Next question: Would you rather... have a dress that looks amazing in person but so-so in pictures or vice versa?

    I thought they were so funny as well! And that's awesome that your parents know what you would want! Have they helped you make any decisions? Smiley smile

    That's tough for me. We have his dad and step mom. My dad and step mom. My step dad and his girlfriend. My mom has unfortunately passed away. So if I had to choose, I'd say my step dad and his girlfriend. They would plan something that is "us" the best.

    I would pick my parents. I feel like they would have a better idea of how to plan a wedding for us that we would envision for ourselves. With that being said, I’m sure my in laws would do a great job!

    That's great that you could go with either set of parents! Not many members of the community feel that way for themselves, so it's nice to know that you have trust in both to plan your wedding! Smiley smile

    That is a no-brainer for me, but I would have to say my parents. I love them and dey have planned so many parties already in the past. My future in-laws are pretty old 2 so I don't see that happening.

    Not really, sadly. The wedding will be in DC and she lives across the country from me and my FH. I'd absolutely love for her to help but it's challenging to do virtually. That being said she is a good sounding board.

    Definitely my future mother in law and my mother. All 3 of are a Taurus and we all are creative and organized. My dad and my FH dad they would be all over the place.
