Choosing a MOH... PLEASE HELP!!!

[Deleted User] — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 01:13:03 +0000

Hello Knotties,

I need some advice and I'm not too sure if I'm posting this in the right place.
Well here goes:

I recently got engaged on my birthday (Oct 23, 2016), and my FI and I have set our wedding day to be in May, 2018, however, we've already started choosing our wedding party. I have a friend who I've basically grew up with, so shes more like a sister, and while I was thinking about making her my MOH, she was the center of a few arguments the night before my birthday and somehow made that night about her and how she felt even after I asked her not to.

Also her and my FI don't really get along. I do have a friend I would like to ask to be my MOH and I ultimately want to choose a MOH who represents my FI and I. He has already chosen his BM and GM.

Any advice on how to let my friend know? (BTW I would still like her to be one of my maids)

Returning signed marriage license

Knottie1451242234 — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 14:28:32 +0000

Hello!

We totally over-looked the back of our marriage license that states it needs to be returned signed within 5 days of the wedding. We mailed it after our honeymoon and are wondering how strict that 5 days is. Anyone have any knowledge?

Thanks so much!

Changing name at SS and DMV in same day?

londinium215 — Tue, 03 May 2016 14:26:03 +0000

Hi all,

I'm living (and getting married) abroad but will be flying home to visit family about two weeks after my wedding. I plan to take my husband's last name and will be legally changing it in NY during my visit.

My plan is to go to the SS office in the morning when it opens and change my name there; I've already checked and they're okay with accepting an overseas marriage license despite the website implying otherwise.

But will I be able to go to the DMV that same day, or do I need to wait for my new SS card? I'm only in NY for a few days so if I can't change the name on my driver's license immediately, I'll have to wait at least a year, which I really don't want to do.

Basically, is having my current license, my current passport (both in my maiden name) plus my marriage license enough proof to change the name on my driver's license? The website doesn't seem clear to me either way.

Thanks for any insight anyone has!

Affordable wedding officiant (Non-religious)?

MCmeow — Fri, 13 May 2016 16:12:43 +0000

It's so hard to find an officiant that doesn't charge close to $1000! Does anyone know of any non-religious officiants that charges $300-400? Our wedding is next year in May 26 2017, on a Friday in Staten Island. Thanks!

St. Patrick's Cathedral and Ellis Island

LileCarmel — Mon, 02 May 2016 17:25:04 +0000

Hi everyone

We're currently looking at having our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral but we just wanted to see what people's thoughts are and if they had any weddings there and if there's any advice or tips they could offer. We haven't been yet but we're hoping to go in the next couple of weeks.

We just wanted to know if they had restrictions about music, clothes, flowers, etc. Obviously this is something we need to ask them ourselves but I thought it would be quicker to ask everyone here before we go,

We're also looking at having our reception on Ellis Island so we're seeing if anyone had been to a wedding there or had theirs there.

Thanks very much!

Small ceremony & reception - all at restaurant venue

TeamAwesomeJ&J — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 21:14:45 +0000

We are planning a very small wedding with about 40 guests. The ceremony and reception will be held in the same place. We are booking a private room at a restaurant. I think that we might have a problem with being able to have a rehearsal because it is in a restaurant. Has anyone else done this, or had an issue with being able to plan a rehearsal?

Because we both are having all of our siblings in the wedding party, and a couple of close friends. Our wedding party will be 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen. I am worried that things might be a little disorganized on the day of without a rehearsal. What do you think? Has anyone ever walked in a wedding that did not have a rehearsal?

How early to book venue?

MCmeow — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 14:40:34 +0000

Hi everyone! We're planning on having our wedding in May 2017 and even though it's 19 months away I'm worried about our favorite venues being booked quickly. We're looking at a few local ones and some that are an hour drive away. But the top two are the Picnic House at Prospect park and the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. I was wondering if anyone has experience on these venues and know how early they usually get filled up. Thanks!

Is it possible to transfer a NJ marriage certificate to be a NYC one?

op0 — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 18:51:22 +0000

My fiance and I are both New Yorkers but we are having our ceremony in NJ.

My fiance really wants our marriage certificate to be from NYC because it's where we live and the place we are from, as opposed to a NJ certificate which is a place we don't have much of a connection to, aside from having our ceremony there.

Do you know if it's possible to "transfer" a NJ certificate to a NYC one?

TIA!

Shrine of Saint Elizabeth

Venues

[Deleted User] — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 18:23:49 +0000

Does anyone have any suggestions for venues in The Bronx or Queens? I have been reading reviews for places like Villa Barone but most of them are outdated. Many of the places in Queens that I have been researching seem great but I would prefer something in The Bronx if possible.

Wave Hill?

[Deleted User] — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 20:58:12 +0000

I recently looked into having my wedding at Wave Hill for about 80 guests. If anyone has had a wedding there would you mind sharing what your total budget was?

I'm not planing on having a bridal party or any extra elements that would bring the cost up but including the catering, photography and a reasonable budget for NYC florists I'm already at $60k all in - including the $10k donation fee the venue requires.

That's not including my dress, transportation there, etc. For such a small guest count, I feel like it's so expensive. Did anyone else spend so much for what's considered a "small" wedding?

Arte Cafe or I Trulli?

Knottie1451186983 — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 03:18:06 +0000

I am planning a 35 person luncheon after a wedding in Central Park on June 18. I live in Pittsburgh and will not be able to get to the site beforehand. Anyone have insight on either?

NYC / Long Island restaurant venues?

TeamAwesomeJ&J — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 07:23:59 +0000

Hi Ladies,

My fiance and I just got engaged on Christmas Eve. We have decided to have a short engagement, and get married sometime this summer (June - Aug). We aren't settled on a specific date yet, and are willing to chose a Friday or Sunday date depending on venue availability.

We are also going to limit our guest list to 50 ppl or so, in effort to save money. Just close family and friends.

Most venues that I have researched so far, have a 75person or more minimum. So, I am thinking that a restaurant would work for us too. Although, I would love some place that has a site for the ceremony too.

Any suggestions?

5K budget in NYC or Hudson Valley: need venue

danindi — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:16:12 +0000

While I may be able to talk my fiancé into increasing our budget to around 7k, the truth is we both want to buy a house (outside of the city) in a couple of years, and he has a daughter with a pricey pre-K. We're not going into this with a ton of family assistance and I'm not comfortable funneling alllll of my savings into it. So! Here is where I am at: we're looking at either November or December 2015 or March-May 2016. 50-60 people. I am absolutely adamant against an outdoor wedding in NY because I am faaaar too anxious to spend the better part of a year freaking out over the weather (and I would). But I need help finding an indoor venue/catering options that don't soar past 5k.

50% of our guest list is coming from out of town so I want to be able to feed people (buffet/stations is fine with me) and not just do passed h'ors d'oeuvres, but I am having no luck finding anything.

Getting married at city hall and then just having a dinner party later is becoming an option, and fast, despite my reluctance, unless we can track something down. My dreeeeeeam would have been the Metropolitan Building but at 6k for just the venue, that's not an option.

We're looking in the outer boroughs and Hudson Valley (he lives in Westchester). Not interested in Long Island, fwiw. Would anyone have any suggestions at all? I've started to really dislike trying to plan my wedding.
