    Buffet style Wedding reception ...?

    As long as the paper/plastic wear that you get is sturdy enough not to bend in people's hands or break with the utensils being used on it or leak/drip when wet (think salad dressing) then you'll be fine. They do have plastic plates that look like china and plastic utensils that look like...

    Do brides have any say in the groom's side of the wedding party?

    I've always thought not, but here's the story: My sister, B, was engaged years ago (6, I think?) and found out her fiance was a drug dealer. She broke it off with him. My brother, E, was good friends with the guy, druggy. (E was into drugs himself at the time.) E has straightened himself...

    When meeting with a priest to discuss getting married, do they typically

    Are you letting your groom pick his own attire?

    I told him no white tuxes. He went on his own, with a swatch of my color/fabric, to pick them. He came home and said the tailor said a light silver vest/cummerbund would be best for the groomsmen. I told him a blue in a close color to what I had would be better. He was going down the next...

    Is this a good first dance song?

    If you and your husband like it and/or if it has meaning to you, I don't care if it's "Baby Got Back" I think it's a good song!

    What is the money dance in a wedding?

    A money dance, or dollar dance, is where the guests pay money (usually a dollar or so) to dance with the bride and/or groom.
