In planning our wedding, my fiancé and I keep discovering that we have different expectations of what a wedding is like. Most recently, it’s on the issue of time-of-day. I’ve always gone to weddings...
I've seen threads for this before, but haven't found them very helpful. What I'm looking for are songs that don't have references to breaking up, other lovers, things like "this time". There's a few...
Trying to pick the last dance song of the night but I am unsure if I should go with a slow paced or fast paced song! I was either going to use "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran or "You Shook Me All...

Hey ya'll....I'm kind of having a brain fart/over thinking moment. I'm getting ready to make a sign for our guest book. I'd like people to write us a short message rather than just sign their name, so...
My friend gave me permission to share the story of her wedding here: - Power went out 5 minutes into the reception, and never came back on. The generator caught on fire when they tried to use it so we...
My reception area will be flipped during the cocktail hour (the cocktail "hour" will only be half an hour and then we will be sending people inside to be seated for dinner). I am going to have drinks...
So my daddy passed last year, the plan was to get married after I finished school.(I’m 32 and in nursing school). Me and my fiancé have both lost our dads and I have no idea what to do.

My father and I are huge Elvis fans!! He raised me on Elvis! I even have a TCB tattoo. I got engaged earlier this year on his front porch. So it’s only natural that I want an Elvis song to dance with...
My father and I are in a much better place now. In fact, he’s now walking me down the aisle when just last year I wasn’t going to have either of my parents attend due to longstanding issues. Anyways,...
