Activity for Chris

I thought I knew so much about wedding planning, but did I ever get schooled. Looking back, there are some things I would have done differently. Even though everything turned out well, things could have gone better. I would have... - Spent less on...

My RSVP date was April 24th, which gave me a week's buffer to track people down before my numbers were due and the hotel block would be closed. On April 25th, we had 52/88 response cards missing. I was angry, even thought I knew to expect it. What I...

When someone is trolling a thread, what motivates you to respond? Why makes you stay away? For me, it depends on a couple of things. If I am really bored, I will engage. If there is a chance they aren't really trolling but are being unintentionally...

I guess it is a good problem to have. At first it seemed my family from out of the country wouldn't be able to make it because they were having trouble getting their visas. Well, this week I found out all were approved. YAH! Only problem is that my...

I think I'm going to scream. My wonderful FH included some elderly family members that aren't in the best of health. I didn't think it was a good idea. His response: "Don't worry, they will probably decline, but I want them to know they were wanted."...

My reception venue is in a downtown area, so parking is at a premium. Therefore, I was relieved to see in my wedding package "discounted parking at X structures". I ask my event planner for the venue how much would parking end up being. He says about...

So, we are going to have about 20-30 people at the rehearsal dinner. Originally, my family from Trinidad had planned on cooking traditional dishes, but some are still have issues getting their visas. I don't want the family that can make it to be...

I've been following the "Dollar Dance" thread, and it got me thinking about wedding traditions in general. Which wedding traditions did you holding fast to, and which did you decide not to do? How did you decide which tradition was (not) worth...

My goal was modest. I only wanted to lose about 5lbs so I didn't need to wear shapewear under my dress. I thought it would be easy because I've been training for my 2nd Dan test in April. Sadly, I injured my right shoulder last month and my left...

I always thought that I'd be the relaxed kind of bride that didn't get hung up over shades of off-white and font sizes. I thought that ladies that did so were crazy and I would never be THAT irrational being. Well, wedding planning makes you CAF. I...

I'll be honest, I'm having serious heartburn about the Honeymoon. I don't know if I'm getting a good deal or if I'm getting taken. We're looking at doing either a Caribbean cruise or an all-inclusive in the DR. It seems we will be spending somewhere...

Our venue has a 150 person max. I gave DH 5 spots from my half of the list to help him since his family is larger than mine. In turn, he decided to exclude some cousins he didn't speak to. He knew that would cause drama, but he didn't want to invite...

VEGAS!! We are going the first week of March! YEAH! I'm so excited. I've never been before and I want to do everything. Me and my MOH will be there for five days. Another bride-to-be will be joining us on Day 3. My MOH has a time share in Vegas, so...
