I have absolutely no idea what our first dance song will be. FH and I do not have a "song" and I am scrambling to pick something out. I know it will be the 2015 cliché but I do like Ed Sheeran's...

I'm a 5th grade teacher. I would like to invite my students to the wedding ceremony but not the reception ($$$$&dollar. Anyone done this? Suggestions for wording of their...

I was offered a position at an amazing company- and accepted yesterday (woo!) I'm nervous about timing- has anyone else started a new job before their wedding? They asked if I wanted to start after we...

They're really not that racy at all but I definitely don't want to bring them to a drugstore so some college kid can print them. Do you think its safer to use a company like shutterfly? or the company...

My mom was worried that I would make her be part of a "parents dance" which she explained as after the first dance the bride and groom dance to another song, while their parents also dance together. I...

My wedding is Sunday (YAY) and I'm very excited, but also am starting to get quite nervous. I'm an introvert, and also very shy, and the thought of so many people watching me is terrifying! I am...

So I was freaking out previously that it's gonna storm on my wedding day (this sat). Well it looks like the storm is happening 2 days earlier instead! Woohoo! Forecast says 68F is the high and partly...

We purposely made a small registry (approx 80 items) for our 160 person wedding because we are (politely) trying to hint that we would prefer cash. We really want to buy a house following the wedding,...

I really want to do an instrumental version (string quartet or piano) of a pop song. So far we're considering Stay With Me (sam smith), Marry Me (train), Marry You (Bruno Mars), and All of Me (John...

I see SOOOO MANY posts here about, "My mom doesn't like my X so I have to get a different one," or, "FMIL told me I have to invite 17 more people, so now we need to figure out where to get the money,"...

My reception is having a plated dinner... what is the "cut off" age of a child getting their own plate of food, vs them grazing off mom's plate? Also, how do I convey this information to my guests, in...

Okay, so I just found out that FH and I were invited to his second cousin's wedding in June. It's his mom's cousin's daughter. In 6.5 years of being together, I've never heard this girl's name, let...

So I need help. My FH has a stepdad with an extensive family (brothers, sisters and adult nieces and nephews). Most of those 2 generations were invited even though I have never met them after 3 years....

I am just outside of Boston, Mass, where we grew up - my sister has been in California for 20 years. She rarely, if ever, comes home. She came home once for the death/funeral services of my father a...
