Asking MOH or Best Man to give a toast?
CoffeeNColor, on April 6, 2017 at 8:36 PM

HappilyHauser, on April 5, 2017 at 10:22 PM

I really want to have my nephew as our ring bearer. The problem is, he will be a week shy of 1 year old at our wedding, so he won't be walking yet. I know the most obvious way to have him go down the...

Is negotiating a thing?

Money is everything! It's so frustrating looking at vendors that increase their prices just in one month from $100s to $1000s. Is it rude to negotiate prices with vendors? Im talking...
