How Do We Decide Where to Marry if Our Families Are in Different Countries?
My fiance and I are from different countries and continents. Is it more important to choose a wedding location that is convenient for both sides? Or should we just have a wedding for 'us'?

Should I cancel my bridal shower if I’m eloping?
My fiancé and I have been planning our wedding for December 19 of this year. Just this week we have decided to elope on November 21. My maid of honour has already sent out invites for my bridal shower on November 5. Is it appropriate to cancel it? Or should I go through with it…

Budget For Bridal Party?
Instead of telling them you’ve decided to exclude them without offering a reason — which is bound to hurt some feelings — honesty is the best policy. Sure, the added cost of getting to Hawaii may mean some or all of them won’t be able to make the trip, but it should be their decision.…

Reputable Supplier?
The best way to gauge whether a supplier is reputable regardless of what your in-house coordinator says (your taste may be different) is to ask to see his/her work.

Reception Back Home?
Well, first you have to face the fact that you very well might hurt feelings regardless of your tact: Some friends and relatives will be surprised that they were not included in the ceremony. But you should also remember that it’s your wedding, and if you want an intimate ceremony on a beach, who can…

How To Start Planning?
Your best bet is to contact a resort in the Dominican Republic that does weddings, and then leave it to the experts, planning the entire thing through them. Many Caribbean resorts host weddings and can take care of everything, from getting paperwork done (making sure you get the licence on time and are in the…

Avoiding Rainy Season?
Rain is one thing many couples fear will put a damper on their special day — it’s certainly one thing you can’t control! Luckily, you can hedge your bets. There are a number of online resources that specify the rainy seasons for places around the world. The CIA World Factbook and any of the major…

Prewedding Site Inspection?
We firmly believe that one visit to your site before the wedding is absolutely essential — the pictures on a website can sometimes be deceiving and it’s important to know exactly what you are getting. You’ll likely see something — a view you love, a room you want to avoid, a “pool rules” sign you…
