Just a question, since there's a few usher related questions about at the moment. Why do traditionally the bride's family sit one side and the groom's family the other? Why do we still do it? What...

Ok so we've just had a response back - from an elderly relative, simply "I am unable to attend" written on the rsvp, no explanation, no excuse. There is no reason at all that I can think of why she...

Recently we've been thinking about music for our ceremony, blessing etc. We think we're almost at our shortlist we want. Just listening to a random internet radio station at work and one of "our...

Like many, we'll be producing "Order of the day" booklets to give out to all our guests on arrival, which includes the bits for the ceremony, music, readings, thanks to various people, links to our...

It's at 1:38 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBFQcIngOGc I know it's a bit of classical music but I have no idea what it's called; yes it featured in a 1980's arcade game called Pengo...

Just wondered if anyone has any pictures - or opinions - on two colours of organza in front of the top table? These would be the full length of the table rather than half and half, if that makes...

My parents divorced some years ago, and my dad remarried about 10-12 years ago. My mum is in a new relationship too, he has 2 kids from a previous marriage and although I get on well with my stepmum,...

Just having a chat with my b2b about wedding music etc and although we're still struggling to come up with a list of things we do want, there's a few things we don't think are really that appropriate...

Is it simply a 'pay bar'? I've checked with the hotel and they do accept cards - people can start their own tab - as well as cash. Just working on a thankyou letter for those that have responded to...

Don't you just hate those moments? Invites? Simple administrative task. No problem. Ceremony? Fairly straightforward. No problem. Blessing service? Fairly straightforward. No problem. Wedding...

Need some assistance from the collective masses, if we may. Thinking about buttonholes. We've got 9 altogether. Mine and the best man will both be double roses, the other 7 will be single roses - 3...

Sorry, pointless post. Just that it is As you were, ladies and gentlemen.

As title really. Bullet points don't work properly although they do in preview. 1 2 3 4 a b c d

Ok so we've finally got the bits together to start looking at table centrepieces. To remind you, our colourscheme is hunter green and ivory, with autumnal accents. Our table centres will have a square...

Any recommendations? I know expensive isn't always the best but cheapest can sometimes be rubbish too. Really simply something to put on table settings and to take home a lump of cake in so it doesn't...

Just thinking ahead for options for our 'order of service' for the ceremony and rest of the day, and I was wondering whether you welcome people to the wedding of A & B or the marriage of A & B...

Funny film, but not the purpose of the post. Just a couple of question really about sex, partly because as a nation we seem to find it a difficult subject to talk about it. 1) Why is it that couples...

Just a thought I'm throwing out for opinion really, can't make my mind up either way yet. Having received our place name holders in the post this afternoon, I'm now thinking about the cards to put in...

We'd like to give everyone some seeds to plant as part of their favour pack; but we can't decide what flowers to have. It's an autumnal theme with ivory and hunter green as our main colours. Getting...

We were looking at flowers and stuff last night and have come across a problem and wondered if anyone had any advice. My parents split up some years ago, my mum is in a new relationship and although...

We're looking at having something like this to scatter on the tables....

So as not to introduce another factor into the 'registrars speaky bits' thread... this may not be a big debate but I didn't want to take it off on another tangent. [quote user="ForTheLoveOfMrsBrown"]...

Ever since we got the "Shop / Venues / Suppliers / Bridalwear" etc drop down menu box, whenever I go to click on the line underneath to navigate back through the forums (in this case Home > Forums...

So... unless I've missed something, the tally appears to be BRIDEZILLA AWARD 2010 (first place) MOST OUTRAGEOUS POST ON A THREAD THAT MADE YOUR JAW DROP (first place) BEST COMMENT OR PHRASE YOU'VE...

A question to those of you that have been married before. Just booked an appointment for a couple of weeks time to do the paperwork in my district (my b2b has to book one in hers, we've already booked...

Just wondered if there's anyone else booked in at the venue we've got booked. I know we've got some date twins but I didn't know if anyone else had chosen the same venue, or one of the others in the...

I was looking through some stuff and found my parent's wedding photo album from 1969. Inside is a list of things they received as gifts on their wedding day, which I thought you might find interesting...

I hope that none of you lovely ladies are dealing with either of the above shops as they appear to have finally expired....

They're going to fill up the first page soon - I don't suppose it would be better to have a separate sub-forum for them to all stay together?

Have you ever found any 'hidden gems' in your kitchen cupboards? I'm home sick today so doing a few little pottering things and thought I should perhaps have a rummage in the cupboards as they're...

Curious why so many threads in the 'planning' forum end up starting with O/T and are about things nothing to do with weddings. More to the point, why don't the moderators move them out of there and...

Noticed an advert in the Metro today in case any of you lovely ladies are interested. Bridal Gown Sample clearance sale from £75 8-10 November - Pronuptia Central London (93 Hatton Gardens EC1N 8NX)...
