Nervous about vows
Alex, on November 8, 2014 at 5:22 PM

I do not like public speaking and really do not want 100 people to hear me say my vows to the love of my life. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you have someone turn you down when you asked them to stand up in your Wedding?
soontobeamrs, on November 7, 2014 at 12:56 PM

If you did, what was their reason and how did you handle the rejection? Did it change your relationship?

How Many Wine Varieties?
Pancakes, on November 8, 2014 at 7:58 AM

Not sure how many types of wine to get. Just 1 white and 1 red? I found a Malbec that I like because it's a sweeter red. So I was thinking of also adding a couple bottles of those. Thoughts? Thanks! ...

Macksgirl, on November 5, 2014 at 2:21 PM

I am in the process of finding the perfect Christmas Card. Would it be tacky if I used a picture from our wedding? I am really going back and forth on this. I think it would be nice because everyone I...

Is there a time limit to change your name after you are married?
Lady Firefly, on November 4, 2014 at 12:41 PM

I was told that there is no time limit unless its for insurance purposes for work but I do not need to do that. Is there a time frame so you do not have to pay a fee?

Anyone have any tips for wearing your e-ring with gloves
Kemmie, on November 4, 2014 at 10:37 AM

It's november and it's getting chillier here in Canada. I'm worried I will get my ring caught or fluff under the prongs when I start wearing gloves and mittens. How do you avoid that?
