Dad for best man?
My OH still hasn't made up his mind about who to have as his best man, although we are getting married next June! He has ruled out most people, and most of his friends are not that close. The only person he can think of is his dad, but he is worried that might be a bit strange. Can anyone let me know what they think, so I…

Help with wording (again) and venue
Hi all Hope everyone is well. I just wondered if you could help. I have been told by my venue that they now have an "exclusive use" wedding the night before our wedding and therefore now have to find somewhere else to get ready the night before.

Anyone else struggling to start planning their wedding?
I got engaged to my OH last November and we have done nothing with regards to actually sorting out the wedding. I'm the furthest away from a bridezilla you could get. I'm just not that bothered by it!! I want to marry him, and we're getting married before we have kids, but i just can't be bothered to actually plan the…

Make Up Ideas
Hello All, How have you/did you pick how you would like your wedding make up? I know that bridal hair magazines exist but haven't noticed make up magazines.

Just thought I would take a light hearted look at how times have changed regarding weddings. Perhaps others would like to join in. When I got married the first time my parents paid for the wedding... thats how it was done in the dim and distant past. They compiled the guest list too although I had some input. The reason…
