So I've had my time line done, but think I might have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle. Our photographer recommended 1.5 hours after the ceremony, and I only budgeted an hour. 4:30PM - Ceremony (can't be moved). Ceremony should be 15 - 20 minutes....

My FSIL is pregnant, which is great, and is due about 6 weeks before the wedding. We didn't want kids at the wedding, and were sort of hoping she would leave the baby home with her husband's parents, but we just got a note from her asking if we had...

I still find it amazing how many issues there are to navigate around Family and Friends when it comes to weddings. When I got engaged, and asked my 4 best friends to be a bridesmaid, I didn't imagine the drama it would cause that I didn't ask my...

I'm starting to pull together everything I need to get the actual Marriage Lincence. This form has a section for "Religious Domination". Anyone know if this HAS to be filled out? Or by what criteria? My partner was baptised Catholic but I'm not...

Is anyone having readings for their weddings? My FSIL has agreed to do a reading for us, but wasnt sure what to read. I'm aiming to select three that I like and then let her make the final decision. What are you guys doing?

I've pretty much done most the wedding planning on my own. My FH has been there if I need an opinion but not really done any of the leg work. It's fine. I enjoy the planning. I have asked him to do one thing. Ask his sister to do a reading at the...

I'm just over 3 months out from the wedding and I'm on final touches FIRE if I do say so myself. Our vendors have been booked for ages. But I ordered the groomsmen ties/pocket squares (round 2 as my FH picked the wrong colour when I left him to do it...

Let me start by saying, I LOVE my mom. And overall she is supportive and wonderful. She however, is the only thing stressing me out for this wedding. When my mum doesn't like something, she is not very good (and I don't know if she tries) at hiding...

I'm finding Hair and Make up costs are CRAZY. Currently I'm trying to sort out how much to tip and would love some feedback. Make up: Bride - $25 (I paid $65 for my trial, so day of is only $25) Bridesmaids (x3) - $60...

For my favours, I want to put a short and sweet, but not too mushy quote about love or the heart or something like that. Anyone have any recommendations? It's to go on a book mark.

I'm trying to put together my day of time line and for the most part, no problem. However, how do you schedule the photographer? I have them for 8 hours and I was thinking of having them start at 1:30PM. This is the time line I was thinking for them,...

I am SO SO SO excited. I'm headed to pick up the invitations in a few minutes as I just got the call that they are ready! For me, this is the most real part of the wedding.. sending invites, getting people to show up. I mean the ring picking was...

Really bad title, I know. I'm feeling very.. sad for my wedding right now and was just hoping to get some words of encouragement. It's been a bit of a difficult road as my FH's family hasn't been supportive. They probably think they have been, but...

We're wanting to ask my FSIL to do a reading during our ceremony to have her be involved with the wedding. There's been some tension over the fact I didn't ask her to be a bridesmaid. Does anyone have any suggestions on a nice way to ask her to do a...
