want that awesome, traditional wedding cake that is mysteriously so much...

If so, what was it like? Who planned it? What did you wear? My mom is planning ours; apparently it's going to be drinks and hors d'ourves, on a Sunday evening. I'm not sure what to wear, but I know I don't want it to be white. Hm. Maybe I'll wear...

So first of all, yes. I realize that we are fortunate to be in the position to be able to hire a cleaning lady, whether or not she's any good. All that being said.... -.- So apparently she thinks it's acceptable to take nasty, mucky dishes out of the...

Hey everyone, So as some of you may remember, FI and I are flying into MI for only a few weeks, to visit our venue shortlist, do tastings, find my dress, blah de blah. Well, this particular venue is NOT responding! A month or two ago I did get ahold...

So I'm supposed to be on the phone with our venue shortlist right now... instead, at the moment, I'm eating leftover mashed potatoes and trying REALLY HARD to stay away from that rogue "carat" thread. x-P What are you doing right now? What are you...
