Top 11 Ways to Waste Your Money (while planning your wedding)

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN, OCTOBER 12 2007 08:00 AM | PERMALINK

When you get married; there are some things that you absolutely need for the wedding to take place. An officiant, a location, a fiance. There are other things that we all hope to have at our weddings; food, music, good company. You get the idea. On television, weddings are giant elegant affairs with $5000 cakes and $75,000 budgets. In real life however, some if not most of us are looking for any way we can to cut corners; without our wedding appearing like we cut corners. We all want to have a nice...
The Honeymoon Blog (Italy or Bust!)

Often times in life, we start out wanting one thing; and end up with something entirely different. This was the case with our honeymoon, and now that I look back on it; it was probably for most people a very unconventional, strange way to spend your first week as a newly married couple. And did I mention it was perfect? Ever since I can remember, I always dreamed of going to Italy for my honeymoon. Everyone always says that women are born thinking about their wedding day. I was a bit different. I was born...

"My family is getting too involved in the planning of the wedding. The problem is that they are putting up a lot of the cash, so I don't know how to say No to their ideas without making anyone angry. What do I do? Help!"

Ah money. The root of all Evil. When it comes to weddings, there is nothing that complicates things more than money. (unless you have members of your wedding party who happen to be Ninjas, but that was last week's question. I digress.) That little green piece of paper can cause so...

"Why did the insensitive, drunk & embarrassing members of my family get upset when they weren't invited to my wedding? Dont they see how loud and rude they are? Oh, and what if one of them is a ninja - the very same ninja who promised me years ago to train me in the ancient art of ninjate, but didn't. Should i invite him?"

Pause for effect. More pausing, with confused look on my face......

Okay Kevin. Although I have the distinct feeling that this question is nothing more than a figment of...

Excuse me, this costs HOW much?

Have you ever noticed that the word WEDDING is a magic word? As in, whenever you say it to someone, you get an instant reaction. Sometimes negative, other times positive. When speaking with any kind of vendor or salesperson; anyone offering a service, using the word WEDDING can suddenly quadruple the price of something instantly! I remember trying to plan our rehearsal dinner at a nice restaurant, and speaking with the banquet managers and others in charge of such events. A typical conversation involved...
Dear Fashionista,

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN, SEPTEMBER 12 2007 11:49 AM | PERMALINK

From the looks of your screen name, you must know a lot about fashion. So I will make a deal with you. I will help you out with ideas for bridal party gifts, if you will one day return the favor. If all goes well with this performing and acting thing, I am hoping to one day be at the very least; semi-famous. When I get to that point, would you please agree to never put my picture in one of those fashion magazines where I am wearing some awful outfit with the word "DON'T" written underneath my blacked out...

The Proposal

Don and I had talked for months about getting engaged, but still; on the day he proposed, I didn't know it was coming. It was the Sunday before Christmas, my very favorite holiday. After a 5 year long-distance relationship, the Florida boy finally decided to pack up his life and move in with me, to New Jersey. This was his first holiday season here, and seeing NYC at Christmas-time is a must. So I took him all around to see the lights at Tavern on the Green, a horse and carriage...
