Laurie's Wedding Planner

Wedding planning has opened my eyes to a whole new world of etiquette, including what is and isn't considered appropriate or tacky. From the proper way to handle people fishing for invites to how to correctly word save the dates to my newest dilemma: whether or not to "Honeyfund."

As the wedding planning continues, every now and then I like to think about the less stressful, more fun decisions...like song choices! Duzzy and I were talking about it, and had a pretty good idea for the father-daughter dance...or maybe our walk-in song.

Wedding planning has not been my favorite thing thus far, but I can tell you that planning our honeymoon has been the most fun thing yet!

Imagine finding the wedding dress of your dreams, ordering it from a bridal shop and placing a hefty deposit, and then...never hearing from that shop again. It sounds like a nightmare, but it's become a reality for many customers of a local bridal shop.

The wedding planning continues, slowly but surely, but while I was off from work last week, I crossed a big item off the 'to-do' list!

As my wedding planning process SLOWLY moves along, I'm starting to think about some of the details of things, but one of the first questions I always get is, "What are your colors going to be?"

I recently read an editorial in the Asbury Park Press on 5 reasons why millennials like me can't handle marriage anymore, including crippling finances, social media, and 'virtually non-existant sex.' And I couldn't help but think it was a complete crock.

Wedding planning thus far has been the complete opposite of enjoyable. I think I'm too overwhelmed with choices and possibilities, but I'm sure once I pick a venue, the rest will fall into place. So...help me choose!

Now that I'm planning a wedding, it seems my entire schedule revolves around bridal shows, but coming up is one that I'm REALLY excited for!

Very, VERY minor wedding planning is under way, and it's all started with choosing a date!

Since I spent a good portion of my week talking about a new sparkly thing on my left ring finger, I thought this week's cocktail should be sparkly too!

I've been engaged for less than a week, but of course, the advice -- whether wanted or not -- is already pouring in!
