Question of the Week: Are Bride Wars Real?

May 11th, 2010, by Azure

As you might imagine, I spend a lot of time on bridal forums, bridal sites, and message boards. I've been noticing a trend lately that's kind of disturbing. Brides seem sort of hard on each other.

Do you think brides are nastier to each other online than they are in person? Come on...

Question of the Week: What Wedding Questions Do You Hate?

January 19th, 2010, by Azure

So, your favorite question that you've been asked recently is probably "Will you marry me?", but once that question has been answered, a slew of other questions from well-meaning and less well-meaning people starts to come. Whether it's the rude (Why? Are you pregnant?), the clueless (So, when will I get my invitation?), or the just plan stress-inducing (Have you done, insert the one thing you haven't even thought about yet?) Sometimes the most benign question can still set you off....

It got me thinking, what if they made a toy like that for brides? You could match different hairstyles with different bodices, different skirts, and different shoes and see which combination added up to the perfect wedding dress? Then I realized, they do make it, it’s called scissors and glue, or...
