This is a super silly question - I'm almost embarrassed to ask! How does a bride get drinks on the wedding day? Does she wait in line like everyone else? Does someone grab her a drink?? Does she go to...

FFIL is so sweet. He went way out of his way and must have spent a small fortune on Hawaiian leis for the entire bridal party and parents and grandparents (this was kindof a surprise). FH and his...

We have a cap of $5,000 to spend on alcohol - it is based on consumption. We have about 140 guests coming. No, this likely won't cover the whole night. The estimate is closer to $8,000...

What's everyone's take on wearing red to a wedding? I'm not talking like burgundy or deep cranberry or even crimson. I'm talking a scarlet, fire-engine red? To a non-Chinese or Indian wedding (a...

If you're married, how did your groom react? If you're getting married, how do you think he will react vs. how do you hope he'll react? I feel like there's so much pressure on him! My FH is amazing....

Okay so we are staying at a hotel 20 minutes from the venue. We will be having a limo for bridal party, bride, groom. I also have a bridal suite at the venue that a lot of brides like to get in their...

Wedding is in 18 Days, gah! We have a number of new moms who are nursing. We aren't having kids or babies at the wedding; however, we'd like to make the nursing mamas lives as easy as possible...

I'm too involved to be objective about this at this point. I can't tell if I'm being unreasonable, if FMIL is being unreasonable, or what's happening. Anyway, FMIL seems to be confused. She has told...

Do people actually still give away centerpieces? The outside of ours will be completely handmade by the groom, and stained by mother of the groom, and also expensive to make. Not looking to part with...

If you had family flying in from other ends of the country/world the night before the wedding when all the VIPs (immediate family, wedding party) are in the middle of rehearsal/dinner, how did you...

I'm trying to focus on the positives, but can't help but feel so sad, defeated, and really embarrassed. We are having a relatively large wedding - inviting about 190 people. So far a ton of people...

Curious as to number of people on your guest list, how many RSVPed Yes, then No, and of those who RSVPed "Yes", how many didn't show? How did you deal with those? I would be so hurt and also angry I...
