I had an event venue who waived their fees but since I’m cancelling 17 days before the event, they are making me pay a cancellation fee. Is this ok? I do not have any contract with them whatsoever....
Between my fiance and I we have a fairly long list of family members we’ve lost. I have none of my grandparents out of 4, he only has 1 living out of 4, and that’s only the grandparents. Anyway, a few...

So, it’s going to be a very small guest list anyways. A courthouse ceremony and restaurant reception after. Out of 19 guests I only have 3. My mom, stepdad and sister. He has his entire family and...
As of right now, we have a grand entrance into the reception planned after our photos followed immediately by our first dance. The only other dance we have planned is a dance with my kids, where my FH...
Take a short break from planning and think about the weddings you've attended. When you're a guest, do you look for the guest book? Do you get stuck thinking of what to say? Do you tend to write a...
