Hi Tim, Hannah and Grace,
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi,
I am a writer for the NY Times, doing a story about wedding books, and how there are SOOO many out there! I am looking to interview a bride--or a groom--who has bought a lot of books and thought you might be able to either be a source or point me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out why there are so many books on so many subjects--and why are people willing to pay for books when they can buy magazines?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
I am actually out of the country right now but would love to talk or email. My address is AEllin123@aol.com.
Best,
Abby Ellin
Hi Emily, wow- very impressed by your site. I wish I had found this 7 years ago when I got married!
Keep up the great work on the site!

Hi Emily - loved the site, but hope you don't mind me writing in with a couple of corrections. I work as a freelance, marketing www.weddinginsurance.co.uk on the internet. My client, Voyager Insurance Services Ltd, offer what I reckon is possibly the best value wedding insurance in the UK, yet they're not on your list (appears at no. 2 on Google!). Their wedding insurance is called Dreamsaver Wedding Insurance, is available at www.weddinginsurance.co.uk, and has become hugely popular. Voyager are specialists, and can tailor in special requirements (£5 million public liability is just one example). If you wanted to add Dreamsaver Wedding Insurance to your list, we'd be delighted.
The other correction is that hitched.co.uk sell Dreamsaver Wedding Insurance from Voyager Insurance Services Ltd (they also sell the policy you mention in your article, but certainly not exclusively!).
Best regards
Caroline
Hi Emily,

Hi Emily,
I found your website searching for ideas on how to write my wedding invitations. I was really impressed with your suggestions. However, I still have a dilemma and I was hoping you could help me out. I am having a double wedding next year. My fiance and I are sharing the wedding with his older brother and fiance. I have reviewed your suggestions but I still feel that they might not be what we need. Can you suggest how we can list the parents of the brides with out it getting confusing?
Thank you ;)
My daughter recently married. Among her attendents was her best MALE friend. They have been friends for over 10 years and my daughter and he wanted him to be a part of this special time. He even attended the bachlorette week end! He had the support of the bride and groom. their families,all of the other attendents, who all love him, his family, and most importantly, his girlfriend. I think that this was a special way for him to show his love for my daughter and her new husband. More brides should consider this.
I came across this site while stressing out about a situation with my own daughter's wedding. I'm not sure how to handle this. She is getting married for the first time to a great guy and my husband and I couldn't be happier. However, my husband is her stepfather, and her father's family live several states away. It is doubtful they will help financially with the wedding, and my husband and I have assumed that responsibility. So far, everything has gone smoothly. The wedding is not until October, 2009. However, last night my daughter sent me the guest list, and my 82-year-old aunt is on it. This is causing me a great deal of anxiety because she is a raging alcoholic. My childhood memories are cluttered with family holidays and gatherings watching my parents, grandmother, and aunt and uncle getting wasted. While everyone now is deceased, I found myself feeling very insulted that this aunt is on the list. My husband tried to convince me that this was, after all, all about Sarah, and I shouldn't get so bent out of shape.
Easier said than done. I'm having the same kind of dread I felt everytime a holiday approached for the first 40 years of my life! It is doubtful that this aunt will even be able to come, but my excitement over planning this event has diminished greatly, and I'm now feeling put upon. I have already contracted with the venue for everything BUT alcohol. My daughter and her fiancee want that to be included too, but I'm so upset right now, I'm thinking of telling them that if the aunt remains on the list, I'm not spending one cent on alcohol.
With the already stress that exists with the bio family of my daughter, I'm kind of beside myself. It doesn't help that my future son-in-law comes from a stable solid family in which there has never been a divorce! I know you are not an "advice" column, but maybe you could offer something.
Signed,
Anxious mom!
My daughter is getting married in a month. She is very independant and decided she doesn't want her father to walk her down the isle...she can find her own way to the alter. My question is, her father and I are divorced. What is the proper ettiquette for him walking down the isle? Does he walk alone, behind me (I will be ushered) or do we find a female to usher him down the isle? We are both so confused over this!
Thanks for any help!
E. great site. looking forward to meeting you.
