Ugly crying...
JaimeLeigh, on August 4, 2016 at 7:23 PM

I'm a crier. I cry at EVERYTHING. I cry looking at cute puppies. Are there any other super emotional brides out there? If you're already married, how did you deal with this? Did you just have your MUA...

Photographer Not responding to emails?
Private User, on August 3, 2016 at 6:20 AM

Hey guys, I attempted to hire a photograper via emails recently. But they will only respond if I call their office (and usually the assistant makes up an excuse. I am getting fed up because I emailed...

Shelby, on August 2, 2016 at 8:43 PM

Hi there, I feel stupid asking this...but it's totally normal to completely butt heads with your mom during planning, right? I feel like no matter what I choose, she hates it - and she lets me know...

Anyone ever heard of $400 wedding photography?
Cassandra, on October 11, 2014 at 7:47 PM

I just have to ask because this has been bugging me. It'd be especially great to hear from the photographers around here. My fiance's brother (who is a known bullshitter in the first place) had some...

Childless weddings???
Savanah, on August 2, 2016 at 6:30 AM

So I was considering have a childless ceremony and reception. It was just a thought due to the behavior of kids I've previously attended weddings at. I don't have kids yet so I'm not sure how people...

Kids at bridal shower?
Yourlilfig, on April 16, 2016 at 8:50 PM

Last year I was informed what an "idiot" I was for not knowing that the flower girl "always" attends the bridal shower. It turned into a family disaster and grudges are still held (even though the...

Is there a cut off age for the ring bearer and flower girl?
Mrs._S, on April 12, 2016 at 10:34 PM

Wasn't sure if this was asked just yet? I know of two young girls to be flower girls that are sisters but when my FH and I get married the oldest will be 12.
