Disappointed in Family /Vent
Sylphier, on May 3, 2017 at 9:10 PM

How many hours is your whole wedding ?
Camila , on May 3, 2017 at 10:07 AM

We finally decided on a venue but we have to pay by the hour, so I'm not sure how many we need. The setup and tear down has to be included as well. This is what I have so far , does this look ok ?...

Marrying the family?
Sharonda, on May 2, 2017 at 10:59 PM

I love him but I don't like his family. When you marry one you marry there family as well. Should I still get married if for the rest of my life I'll be married to his family as well?
