Okay ladies and gents I have a bit of a conundrum that I'm hoping you can help me figure out. My fiance and I are of the mindset that we do not need to have a limo just sit around for us racking up OT...

I'm curious to know the right way in handling my FH's half-sister texting him today. She asked if her daughter (who's 19) can bring her college bf to the wedding (someone neither of us have met). We...

Hi ladies, Sorry for the double posting. Because the wedding is on a Sunday night, my stepmom suggested a half hour cocktail hour (so more like cocktail half-hour). That feels weird and rushed to me,...
