Fresh Flowers versus Silk Flowers?
chloe, on September 7, 2011 at 9:23 PM

I want to have my wedding reception with silk flowers instead of fresh ones because they are so much cheaper. Has anyone ever seen bouquet with silk flowers? Do they look tacky?

The New Mrs. B, on November 19, 2012 at 7:56 PM

NWR: Calling someone the wrong name on purpose?
BunBuns, on November 14, 2012 at 8:52 PM

I have a coworker who purposely calls me the wrong name, even though he clearly knows what my actual name is. Others who work with us constantly correct him. I heard him tell someone last week that he...

We've been discussing the processional and I've been thinking my FH actually would walk down the aisle first. Everyone argues he does not walk down the aisle and just kind of appears there. But, we...

Dont want gift registry but rather monetary donations
Anya, on September 20, 2011 at 2:09 PM

Hi, my fiance and I have decided that instead of gifts we prefer monetary funds. We have all that is needed for the house. What do you think? What is the best way to word this in the invite?
