Angelique, on March 15, 2022 at 12:05 AM

Hi everyone, so sorry I just need to get this off my chest. My wedding was 3 weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about how much I hated it. I planned for over a year and had everything set for it to...

I need help with trying to figure out what all is to be said in the script for the ceremony. My uncle is going to be our officiant. But he's not the best public speaker so we are trying to help him...

Brides with tattoos
Michelle, on February 22, 2022 at 6:08 PM

Are you having them on full display that are not covered by your dress? Or will you be covering with makeup? Also if you have any bridesmaids with visible tattoos, are you letting them have them on...

Have i taken on too much?
katiekies, on February 23, 2022 at 3:32 AM

I started a new job in September 2021, then applied for and received a "promotion" (of sorts) in January 2022. Early February: I applied to college, hoping to take a course or two this Spring to work...

Hey ya'll, Looking for some ideas! I love the idea of the matching robes for getting ready for the bridal party. I was in three weddings this past year and they really came in handy in terms of not...

Dessert Tables
Ashley, on February 21, 2022 at 3:56 PM

I've been going back and forth on what to do for desserts for our day. Neither of us really like cake but will be asking his grandma to make a VERY small cake for just the two of us to cut. We thought...

Hi! My fiancé and I have only been engaged for a couple weeks and haven't discussed major wedding details yet (just budget and guest size). Haven't announced our engagement yet either - I'm in the...

What Sold You On Your Venue?
Lisa, on February 2, 2022 at 1:04 PM

It's been a while since I've seen a venue thread, so I figured I'd start one! What about your venue made you want to book it? Does it have a beautiful ceremony spot among the trees? Or an elegant...

Who pays for wedding party attire?
katiekies, on February 20, 2022 at 12:02 AM

I've read some books/website that say it is up to the bride/groom to pay for the dresses/tuxes of the wedding party, but other sources say it's up to each individual to pay for their own attire ... I...

katiekies, on February 19, 2022 at 11:51 PM

I'm super nervous about shopping for a wedding dress. I've always been on the chubby side, and never been a confident clothes shopper because of it ... although, I have been losing weight since...

Alternatives to flowers?
katiekies, on February 20, 2022 at 12:42 AM

One of the first things I told my fiancé when we got together was "never buy me flowers" - I don't hate flowers, but I believe they should stay in nature, and I just don't want them to die. So I've...

Looking for my tribe... small, non-traditional, small budget weddings.
Shannon, on October 10, 2021 at 3:57 PM

I feel so out of place in most of these forums. I'm looking for my tribe to discuss planning ideas. I'm not so concerned about typical wedding things or what the majority considers the right way to do...

Wedding vendors and not sending prices
Ethan, on February 10, 2022 at 4:39 PM

Has anyone else been SO frustrated about vendors not sending pricing when requested? Not to mention when you actually get to the venue and they have a luandry list of hidden fees even if they sent you...

Partner's Input
Lunajay, on February 12, 2022 at 5:01 PM

Of course it's not just our day but it's our partner's day as well. If your partner is anything like mine, you have planned most of the wedding yourself, with them saying " you decided it's your day"...

Kids at Wedding
Emily, on February 14, 2022 at 2:00 PM

So originally I didn’t mind the idea of having kids at our wedding - possibly unpopular opinion but I think it’s a fun addition to have kids running and dancing around! We addressed save the dates...

When did you realise you were in love with your now-fiance/ee?
Rosie, on February 14, 2022 at 5:53 PM

It's the week of love, y'all! Which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and curious to know - when was the moment you realised you were in love with your spouse? In my experience, it's usually not...

Twinsiesmum, on February 17, 2022 at 7:06 PM

I’m not sure what I really want to do to keep my guest safe. Is anyone requiring Covid test before the wedding? If so how are you tracking the results? I just want everyone to be as safe as possible....
