586 days agoI can't believe we've been married a week already! Our wedding day was amazing and even though things weren't perfect everything was great. The setbacks: The guys realized as they were getting dressed that my brother's suit was gray instead of navy....

597 days agoWe get married this Saturday and are looking at a high in the mid 50s and lows in the mid-high 30s. Since my fiancè's grandma was apparently surprised our ceremony will be outdoors even though she's known this for years, I'm now worried about people...

611 days agoI'm working on the signs for our wedding and so far have one for cupcake flavors (ours aren't basic, easy to determine flavors), memorial table, guest book, unplugged ceremony, cards & gifts... We're doing escort cards so we don't need a seating...

625 days agoWe invited 167 people knowing for sure that 10-12 would decline, which put us around 155. Our venue says it can hold 200, but we've been there before for a wedding that had 175 and it was PACKED, so we didn't want to invite over 150 if possible. We...

644 days agoIs it weird to not have toasts or speeches other than us just thanking everyone for coming? I don't really want to have any and my fiancé doesn't care what happens, but his mom is talking about how sad it is that we're not planning on doing them. Our...

659 days agoI haven't been on here in forever (got a new job and life is crazy busy) but I'm super happy with how our invites turned out and I have to show people!! I created everything in Adobe and got them printed with Zazzle. They printed the main invites at...

820 days agoI originally didn't want a veil at all, but as others have said, I'd hate to regret not wearing one in the end. The main problem is that I just hate the way they look and I don't want to completely cover my hair since that's one of FH's favorite...

829 days agoWe went Saturday to get our engagement photos taken and she already has some of them done!! It was absolutely FREEZING out (like 14° high for the day) and FH was shivering the entire time but we made it work lol. I am in love and she even managed to...

830 days agoWe have a two year engagement and during the last nearly 1.5 years we have had so many deaths and divorces that have affected our guest list. For example, we've both lost grandparents who we never imagined would miss our day and my fiancé's aunt and...

861 days agoWe planned on setting up a hotel block for our wedding because it's a "destination" wedding for everyone whether they need to drive a couple hours or take a plane. However, when my fiancé looked into booking the room blocks he noticed that the cost...

912 days agoMy grandpa passed away last summer from a battle with cancer and it's been super hard on all of us. We only found out in May and were told we would at least have one last holiday season with him, only to lose him in July. Around 6 months after he...

927 days agoSo originally I didn't care at all about what colors my mom or my MIL were going to wear for our wedding. I had no clue that was something people even did until I saw some posts on here. Cue both mothers pestering me needing to know what colors they...

970 days agoMy fiancé is 6'3" with a 29 inch waist. He hates suits that aren't ultra slim fit because most others just don't fit his body great, even when they're tailored. His groomsmen have differing body types. A couple need big & tall, another is also...

1011 days agoOkay some backstory, so I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding for a childhood friend of mine and so far everything involving actually needing the bridesmaids to get along has been a disaster. We've essentially split into two groups of similar-minded people...

1029 days agoSo this isn't even an actual big deal and I'm aware it's super petty lol, so take this complaint with a grain of salt. We just got an invitation in the mail to a wedding for some friends. Both FH and I are friends with these people, we normally only...

1045 days agoOkay, so I still have over a year to plan, but I'm trying to get as much done sooner rather than later because we have super busy summers as it is and I know next summer will be insane trying to button things up for our October wedding. Plus my...
