2991 days agoHi all, FH and I live in Germany (he's German, I'm Australian) and while I think pre-marital counselling would be valuable I think FH would be VERY against going and involving a third party in our relationship. Also, having asked my good friend...

3095 days agoI always dreamed of the "typical" large wedding, probably mostly because that's all I've ever known. FH and I have decided to have a really small town hall wedding and only invite immediate family, and just go for lunch afterwards. I'm fine with that...

3096 days agoI didn't even know this was a thing. My FSIL offered that I could wear her garter. I was emailing with my Mum the other day and mentioned it and that I didn't even want to wear one, and she wrote back "funny you should mention it, I just asked my...

3135 days agoWe're having a small wedding just with our immediate family (8 guests (plus 1 toddler)). Should we make invitations? I think FH would think it's silly but it might be nice to have as a keepsake? Also, language problems: my parents are Australian,...
