Famous person at wedding
Bride2B, on February 10, 2018 at 4:43 AM

I was wondering if anyone has actually had a famous (or at least semi famous) person attend their wedding. Did it take away a lot of attention from the couple?

Too many guests
Aimee, on February 11, 2018 at 6:02 PM

Issue With Florist and Communication
PrettyinPink, on February 9, 2018 at 10:51 AM

I seem to have the worst attitude about this wedding and the worst luck. Once my florist had my deposit, she became very blunt with me and seems annoyed by my questions. I have no one to help me since...

Kids in Wedding but not at Reception!
Private User, on February 4, 2015 at 5:48 PM

The biggest disagreement between my fiance and I is kids in the wedding. We don't agree on whose kids should be in the wedding (cousins vs. siblings). So, as a solution we decided to ask all of our...

Unwanted guest (sorry it’s long)
xRApril, on February 11, 2018 at 8:16 AM

So I work with this woman who is about 10 years older than me. She’s one of those types of people that has to be right about everything. Can’t even say the sky is blue without being told why I’m wrong...

Morrison, on February 9, 2018 at 6:35 PM

Our bartender mentioned it is increasingly common to do toasts w/ drink in hand rather than provide sparkling/champagne for it, and that this is a good way to cut costs and waste. We are otherwise...
