Bottom Line
Posted by: aretania on: June 28, 2010
Of all the weddings I have been to and been involved with there is the same bottom line, as long as the couple has a fun and great day nothing else matters. Everything else will have been worth it, the stress, the money and the long hours. It is all about them. Wedding AB, went [...]
Guilt
Posted by: aretania on: June 23, 2010
I feel slightly guilty that I am ranting and raving on here about my weddings, meanwhile my bride is telling me that I should write the book on being a MOH because I have been doing such a good job. While appreciated it made me feel like scum for complaining on here.
Tailors
Posted by: aretania on: June 23, 2010
I ran into a small problem with my bridesmaid dress. It was most certainly built for someone who has a chest, and I do not. It was also built for someone who has very very large high/long shoulders. The sample I tried on did not have these problems, but for some reason when my dress [...]
Bachelorette
Posted by: aretania on: June 23, 2010
Question to all : What is your favorite bachelorette idea? My Answer: I haven’t found it yet, but we threw a good one this past weekend. It wasn’t your traditional going out on the town bachelorette, but it was a great girls weekend away. The weekend before the wedding was the perfect time to get [...]
Crunch Time
Posted by: aretania on: June 23, 2010
It’s crunch time. Wedding A-B is finally this weekend. In the last month since I wrote so much has happened by the way of drama, poor decisions, wacky timing and general dysfunction, that I am not sure I will ever have time to write about all of it. Here is a brief list of some [...]
Mother in Law Mess
Posted by: aretania on: May 14, 2010
I have unfortunately run across a mother in law issue in wedding A-B. This is an area where the bride’s attitude makes all the difference. Depending on what type of bride you have, the reaction may be a non-event or one that takes up weeks of your life. I’m pretty level-headed and logical and my bride [...]
Power Struggle
Posted by: aretania on: March 17, 2010
I imagine there was a time when bridesmaids didn’t have to do anything. The reason I think this is because the MOB (mother of the bride) for current wedding I am in, let’s call it A-B, in which I am the MOH, said as much. She was extremely surprised at how involved we have been. [...]

I found this article right after my ranting and raving post below. It is an interesting read and I agree with a lot of it. http://www.slate.com/id/2167870/
The Truth About Diamonds
Posted by: aretania on: February 15, 2010
Well I guess this post should be more aptly named “my truth” about diamonds. The truth is, I don’t like them. I never have. I have never seen what all the fuss is about. I think there are so many prettier stones out there. This is a small problem on the wedding circuit and I [...]
Money – Part Deux
Posted by: aretania on: February 9, 2010
A couple of months ago I wrote a little rant about knowing your finances during the wedding process. As a follow-up to that post, here is a general breakdown of what you are looking at for the cost of being in a wedding. (Again these are the most general ones and do no include that [...]
