Too soon for a vow renewal?

Bridesmaid dresses
Rebecca, on October 30, 2024 at 2:09 PM

My bridesmaids are getting their dresses from Azazie. I would like them all in the same dress because my brain enjoys symmetry, but they all have wildly different body types. I created a showroom for...

20th anniversary renewal
Allie, on October 31, 2024 at 7:31 PM

Do you think it’s tacky to do a vow renewal? Our 20th anniversary will be on mardi gras day 2028. I’m thinking we could have a smallish courtyard renewal in New Orleans, with 50-100 ish close friends/...

Is it okay to not have an open bar?
Kellie&Ryan, on August 26, 2014 at 5:20 AM

I feel these days that it is almost expected of couples to have an open bar. Me and my FH have decided not to because its just too expensive. Maybe we'll do a toonie bar or give everyone 2 drink...

Is it ok to send photographer wedding photo ideas?
nimzz, on January 15, 2016 at 5:14 PM

My fiance and I aren't great at taking pictures, so I feel we need practice with poses and test what we like. We also are taking the pics after the ceremony, so we don't have much time to start...
