Ok, so my Fiancé is having his sister as his best man, which I totally love! However, we are having just a bit of trouble coming up with what to refer to her as. She doesn't like Best Girl or Best...

I know this question has been asked a million times, but I would like to do something VERY special for my mom and FMIL. They are paying for our wedding and everything that they have done and are doing...

I am in the process of getting almost everything squared away will planning but am having a hard time with some appointments being at 6 p.m. or on the weekends. I try to work around my work schedule...

Yeah... hate them. Can't really blame it on the photographer. FH looks pretty awesome in them. I've never been a photogenic person and this was a sad reality check. I have 4 months to learn how to...

I am truly sorry, but FH and I just came back from a wedding tonight that was a disaster. If you can not afford to give your guest food and drink, you should not have a wedding. As a guest it is so...

For all of those still stuck on doing a cash bar... Go to a party or a wedding as a guest with a cash bar and see how you feel. Just went to my cousins sweet 16 last night and my notoriously cheap...
