    • Should we invite my step-dad's family to the wedding now that my mom is divorcing him after 20 years of marriage?
    • What are some alternative ideas to the Unity Candle that we can incorporate into our ceremony?
    • Should we have a preset salad at our outdoor tent wedding to minimize guest movement, or would it enhance the guest experience to have the caterer serve salads at the table while keeping dinner buffet-style?
    • How do I dress the dining tables if we are having a buffet-style dinner service?
    • How can we keep guests entertained at our wedding without traditional dances or cake cutting
    • What are some engaging and not overly cheesy virtual activities to introduce my friends to each other before my destination bachelorette, considering they live in different parts of the country and will be meeting for the first time?
