Re: Music for walking down the aisle..
Do it! I am planning to walk down to Songbird by Eva Cassidy, and the rest of the music I've planned for my ceremony is quite rock-y. But it's very us, we would never be the type to have a string quartet playing. |

Re: Little upset about first dress fitting
I had a similar experience at my recent dress fitting, in regards to being told not to lose any weight. I'm 3.5 months out, and hadn't really started the full wedding weight loss plan. I was really upset when she told me that, because I wouldn't be happy if I got married at this size. But I've since... |

Re: "your dream venue doesn't exist" -- Mom
What were your mum's issues with the venue? If you loved it, maybe you should try to convince her it was good instead of looking for something else? I know it's awkward when they're paying, but unless they are genuine concerns that she has, this may be your best option. |

Re: Interfaith couple and teaching guests the HORA
I'm sure everyone will figure out the steps, just make sure they feel welcome to join in.
