Venting!! It's my wedding not yours!
Raven, on July 19, 2012 at 1:42 PM

Ok.. So I'm so convinced that reality shows like 4 weddings and Say Yes to the Dress give people the false impression that their opinion matters when it comes to YOUR wedding. This is almost pure...

How much did you pay to have your ring resized?
krystle d, on July 18, 2012 at 10:13 PM

I've come to the conclusion that my ring is slightly bigger than I'd like it to be. I'm afraid it'll slip off my finger one day and I think I just need it a half size smaller. I bought it off of...

pianist?
keli716, on July 15, 2012 at 5:59 PM

Was wondering what the average price was? Our pianist left it to us on what we pay her, however we don't want to under/over pay, so curious what a normal rate would be, any advice?
