“My fiance and I are high school sweethearts so we are having our wedding in our hometown, however, we both live out of state. We can both easily stay at our own parents’ houses for the couple nights leading to wedding but are undecided about where to stay after the wedding. Does it even make sense to rent an airbnb/hotel for one night? I don’t think I’d mind just staying at my fiancé’s parent’s house (this is where we stay when we visit home) to save money but at the same time, privacy is nice.”

“TL;DR Need ideas for something to do, or to already have set up for once we get back home, after my proposal to my girlfriend and all the celebration/plans are over. Alright so let me explain what i’m asking here. So i’m planning out my proposal to my gf (of 7 whole years😳), and with the help of some amazing women in my life… we’ve gotten the perfect night in place. But upon my own pondering I began realize once the proposal party is over, me and my then finance would just be headed home to do”
“Hi all, I’ve locked in my bridesmaid colours, but am struggling to make a choice between sage and beige for groomsmen. Groom will be in forest green. Whatever colour groomsmen are not, our dads will wear, with mums in purple. I’ve done a mockup on canva - what looks best.

“We are planning a summer 2027 wedding in the US (medium cost of living area) and I am trying to build a realistic day-of timeline. We both work a lot, are in our 30s, and are genuinely excited for the party, but we also care a lot about feeling connected to each other that day. Not in a performative way, just moments where we can breathe, kiss, eat, and remember we are a couple. I have heard so many people say they barely saw their partner until the end of the night, and then were too wired to b”
“My fiance and I are getting married on Nov 22 this year. He is wearing a burgundy suit, our bridesmaids are wearing black satin, and I’m wearing the attached dress. He is only about an inch taller than me, but with his shoes I can get away with wearing 2-3 inch heels and keep us the same height. I’m really torn on what type of shoe to wear. I think I want to do a small heel. These are what I’m currently thinking. Happy to have any recs, though! I really don’t want to spend more than $60. I’m not”
“Planning a wedding to take place next year, under 35k. We intentionally planned it simple, prioritizing good music, cool venue and plenty of food. overall wanting it to just be a fun party for the guests . However as we get into more of the details and the guest list, I’ve started to feel whatever about it all. Half of the guest list are family/strangers to me because they’re my partners family/friend who live far and I’ve not met or have talked to a handful of times. Also, because of the venue,”
“Me and my Fiance are getting married soon. We aren’t leaving to our honeymoon until a few days after the wedding. On our wedding night I want to book a cute Airbnb as a romantic getaway just him and me celebrating us, and then go home the next day. However my Fiance wants to just go home and relax after a long day. (Which to an extent I get..) And to save some money. However, We live in a small house and besides work, I’m home a lot. To me that’s not really romantic at all and I just want our we”
“Being a full-time event operations coordinator, I knew beforehand that I would be in my element when it came to wedding planning, but 5 months into engaged life, I already have most of our suppliers sorted, my spreadsheets are things of ✨️beauty✨️ and we are well on track to meet the budget. Bridesmaids are happy, parents are happy, and – most importantly! – so is the groom. There's not really a point to this post. I'm just crazy excited 😆 submitted by /u/Honest-Grass-313 [l”
