BubbleJ · November 2009

until P&E.What were your suprised to find even exsisted once you started reading P&E and/or planning your weddding?

kikibaby · November 2009

Charger plates, dollar dances, card boxes

Yes, weddding. With 3 d's. The third one makes it extra special

BRIE!! Come on, now!

Uhhh...personalized aisle runners, the big deal about monograms (which I still think is weird), initials on the bottom of shoes, pocketfold invitations, bouquet jewelry, trash the dress shoots, huge engagement picture sessions, the inability to word invitations, and a lack of general common sense.

Night_Sprite · November 2009

Also, the stuff on the shoes!

katiewhompus · November 2009

Dollar dances That some people have no qualms with HM registries That apparently favors are "unnecessary" and "a dying art" (I still disagree)

Boudior and TTD photosCandy barsDOC's and videographers for smaller budgetsThere's more, but that's all I got at the moment, brain fart.

Brie2010 · November 2009

I will switch it up: I had never heard of a NON-gap wedding before P&E.I've attended one since then, but every single other one I've been to has one. I hate them and we're not having one.

mandysmear · November 2009

groom's cake.

NotNumbers · November 2009

Cash bars = bad (I'm from NZ, we don't exactly bring the class)Speak for yourself. I'm from NZ and I've never been to a wedding with a cash bar and don't know anyone who thinks they're acceptable.I'd never heard of engagement pics, TTD or dollar dances.

LindyL · November 2009

Ditto on groom's cake. That dollar dances are bad (midwest, y'all).That people were capable of spazzing out over some minutiae that I never even considered when planning my wedding.
