I'm home this morning and am catching an episode of Four Weddings. One couple had a lovely venue, however, they served only pizza and pop. Two flavors of pop. No ice that I could see. So, what...
Dearest WW, I defer to your advice and opinions yet again. While FH and I are still brainstorming options for the ceremony (DW versus not essentially), I have always been sure I will have a reception...
I'm having my Goddaughter be my flower girl and she just turned 1 on Sept 4th. Any ideas as to what she could hold? I'm not having petals or a basket (she'd likely eat the petals). I was thinking...
Ugh. I've posted about my monster-in-law before. I'm getting married next Saturday and she just exploded again, this time because I told her teenage daughter that her boyfriends parents weren't...
I have been living with my partner for almost 2 years. He is from the U.K & I'm from the US. we both moved to Asia for his job. So far I have been living here under a tourist visa. Now he received a...
To preface: my boyfriend "Alex" and I were first together a few years ago and during this time, I have met the bride, Sarah. Alex and I had broken up for a few years but have since gotten back...
My best friend lives in South Carolina and I've asked her to be one of my bridesmaids which she has excitedly said yes to. Everything was really exciting at first but now it's a little disappointing...
Hey, this is not jj but her sister.( I make an account tomorrow for my self). I just want to ask for short advice. How would you react, and what would you say? Yesterday night we went for dinner with...
A girlfriend/BM of mines, that is also engaged, told me I am not supposed to take my engagement ring off EVER that its bad luck. She said she's been camping, swimming, showers, cleans house and even...
I'm having 2 maids of honor and I'm about to ask the first one, but I don't know how to ask her and tell her she's a co-MOH? I'm sure she'll be fine with it, but I just don't know if I say "So I'm...
Morning All, my FH has decided (last minute) that we need to do a unity ceremony as part of our wedding. I tried telling him that our marriage is one big unity ceremony but he wasn't swayed. So we...
I'm unsure of how much to tip the event coordinator at the hotel. I read somewhere between $200-$500. She has helped us somewhat but not entirely. She came on half-way through the...
We’ve decided to do cupcakes for the wedding. With a guest list of 150 people, how many cupcakes should we get?
So I am less that two weeks out. Just found out that 9 guests are not attending. Each has their own excuses and that's fine. They keep asking how much their plate cost is. I honestly think that that's...
I've read that people put the time 15-30 minutes early on their invitation so guests do not come in as the ceremony is starting. If I have a 2:30 ceremony, would you find it strange to read 2:15 on an...
I plan on giving my bridesmaids sunflower bouquets so does this mean it is only "right" for us to do the same for the groomsmen? Give them the bout to wear because the bridesmaids have flowers? My FH...
Hi! So, I only have three vendors who will need a tip but I was thinking of putting the money in an envelope with a simple card thanking them for their services and all that. However, for some reason,...
I have 5 bridesmaids in 5 different color dresses. 3 of them, including MOH are in shades of purple (lilac, wisteria, and plum) and 2 including FSIL in shades of grey (desert grey and pewter). The...
Hi All, I have a very small group of friends - two from school, two from college - these girls have been through a lot with me, including me moving abroad for three years. Since being back in the UK,...
So our wedding was supposed to take place 9/16, but had to be postponed because of hurricane Irma. Our church got power two days before the wedding, but the A/C did not work. It is impossible to have...
